2D Quick Image QI-C Series Creates a Single Stitched Image
Mitutoyo America Corp.’s Quick Image CNC (QI-C) series of telecentric lens-based 2D video inspection systems has expanded the lineup to include three models with a moving stage.
For larger workpieces, the combination of the moving stage and image stitching allows for coverage of the measuring envelope, creating a single stitched image on which edge detection can be applied. QIPAK software creates inspection routines, part programs and repeat measurements using a single mouse click. The telecentric all-in-focus optics is suited for shafts, stampings, plastics, electronics and other difficult-to-focus workpieces.
The QI-C Series features a field of view (32 × 24 mm), depth of focus (up to ±11 mm), motorized X-Y stage and QIPAK software providing automated measurements throughout the range of stage travel. The telecentric optical system, combined with the image stitching capability of QIPAK V6.1, allows automated measurements.
