Mitutoyo's Miscan Vision System Suitable for Difficult Imaging

 

 

Mitutoyo America Corp.’s Miscan Vision System is a multiple sensor microscopic-form measurement system. It uses combined coordinate measuring machine and vision measurement system technology with a micro-form scanning probe.

The Miscan uses autonomous scanning, covering micro-form to large workpieces. The MPP-NANO probe can use styli as small as 125 microns diameter to measure microscopic workpieces. The SP25M scanning probe is also supported to measure small and large-sized workpieces and features.

The system uses the same image head as Mitutoyo’s Quick Vision measuring system. The Quick Vision Apex lighting system is also incorporated, providing multiple lighting functions and evaluation software. The system also measures miniature optical tubes used in micro camera arrays.

The MPP-NANO can determine the contour of high degree aspheric lenses used in vehicle-mounted cameras. Mitutoyo says the probe works with Miscan to scan microscopic gear teeth by entering each nominal using Gearpak, the company’s gear teeth evaluation software. It evaluates the tooth profile error and tooth trace error. Miscan and MPP-NANO can also find the inner diameter of nozzles and draw dies without destructive measurement, using the stylus on holes with a maximum aspect ratio of 17:1.
