New entry level automated non-contact cmm packed with features

The new Micro-Vu Vertex 251 Vision Measuring Centre is the latest edition to the range of measurement systems available from Metrology Direct. Designed to measure smaller components such as pressed parts, circuit boards, o-rings, seals and plastic mouldings, the Vertex 251 is an ideal automated entry level system suitable for shop floor, inspection room and laboratory use. It can measure components up to 250 x 160 x 160mm and weighing up to 10kg.

A camera based CMM, the Vertex 251 features digital, high-resolution video in colour or black and white. Programmable illumination is provided by long life LED lighting so that all parts can be measured in exactly the same way every time. Viewed magnification range can be 16X – 540X in normal mode and as much as 32X – 1080X with an optional multiplier. It is fully programmable to all magnifications and measurement accuracy is stated as three microns irrespective of magnification.

Although an entry-level model, the Vertex 251 is packed with features normally expected from more expensive measuring machines. It includes Micro-Vu’s own InSpec Metrology software that is extremely easy to use with no advanced programming knowledge required. A vast range of measuring functions including proprietary edge detection, advanced image processing, tolerancing and reporting are just a “right click” of the mouse away.

The Vertex 251 has multi-sensor capability and is delivered as a plug and play measuring system ready to accept a camera, touch probes, laser probes as well as an optional rotary index positioning device.

The Vertex 251 is just part of a wide range of Micro-Vu non-contact measurement systems available from Metrology Direct. This now includes the new entry-level SOL manual vision system and the Excel 250, with a very large stage capacity of 2500mm x 1600mm.
