Intelligent and Automated Feature Processing Tools allow unattended inspection

The "automatic edge detection" function provides superior reproducibility of measurements regardless of the skill level of the operator. Multiple methods of "image auto focus" allows high-speed /high-accuracy height measurements of 3D features.

Easy to use measurement for multiple workpieces and repetitive feature arrays

The "step & repeat" function will measure many workpieces on the stage or fixture in one easy operation.

Automatic measurement routines are available with either a click of a button or with image recognition

The "pattern search" function automatically recognizes image patterns to create part alignment and feature measurement. By applying a "manual tool" sequence to a CNC measurement routine, automatic measurement sequencing can be performed. This "One-Click" method reduces the need for fixtures as the zero point is created anywhere on the part, fixture, or stage.

Integrated Multi-Sensor probe models enhance measurement functionality

With the Touch probe enabled system the measurement of the side faces of the workpiece are easily performed. Dimensional features such as perpendicularity, parallelism is possible. Internal side features hidden from the camera can be accessed with the star probe configuration.

Interchangeable objective lens zoom unit

The newly designed 7:1 ratio zoom unit and interchangeable objectives provide 13x – 183x on-screen optical magnification.

Exceptional objective working distance handles the tallest part measurement requirements

A working distance of 74mm reduces the risk of damaging the objective or workpiece by accidental collision.

3D Vision and Touch-Probe with 3D measurement on the same workpiece

The QV Active series can perform complex measurements that are usually made using a multitude of measurement tools. The QV Active supports 3D features such as: Planes, Cylinders, Cones along with feature profile scanning.

Two and three probe rack configurations are available. Various touch-probe module configurations can be mounted in this rack to meet a variety of needs. Automatic probe changing is supported as well as both the TP-20 and TP-200 probes.

One-click tool for feature measurements

Select the element type, and with just one click on an edge, a high accuracy measurement is taken regardless of the proficiency level of the operator. The embedded outlier removal filter automatically excludes bad data caused by burrs and dust.

The embedded intelligence of Easy Editor makes programing and editing simpler

A teaching method is adopted in which programs are automatically recorded while measurement is performed. The insertion, revision, addition, and deletion of the part program can be performed easily using the tree-structure display. Also, execution of only a certain portion of the program after editing can be performed for the purpose of confirmation. Power-user-oriented QVBasicEditor is also available.

Easily created measuring macros with walk through vitalization

ALL skill levels can easily run and repeat identical measurement routines. An image or diagram of the workpiece can be registered as an icon in an automatic measurement program, enabling the target program to be quickly executed.

Full featured 2D and 3D graphical results module allows the operator to perform visual analysis

A simple operation, just clicking a measurement graphic element shown in the graphic window, enables coordinate creation/change, combination arithmetic operations, and geometric deviation illustration of roundness, flatness, and more. A useful function is automatic creation of a measurement program just by dragging a pitch measurement element.

Measuring window layouts can be customized and assigned according to applications. For example, an administrator can display all the functions; an operator can display only the operation-related items.

Large screen format with high-definition color images reduces eye fatigue

Measurement and observation is performed using high-quality and high-definition images which prevents operator fatigue even over long periods of observation.

Wide Field of view allows more image view, ensuring easier feature locating

Using Mitutoyo's proprietary high-quality zoom system and objective lenses the feature field of view is expanded. Multiple objectives allow increased operator image viewing flexibility.

Clear edges ensure reliable measurement

Transmitted, co-axial and 4-quadrant ring lighting is provided so workpiece illumination can be set independently from the front, rear, right and left directions. This enables more reliable measurement by enhancing the sharpness of the edge of the feature to be measured.

2D Profile Analysis Software FORMTRACEPAK-AP

Contour analysis software can perform sophisticated analyses such as design value verification (Toleranced Data Sets from Feature Creation) and shape analysis (2-D Profile) with data obtained via QVPAK measurement tools.

Part Program Management Software QVPartManager

QV PartManager is part program execution management software for multiple workpieces arranged on the measuring stage. A part program can be executed and managed for various kinds of workpieces and workpieces not arranged in an orderly manner.

CAD Program Software Modules QV-CAD I/F, EASYPAG, QV 3DCAD online

Two-dimensional CAD drawings (DXF or IGES format) can be imported to QV Graphics. The measurement results can also be converted to CAD drawings. The design value of each measurement item will be automatically entered. Because the current position can be easily found using graphics, the stage can be quickly moved to an arbitrary position on a CAD drawing which results in improving operability during the measurement.

QVEio is a client application software for external control. It provides three functions: QVEio-PLC, QVEio-PC, and QVEio-Signal. QVEio-PLC is a software package that can inform a user of the state of an external execution command via a PLC. As an example, this can be used to control robots. QVEioPC allows control of the Quick Vision machine though an external PC connected via RS-232C, and it also exports results and error states. QVEio-Signal outputs the operating status of the Quick Vision machine. This is best suited for displaying the operating status to a signal tower.
