Video Inspection and Measurement System
The VideoMic VSA split-axis series provides rapid, non-contact 3-axis coordinate measurement with increased accuracy. This capability allows the user to verify critical dimensions on first articles, production samples, or entire runs. With toleranced reporting, thresholds can be set to enable timely corrections to the process or, when necessary, interruption of production to minimize scrap.
Balanced Linear Motors position the stage accurately, quietly, and quickly. High magnification optics relay the image to a high resolution CCD camera and from there to the frame grabber where our sub-pixeling algorithm permits sub-micron measurements.
A magnified view of the feature being measured is displayed on the screen and can be stored with all relevant data or printed on the optional color printer. Once measured, the feature coordinates can be stored, analyzed, and/or exported to other software programs for further in-depth analysis.

VideoMic VSA - Features at a Glance
Advanced metrology software provides a high degree of programming flexibility.
Enhanced video edge detection (VED) for selective feature measurement.
System has versatile VED tools such as Linewidth, Circle, Center-of-Mass, and Buffer that speed the measuring process.
Transports are driven by sophisticated, no maintenance, balanced linear motors which are close-looped to precision scales in all
three axes.
X (camera) and Y (product) transports operate independently and are completely supported by friction-free air bearings.
The Microsoft Windows environment is used with on-line help to ease training.
Network capability is standard. Electronic file or printout of dimensional data, as well as images, is available.
The system reports position and size of features, allowing optimization of the user's fabrication process.
Tolerancing to Cartesian, as well as True Position, LMC, and MMC is provided.
Programs can be automatically created from CAD data or by recording steps while manually measuring a part.
Large LCD color monitor for display of metrology data and video image.
Adjustable ergonomic workstation including a compact control panel and standard keyboard maximizes operator performance.
Massive granite base, bridge and bearing "ways" for superior machine stability.
High-resolution color camera provides brilliant video image.
Closed-Loop Z-axis permits Z-axis measurement and auto-focusing as well as precision Trackball focusing.
The high-speed multitasking processor permits rapid feature detection and high speed transport control.
