Mitutoyo America Corporation, has announced the integration of the powerful Metlogix M3 software into the Mitutoyo Quick Image (QI) 2D Vision Measuring System. This latest enhancement promises to elevate the precision and efficiency of non-contact measurements, further solidifying Mitutoyo’s commitment to providing innovative technology solutions to meet modern quality control needs.
The integration of Metlogix M3 software transforms the Quick Image system, known for its accuracy and ease of use, into an even more robust tool for non-contact measurements. The M3 software introduces a highly intuitive, icon-driven interface designed for simplicity and speed.
Key features of the Metlogix M3 software with Quick Image:
- Pattern-based measurements: The M3 software provides pattern-based tools that simplify the measurement process, making it easy to measure multiple points in a single action. This dramatically reduces setup time and increases productivity.
- Advanced video probes: The software’s advanced video edge detection tools, such as EyeMeasure and MeasureLogic, enable fast, accurate edge and feature capture. The VTouch probe allows video-based touch probing for quick acquisition of individual points.
- Field of View measurement: Metlogix’s powerful Field of View (FOV) functionality automates part measurements by simply placing multiple parts in the camera’s view. The system detects, measures, and displays results without the need for operator intervention, streamlining the inspection process.
- SuperImage stitching: For larger workpieces up to 400mm, the Quick Image system utilizes an ultra-long 90mm working distance to capture and stitch multiple frames into a single image with Metlogix’s SuperImage feature. This function enhances accuracy and clarity over larger areas while allowing flexible, soft fixture setups for repeated measurements.
With the enhanced capabilities of the M3 software, the Quick Image system can support a wide range of workpiece sizes, measuring up to 400mm with its stage stitching function. This ensures that manufacturers can measure larger components with precision and efficiency.
