Video Measurement System
CO-MM-XY

Click for Spec Sheet

Improve your quality control without hurting your bottom line.  Scienscope's    CO-MM-XY is an affordable, yet highly accurate measurement system. 

XY Table

Manual 6" x 8" XY table with 1 micron encoders (non-contact).  Internal and non-contact linear encoder allows placement of the measuring mechanism in closest possible proximity to the measuring area, minimizing measurement error.  The non-contact encoder creates absolutely no mechanical drag.  The internally mounted lead screw is equipped with a quick release nut for rapid gross movements.  A flip of the lever engages the fine pitch lead screw with self adjusting nut for positive positioning to the micron.  Specially designed knobs are provided on both ends of the screws for ease of use.  Recirculation  bearing linear guides provide highly reliable and smooth motion without the risk of bearing creep commonly found in crossed roller bearings.  The recirculation  linear guides are mounted internal to the stage to avoid contamination and are fitted with wipers to further prevent contamination and retain proper lubrication.

SOFTWARE

The
 AVM200 software is a PC-based dimensional measurement software that turns a conventional microscope into a powerful measurement station. The software uses the latest digital image processing technology to analyze video images for dimensional measurement. It then compares the measurement to nominal values and tolerances to identify conditions of non-conformance. The software can also be integrated to your application.

The software is for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP and Windows NT 4.0. It takes advantage of the latest operating systems and provides you a familiar, graphical environment to complete your measurement. The software can be easily linked to other Windows applications, such as spreadsheets and SPC packages. The AVM20 tolerance functions conform to ASME Y14.5M 1994.

The software is designed for image documentation, product inspection and quality control. The software provides a full range of functions for image capture, measurement, archival, image comparison, image and result output. The software is easy to use and it will deliver reliable and repeatable precision measurement results on the hardware of your choice.

Video Card

A video card is used to transfer the image to the PC monitor, where an accurate measurement can be achieved using the AVM20 Software.  The Video Card incorporates an on-board 3D accelerator and 8 MB of fast SGRAM. Its 128-bit memory interface is capable of running at speeds up to 125 MHz, allowing for display resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 85 Hz.
