Mitutoyo America Corp., a leader in precision measuring instruments, is excited to announce the Mitutoyo Quick Image (QI-C) Motorized Vision Measuring System with Metlogix M3 software. This latest enhancement follows M3 integration with manual QI systems in 2024, and the motorized stage on the QI-C promises faster, hands-free stitching and positioning along with precision and efficiency of non-contact measurements.
The integration of Metlogix M3 software transforms the Quick Image system, known for its superior accuracy and superior optics 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 Metlogix M3 software with Quick Image:
- Pattern-based measurements: The M3 software provides innovative pattern-based tools that simplify the measurement process, making it easy to automatically locate and measure parts. 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 brings unprecedented functionality by allowing video-based measurement 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 stitches multiple fields of view.
- 90mm working distance: 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.
