Looking for vision system

Bruce
I have used PC-DMIS in the past,but the company I work for now doesn't want to be reliant on one person to run the machine.We have a PFX 4-5-4 right now and are currently looking to sell it.We have had a few demos of vision system equipment,but so far nothing has done quite what were looking for.
We are a small but forward looking medical equipment supplier. I think the ideal working range would be 12-15" in the X-axis,8-10"in the Y-axis and 5-8"in the Z-axis.
I took a quick look at the Mitutoyo page but most of there systems won't cover the range.We would like the system to be usable with minimun training.We have 3 inspectors with varying skill levels.
What are some of the systems and manufacturers of vision systems you might recommend?
I was thinking a manual system would probably be best,since we are on somewhat of a limited budget. Thanks!

  • When accuracy is a MUST, computer contol is the best. Not sure if that would hold true with a vision system, but it does in every other way that I can think of, CMM, Mills, lathes, etc. I doubt that DCC would run too much more than manual. I would say that if the extra cost of DCC was 20% or less than the cost of just the manual, then you should REALLY push for DCC. It will pay for itself easily. If you are running any kind of 'production' (ie NOT one-of-a-kind), then the DCC will pay for itself VERY quickly.
