Looking for vision system

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!

  • I would recommend that you look into Micro-Vu. Been using a Micro-Vu "Matrix Video Measuring System" here for about 9 years. Quicker to program than our CMM, bur not quite as accurate. Able to import a DXF file and translate to inspection program. Work envelope on this machine is 24x18x12". Cost about 45K (1998). They do have smaller, manual ones available. Also service and support have been outstanding.
