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!

  • Well so far we had a starlight demo and later this week (Thursday) we're having Micro-Vu come in and do a demo of there 12x12x6 Vertex vision system.I thought I saw somewhere on this forum that in popularity its Mitutoyo,OGP and then Micro-Vu. Haven't been able to find much about the Mitutoyo and the OGP software seems to be in question,so the Micro-Vu seems to be the way to go.The 12x12x6 goes for around $35,000.
    I have used one of there manual machines for about 10 years and it worked great.This seems to be quite a step up.Almost like a small CMM without the learning curve.
    One of my fellow inspectors was a bit worried when he heard the word programmed,but I tried to tell him it wasn't anything like a PC-DMIS equipped CMM.
    So what do you guys think of how easy they are to use and the machine itself?
