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!

  • Bruce, I consider the Micro-Vu software to be some of the easiest to learn. After you set your alignment, or your part co-ordinate system, the software defaults to a 'self teach" mode and basically mimics every move the operator makes. And you can still translate, offset, mirror, rotate,ect. features if you want. Pretty darn simple and alot quicker than our CMM, mainly because of no clearance moves necessary. We helped Micro-vu demo this machine twice and that resulted in two new sales.
