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!

  • Bruce,

    What are you accuracy requirements.

    Make sure that you include a test of the systems ability to perform within those parameters first, then choose software from that short list. Dont start with software first.... easy to use doesnt mean accurate.

    All vision systems are NOT built a like. It goes beyond the mechanics of the stage also. How do they handle Zoom lens Calibration, How do they handle field of view calibration, what are the specs on par-focal. If you plan to measure 3D parts, what are the squareness(ZX and YZ) specs and how do they verify it(Ask for specifics). There currently is no standard for Vision systems that anyone adheres to. Every manufacturer does their own thing.
