Automated metrology & force measurement inspection solutions

Video-based measurement systems combine high-resolution images, powerful intuitive software, and precision mechanical platforms to deliver accurate, repeatable measurement results. Automatic edge detection or video edge detection removes operator subjectivity in locating edges of parts being measured, enabling go/no-go comparisons to an engineering design, with no need for Mylar overlays. This increases measurement throughput while eliminating operator subjectivity.

Pattern recognition and automated inspection is available on several metrology systems including:

• AVR300 Multi-Sensor Vision System, featuring a large field of view (FOV); for repetitive measurements and automatic comparison to CAD files
• HDV Horizontal Digital Video Comparator, combines the best features of vision and optical comparator technology
• HD400 Horizontal Dual Lens Comparator offers a two-lens mount, enabling instant switching between two magnification lenses or video camera adapter

The manufacturer also offers force testing systems, highlighting the flexible architecture enabling the range of force and material testing software programs to be compatible with its different test frames. As an example, the FMS Series test frame can measure the force to draw fluid in and out of a syringe. This application uses Starrett L2Plus software to capture peak and average load.

DFC series Digital Handheld Force Gages may be used as an advanced digital force gage and controller with Starrett FMM Force Testers and can serve as a universal interface where the user tests and can configure load limits, distance limits, break limits, crosshead travel direction, crosshead speed, and more.
