Compact 500 Series Digital Optical Comparators New Compact 500 Series VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator

The Compact 500 Series systems are designed to inspect & measure parts with the full VisionGauge® toolset when floorspace is restricted.

  • High-accuracy inspection & measurement of parts in a reduced 16” x 24” footprint for applications with restricted floorspace
  • Demonstrated accuracy down to +/-0.0001"
  • Able to be used directly on the shop floor
  • Includes VisionGauge® patented CAD Auto-Align™ and CAD Auto-Pass/Fail™ tools for fully automated part-to-CAD comparison and patented Tooth Checker™ tool for checking parts with teeth
  • Works directly with CAD data without physical overlays or templates
  • Includes motorized X and Y axes with 4" x 4" travel, and motorized Z axis with Autofocus
  • Eliminates operator-to-operator variation
  • Sharp edges on high-resolution, high-contrast images to make fine details stand out
  • Creates automated inspection reports and collects complete device history

Compact Digital Optical Comparator with Complete Automated Inspection Capabilities

The new Compact configuration of the 500 Series VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator is the perfect solution to allow manufacturers faced with space-constrained applications to inspect and measure the parts they produce quickly, easily, and with no operator-to-operator variation. This compact system provides the full VisionGauge® functionality in a very small 16” x 24” footprint.

This floor-standing system has a motorized XY stage with 4” x 4” travel and 0.25-micron encoders, as well as a motorized Z axis with Autofocus.

The New Compact 500 Series VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator is a smaller footprint version of the standard 500 Series system already used by manufacturers across a wide range of industries to carry out the high-accuracy inspection & measurement of the parts they manufacture.

  • Designed for high-accuracy inspection & measurement of parts in a reduced 16” x 24” footprint for applications with restricted floorspace
  • Produces demonstrated accuracy down to +/-0.0001"
  • Able to be used directly on the shop floor
  • The standard 500 Series VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator features are available in the compact footprint, including:
    • Very high-resolution multi-magnification optics
    • Wide range of illumination options for even the most challenging applications
    • LASER module for Z-axis / depth & height measurements
  • Includes LED illumination for stable & programmable illumination producing extremely repeatable results, low heat, low power consumption, and no bulbs to change.
  • Extremely easy to use software interface and little to no programming required
  • Collects full inspection & measurement data and automatically creates reports including images & results with the CAD overlay and the deviations from nominal, measurements, statistics, etc...
  • Quick and easy annual calibration procedure

The new Compact configuration of the 500 Series was developed specifically for applications requiring the full functionality and versatility of the VisionGauge® 500 Series Digital Optical Comparator but with a reduced footprint.

  • The system has a 16” x 24” footprint so that it can fit even in the tightest areas
  • This floor-standing system has a motorized XY stage with 4” x 4” travel and 0.25-micron encoders and a motorized Z axis with Autofocus
  • Supports the full functionality of the VisionGauge® 500 Series systems, including multiple magnifications, program automation for multiple parts, many illumination options, optional Laser module for Z-axis measurements, optional rotary stage, etc.
  • Includes VisionGauge®'s advanced measurement and inspection toolset to carry out fully-automated measurements, including all of its proprietary software tools for direct CAD-to-Part comparison
  • Programmable and computer-controlled illumination
  • Z axis Auto-Focus presents crisp edges on parts for very accurate measurements
  • Automated image/data collection and a multiple reporting and data exchange features

Fully Automated Inspection and Measurement for Tight Floorspaces

The new Compact 500 Series VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator is the perfect solution for space-limited applications. It provides full functionality for smaller parts in a significantly reduced 16” x 24” footprint.
