Press Release: New Compact 500 Series VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator – Complete Inspection & Measurement in a Small Footprint (July 2025)

Read our new press release “The New Compact 500 Series VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator – Complete Inspection & Measurement in a Small Footprint“.

Compact 500 Series Optical Comaprator

The new Compact configuration of the 500 Series VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator was developed for applications requiring full inspection functionality but where floorspace is very restricted.

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.

Along with its very compact footprint, some of the system’s big advantages include the availability of VisionGauge®’s:

  • i) very high-resolution multi-magnification optics
  • ii) wide range of illumination options, to tackle even the most challenging applications and
  • iii) LASER module for Z-axis / depth & height measurements.
