Problems

QS-L solutions

Hard to measure reliably using
regular microscope lighting

Height measurement now available
from one machine
High-speed image auto focus achieving height measurement now
standard equipment. Measurements thus far performed separately
using an optical measuring instrument and an indicator are now
integrated into one machine.

Reliable small-parts measurement
High-speed 7x optical zoom with an interchangeable objective lensunit provides sharp and bright images. Measures details that cannot
even be recognized when using digital zoom.

Highlights hard-to-see edges
High-intensity 4-quadrant LED ring light generates shadows tohighlight edges that otherwise would be practically invisible.

Edge measurement using a combination ofco-axial light, ring light and transmitted lightSome edges cannot be accurately
detected and captured when using
only the ring light as edge heightand shape are so variable.

Generic technology realizes accurate measurement
7x optical zoom unit with interchangeable objective lenses offers reliable small-parts measurement

High-speed image auto focus enables highly accurate height measurement
Since non-contact measurement requires only the minimum clamping of the workpiece, heightmeasurement can be performed efficiently. Also, in contrast with laser-equipped measuring devices,height measurement is less influenced by the surface roughness of the workpiece.

Software enables easy operation and reliable measurement
QSPAKMany commands enable
fast measurement

Large screen makes detailed operations easy
All the functions needed for measurement are displayed on one screen; measurement can be
performed by simply moving the mouse. Large images enable users to measure details with ease.

A wide choice of commands including
various distance and intersection
point measurements enables easy andreliable measurement.

Remove influence from breakage and burrs by
excluding abnormal points

Template function
The template function making forms visible is featured for the first time.

Erroneous measurement points caused by dust adhering to a workpiece
including breakage and burrs are automatically removed. The removal
threshold can also be set easily.

Concentric circle template

User template

Form tolerance is also supported
The auto trace tool enables tracking and acquiring contours on thescreen by copying automatically.

OptionIn addition

The FORMTRACEPAK-AP optional analysis software canprovide advanced dimensional analysis.

Identifies desired measuring points quickly
Measuring points can be quickly found in the graphical window. Operations on measured elements using graphics can also be performed easily.

Eliminates confusion between results and points
Since measurement result images are displayed, confusing results that canoccur with just showing measuring points can be eliminated.

Detection tools matched to targets
Detection tools can be selected according to the measuring
point in order to capture edges with high accuracy.

User-friendly operation guidanceOne-click edge detection

When a command is selected, anexplanation of the corresponding
operation method is provided.

Circles, lines and dots around the measurement
point can be read out instantly with one-click of
the mouse.

Totalization of daily measurements can be easily performed

Option

CSV output of measurement results is available so that they can beused for statistical data processing with Excel.

Pattern tool
In addition

One-click line tool6

The optional MeasurLink software provides the statisticalprocess control (SPC) control charts, histograms andprocess capability indexes.
