RS-232C cable (2 m)
12AAA807

In a measurement using the coordinate entry format, the coordinates calculated from the measurement data (coordinates of the center of a circle, etc.) are applied
to data entry as one measuring point. For example, measurement of the pitch of a rectangular hole can be executed simply by selecting the [PITCH MEASUREMENT]
key and [RECTANGULAR HOLE CENTER] in the coordinate entry format. Without calling up and re-calculating measurement result, [COORDINATE ENTRY FORMAT]
can use with pattern and basic measurements.

Center of circle(three points)
Use the center of the circle
whose 3 points have beenentered as a measuring
point.

Center of slotted hole
Use the center of the slottedhole as a measuring point.

Center of circle(four points)
Use the center of the circle
whose 4 points have beenentered as a measuring
point.

Use the intersection of the twostraight lines as a measuring
point.

Wide-field measurement
Upsizing of the image sensor has made the view approximately 40% wider
than previously in both the X and Y directions, thus allowing concurrent
observation of the whole extent of many more target areas than before.

System example

Note: An actual image using objective lens ML1X plus LED ring light

Improved measurement reproducibility and efficiency
The vision unit allows anyone to perform quicker and more repeatable detection of an edge with just one click, resulting in much better reproducibility of dimension
measurement among a group of operators. Also, using the vision unit eliminates the need for burdensome workpiece orientating and measuring-point detection
with cross-hairs, thus allowing quicker inspection of dimensions.

Useful Functions for Easy Execution and Editing of Auto-Measurement Procedure Program

Quick Navigation
The navigation function is combined with the teaching and repeat functions, by which a series of measurement procedures is memorized and reproduced.
This function guides the operator to the next measuring point, following the measurement procedure that has been memorized. Move the stage until the green
cross-hairs, seen at the center of the monitor screen, are superimposed on the red cross-hairs, which indicate the next measuring point, and only the green
cross-hairs remain. In this state the next measuring point will be displayed on the screen. As the digital counter approaches zero, the screen will display the next
measuring point. This eliminates the need to constantly look at the workpiece in order to check the measuring point, thereby freeing the operator to concentrateon the screen displays.

One-click easy execution function Program launcher
It is now possible to register an auto-measurement procedure program created with picturesand comments in an icon, and easily recall a required program. A total of 10 icons are available,
enabling the management of programs by each worker or workpiece.

Navigation Functions for Faster Measurement
Stage navigation
When indicating a point to measure in the graphics window with the mouse, the cross-hairs navigation appears. This helps to minimize unnecessary travel of the
X/Y stage, such as overrun or short-run. Combination of this function and CAD data* remarkably reduces the measurement program creation time. Furthermore,measurement results are displayed in the graphics window, allowing easy travel to the position you want to re-measure.

Graphics window

Icon editor

The real-time graphic display ofmeasurement result and element
provides a visual image of themeasuring point. Also, the graphic
display of measuring elements
facilitates the selection of a measuring
element, making for a quicker
measurement process. Inter-element
calculations can be performed by using
the graphics window.

Using the Icon Editor, the layout of icons suchas the measurement item icon, tool icon, etc.,
can be freely arranged. The layout setting canbe freely determined. For example, frequently
used icons can be laid out on just one page.

Video image scale display
Security function
The scope of use can be limited
according to the work level, by
setting a password when startingQSPAK.

The scale display, which is proportionate
to the real field of view, on the video
window lets the operator quickly grasp
the approximate size of a workpiece.
The image can be saved along with thescale display for size reference.

Saving image files

The color image on the video window
can be output as files in BMP-format and

Measurement results using the partprogram can be output as CSV-format
files. This means the measurement
result can be output to a commercial
spreadsheet program such as MS-Excel®,so that an inspection table can begenerated in the original format.

MeasurLink performs real-time statistical processing of measurement data from QM-Data200 and the image unit and displays the process capability and X-bar R
control chart. The statistical report and measurement data processed by MeasurLink can be easily output as Excel files.
MeasurLink allows the data integration and collective control of multiple measurement devices via expanded network system. If the administrative optional
software is used together then the real-time data in production sites, such as quality control, production technology and design can be confirmed, making early
detection of process irregularities possible.

An inspection report can be created by importing the measurement data from QM-Data200 and image unit, or the X/Y values from the counter. An originalformat can be created and used with simple editing (copy-and-paste) on an Excel file. No need for macros to make OK/NG judgments, and automatic statistical
calculations are possible.

Just Importing Data to MeasurLink Allows Immediate Confirmation of Each Statistical Report!
Xbar-R control chart and histogram are displayed in real-time for eachmeasurement item. A process manager can grasp time series data and data
variations at a glance.
The work instruction image navigation window can be set by combining
balloon displays of measurement items with workpiece image data (BMP,
JPG, DXF, etc.). Extensive support functions are provided for beginners.

OK/NG judgment results are displayed in red/yellow/green for easy
understanding by operators. Combined with the alarm message function,
this prevents NGs from being overlooked. The “Parts data sheet” lets you
grasp the evaluation of each workpiece at a glance even when measuring
many evaluation items by filtering the total judgment, NG data, and important
items.

Data input sheet

When inputting data, if NG is detected, the cell will turn red.
After filling data, the window moves onto inspection report
creation. Then, after selecting a destination Excel file, a macro
program is executed to create the report.

Specify a measurement data file from memory, thenselect a destination Excel-format file and execute thefile conversion. Excel launches and executes a macro
program to create a report.

With a sample format attached to the program
as a template for the Excel-format, an originalformat can be created by simple Excel editing(copy-and paste).
