400 Series Desktop Optical Comparator
The 400 Series VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator is a state-of-the-art inspection and measurement device. This desktop optical comparator is suitable for low-throughput applications.
The optical inspection system is designed with vertical and horizontal configurations and features manual stage movement across three axes for operator-driven reliability. Despite its compact size, this high-performing device offers high resolution, precision optics, and computer-controlled, ultra-bright LED illumination for sharp and clear images. It comes with a single high-resolution monitor that allows a full view of the entire image.
The 400 Series is a cost-effective inspection and measurement system with a complete set of features. It's equipped with all the advanced and patented software capabilities VisionGauge® systems, including:
- CAD Auto-Align™: This patented groundbreaking tool automatically aligns a CAD overlay to a specific part during inspection. Within seconds, it can produce repeatable results even without operator supervision, drastically reducing inspection time and improving measurement accuracy.
- CAD Auto-Pass/Fail™ technology: The CAD Auto-Pass/Fail™ tech automatically determines whether a part is within tolerance or deviates from nominal in real time and with great accuracy.
- Tooth Checker™: Designed to check parts with teeth, the patent-pending Tooth Checker™ tool automatically locates the crests and roots in the inspected part's teeth or threads. It helps determine if the parts fall within their specified tolerance band. This tool also works for parts larger than the field of view and can be used in manual and fully automated modes.
Advantages of Our Desktop Inspection and Measurement System
This desktop optical comparator is a versatile machine equipped with automatic data collection technology. It can obtain images, gather data, and generate reports without operator-to-operator variation. It's a convenient tool offering advantages over traditional comparators. These advantages include:
- Small footprint: This device features a compact tabletop structure that can accommodate a variety of parts and fixtures. Its space-saving design makes it ideal for inspections conducted within the shop floor or manufacturing facility.
- User-friendly interface: The device is built with an intuitive operator interface that ensures accurate results while remaining easy to set up and use.
- Flexibility: Single magnification and precision optics, combined with the extended depth of field, allow a long working distance for maximum flexibility.
- Convenience: This device's built-in statistical process control and data exchange capabilities make reporting results easy and convenient. It automatically prepares reports on all collected images, measurements, and statistics for thorough documentation.
