400 Series Desktop Optical Comparator
The 400 Series VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator is a state-of-the-art inspection and measurement system. It's a compact desktop optical comparator that still provides a large working envelope. This system by VISIONx, Inc. is especially well suited for lower volume applications.
These optical inspection systems offer operator-driven, manual stage movement across 3 axes and are available in both horizontal and vertical configurations. Despite it being a small optical comparator, the system is performance-oriented with high-resolution, precision optics and ultra-bright LED computer-controlled illumination for sharp and clear images. A single high-resolution monitor is provided to see the entire image at once, with a secondary monitor as an option.
The 400 Series is a very cost-effective, full-featured inspection and measurement system that has all of the advanced, patented VisionGauge® software capabilities, including CAD Auto-Align™ and CAD Auto-Pass/Fail™ software tools, and our patent-pending Tooth Checker™ tool for fast, accurate, and operator-independent Part-to-CAD comparison. Compare parts to their CAD file beyond the optical field-of-view, across the entire stage travel! Results are easy to report with automatic image & data collection and built-in SPC and data-exchange capabilities.
An optional laser module enhances height/depth measurement capabilities in the Z axis, and additional customizations for our table top optical comparators are also available to solve your application.

What Are Optical Inspection Systems?
An optical inspection system is a machine/device that uses visual methods to check manufactured parts/items against their designed product specifications. It may employ a number of different inspection techniques to obtain data about surface defects and dimensional defects, perform measurements, perform absence/presence detection, and much more.
VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparators / Profile Projectors replace older, traditional optical comparators. Dated machines have less accurate and less efficient technology, and traditional optical inspection equipment may require multiple overlays and mylars to compare parts. Using a part's CAD file directly eliminates the need for other tools. VisionGauge®'s advanced software and patented tools can easily solve a vast array of applications with greater accuracy and efficiency. The best model for each industry depends on specific requirements of your application.
