  • Vertical part mounting and 2 encoded motorized axes (rotation and vertical movement)
  • Includes VisionGauge® advanced software toolset and patented technology
  • Ultra-bright programmable illumination for crisp surface feature inspection
  • Applicable across a wide range of industries
  • Easy-to-use, robust, and shop floor ready

VisionGauge® 600 Series

The 600 Series VisionGauge® inspection and measurement system is designed first and foremost to inspect and measure turned and rotationally symmetrical parts, such as:

  • Screws,
  • Bolts,
  • Rivets,
  • Shafts,
  • Other turned or formed parts...

On the 600 Series VisionGauge® system, the part is mounted vertically and the system has two motorized encoded axes: one for part rotation and another for vertical movement (i.e. to move up and down the length of the part).

The system is used across a wide range of industries, including:

  • Medical Device manufacturing
  • Aerospace
  • Fastener industry
  • Automotive
  • Etc.

It has ultra-bright all-LED programmable and computer-controlled illumination, both transmitted (i.e. back illumination) to verify the part’s outline, and reflected (i.e. front illumination) to inspect and measure surface features.

It has a very high-resolution optical system, with a large depth-of-field and a long working distance and produces an optical accuracy better than +/-0.00015" (i.e. 4 μm). It produces very crisp and clear, high-contrast, high-resolution images.

600 Series Features

The 600 Series system has all of VisionGauge®’s advanced software capabilities, including:

1. CAD Auto-Align™: This patented groundbreaking tool automatically aligns a CAD overlay to a specific part, feature or datum(s) during inspection. Within seconds, it produces repeatable results without any operator supervision, drastically reducing inspection time and improving measurement accuracy.

2. CAD Auto-Pass/Fail™ technology: The CAD Auto-Pass/Fail™ tool automatically determines whether a part is within tolerance and measures the deviation from nominal in real time and with great accuracy.

3. Tooth Checker™: Designed to check parts with teeth, the patented Tooth Checker™ tool automatically locates the crests and roots in the inspected part's teeth or threads. It determines, to very high accuracy, if parts fall within their specified tolerance band.

4. VisionGauge® Thread Measurement Tools: VisionGauge®'s advanced thread inspection tools perform automatic measurements on a wide range of parts with threads (not just limited to screws!). These non-contact measurements ensure that the related geometric aspects defining the threads conform to their manufactured specifications.

screw threads measurements with VisionGauge®

The 600 Series VisionGauge® system contains the entire set of powerful VisionGauge® measurement tools. It can measure:

  • Roundness,
  • Runout,
  • Coaxiality,
  • Cylindricity,
  • Parallelism,
  • ...And much more!

Advantages of the 600 Series Inspection and Measurement System

Like all VisionGauge® systems, it can easily be interfaced to external equipment and machinery, such as an automated cell controller a collaborative robot for automated loading and unloading, for full “lights out” operation.

Measure turned parts with optical accuracy better than +/- 0.00015".

Compact desktop format.

The 600 Series VisionGauge® system is very robust and shop-floor-ready. With its intuitive Windows interface, it’s extremely easy to use.
