About Our 300 Series Optical Comparator
The 300 Series VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator is a Field-of-View system that is ideal for measuring parts up to 5.5″ x 3.3″ in size. This versatile device also features an extended depth-of-field to accommodate tall parts as high as 4″, as well as a long working distance to provide users with ample clearance and room to work between the part and the lens.
This small parts digital optical comparator produces a high-resolution image for fine and detailed inspections. It has three different types of LED illumination as standard features — a collimated back, front on-axis or “bright field,” and front off-axis or “dark field.” The cutting-edge lighting system produces crisp images and delivers excellent results even when working with hard-to-image materials and tricky shapes. The high-resolution precision optics are ideal for parts with translucent and reflective surfaces, as well as those with complex geometry and deep holes.
Like other VisionGauge® systems, the 300 Series is designed with capabilities that run on Windows-based solutions. This machine is delivered network-ready to minimize downtime and ensure you’ll be up and running from day one. Our team will also provide NIST-traceable calibration to certify the equipment meets industry standards. We complete the service with an on-site installation and training in device operation.
Features of the 300 Series Small Parts Inspection System
This 300 Series VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator has a functionality similar to the 500 Series instrument. The primary differences between these two high-performing devices is that the 300 Series caters to smaller parts and does not include a moveable stage. Built with a convenient desktop configuration, this device features an intuitive operation interface that makes it easy to learn and operate. The small footprint makes it suitable for use in the quality control lab and shop floor. Other innovative features include:
- Patented CAD Auto-Align™ and CAD Auto-Pass/Fail™ technology for efficient comparison within seconds
- Patent-pending Tooth Checker™ tool for locating crest and root location
- Real-time computation and display of out-of-tolerance areas and deviations from nominal
- Operator-independent functionality
- All-purpose mounting hole pattern for flexible part fixturing
- Extremely fast and easy to set up and use
- No operator-to-operator variation
- No overlays, templates, or Mylars™ necessary
- Fully automated measurements
- Joystick and barcode reader capability
- Accurate to +/- 0.0001″ (2.5 μ)
- Ultra-high-resolution precision optics
- Automatic image and data collection
- Built-in Statistical Process Control
- No moving and consumable parts
and produce very accurate, operator-independent results
