Automatic Image Optical Measuring Machine

Automatic Image Optical Measuring Machine Solutions for Manufacturers

These non-contact systems perform fast dimensional inspection of precision parts made from plastics, rubber, metals, and packaging materials. Built by an ISO9001-certified manufacturer with 17+ years of R&D and in-house CNC capability, they deliver consistent accuracy, high throughput, and traceable results for QC, first article checks, and process control.

Key Advantages and Capabilities

Designs are backed by utility model patents and participation in national standard drafting. Dedicated R&D and calibration labs support verification and periodic calibration. OEM customization, professional installation and training, and long-term service simplify deployment, while global distributor support provides responsive assistance.

What It Measures and Where It Fits

Measure dimensions, profiles, hole diameters, pitches, heights, angles, flatness, and concentricity. Ideal for small to medium components, stamped or molded parts, electrical connectors, medical disposables, and packaging features. Compared with manual gauges and projectors, automated image inspection speeds complex checks, reduces operator variation, and shortens cycles.

Features and Technology

Optics and Imaging

High-resolution cameras, telecentric lenses, and engineered LED lighting (coaxial, ring, backlight) produce crisp edges and stable contrast. One-click capture acquires multiple features within the field of view, minimizing operator influence and increasing throughput.

Motion and Structure

Granite bases, precision linear guides, and high-accuracy scales provide rigidity with low thermal drift. Optional tilt/rotation stages and autofocus handle complex orientations; servo drives maintain smooth motion and repeatability across the travel.

Software and Reporting

Intuitive software automates edge detection, pattern matching, GD&T, and tolerance analysis. Built-in SPC, CAD import/export, and MES/barcode integration support traceability and in-line data collection.

Models and Specifications

2D Series

Designed for flat parts and high-throughput 2D inspection, with multiple field-of-view and camera options plus XY travel choices. Sub-pixel edge detection supports micron-level accuracy and repeatability, ideal for connectors, gaskets, film features, and stamped parts.

3D/5-Axis Series

Adds tilt/rotation and optional touch probe or laser profiler to capture surface height and features beyond 2D. Suited to precision machined components, medical devices, and small assemblies requiring multi-angle measurement.

One-Click/Instant Series

Focused on speed: measure many features in a single capture with short cycle times and simple operation for shop-floor verification of small parts. Often referred to as a one-click video measuring machine.

Customization and Integration

We tailor optics, travel, fixtures, lighting profiles, and workflows to your parts and standards. Integration with barcode scanners, printers, and shop-floor networks enables closed-loop control and streamlined traceability.

How to Choose

Define part envelope, tolerances, feature types, cycle time, and reporting needs. Match resolution to the smallest feature and select optics for the required field of view; choose stage travel to fit your largest part. Consider multi-axis options for angled features and confirm software support for GD&T, SPC, and CAD.

Applications by Industry and Material

• Polymers/plastics: molded parts, film features, caps, connectors, medical disposables


• Rubber: seals, O-rings, gaskets, elastomer profiles


• Metals: small machined parts, pressings, precision fasteners


• Packaging: die-cut patterns, carton cut-outs, labels, perforations

Compatible Testing Solutions

For complete quality control, pair optical inspection with tensile testers, impact testers (Charpy/Izod), HDT/Vicat, DSC/TGA, coefficient of friction testers, carton compression, and environmental chambers (temperature/humidity, thermal shock, UV/Xenon aging, salt spray).

Terminology and Related Names

Also known as an automatic vision measuring system, digital optical comparator, fully automatic image measuring instrument, or dimensional optical profile measuring instrument.

FAQs

Q: What accuracy can these systems achieve?
A: Accuracy depends on field of view, optics, and stage travel. Models with telecentric optics and small FOVs can reach micron-level accuracy; your parts and tolerances determine the optimal setup.

Q: How often should the machine be calibrated?
A: We recommend a periodic schedule based on usage and environment. Our calibration lab and on-site services help maintain traceable performance.

Q: Can the system connect to my MES or ERP?
A: Yes. Software supports barcode input and optional MES integration for automated data collection and reporting.
