A video measurement machine is mainly composed of light source system, optical zoom lens, industrial CCD camera control system, measuring software system and precision mechanical platform. The quality of each component and the compatibility of the components affect the accuracy and stability of the video measurement machine.
When selecting video measurement system, be sure to check the detailed information, parameters, video and pictures of the video measurement machine. It will be more conducive to determine the advantages and disadvantages of a video measurement machine.
So, what should we pay attention to when selecting a video measurement system? I’m going to explain it to you all.
First of all, the use and the classification of video measurement machine shall be understood (Please check out my previous post). We all know that it is mainly used for product development, quality inspection, size measurement, etc. But there are many kinds of classification. And video measurement systems with different travel are often used in different industries.
Secondly, when selecting this kind of instrument, the usage shall be considered. We shall check each type of instrument whether meets the measurement requirements you need, and whether the instrument is stable. There are many types of measurement products for different cases. According to the operation mode, it can be divided into manual video measurement system, automatic video measurement system and samrt flash video measurement system.
- For occasional use, a manual video measurement system can be selected.
- For product variety and frequent use, a fully automatic video measurement system can be selected.
- For less product variety and large quantity, a smart flash video measurement system can be selected.
Select the right video measurement system will save your a lot of time and money.
Furthermore, the travel of X, Y, Z axis should be applied. The X, Y, Z axis travel is mainly related to the measured parts. Considering from the measured product size, the X, Y, Z axis travel cannot be too large or too small, so that it can meet the parts measurement without causing cost waste.
- Small travel video measurement systems are suitable for the measurement of watch parts, electronic connectors, metal stamping parts, circuit boards and other smaller parts.
- large travel video measurement systems are generally used for quality measurement of large and ultra-large parts, such as large sheet metal parts, plastic parts, TFT, etc. Of course, large travel video measurement systems can also measure small parts.
Finally, precision also applies. In some industries, the requirements for instrument accuracy are not so high, and a certain tolerance range is allowed. Some industries have higher requirements for precision, such as: semiconductor, aerospace, military, and so on. So, this aspect also needs to be considered by users.
All in all, when selecting a video measurement system, the right one is the best one. it is not necessary to select the one with large travel and expensive!
