High-speed, high-accuracy benchtop video measuring system.
Designed to meet demanding manufacturing requirements with automated measurements of mechanical parts, electronic devices, dies & molds, and medical devices.
The iNEXIV VMA-2520 is a new multi-sensor measuring system that’s lightweight and compact enough to be used in the factory on the benchtop, with fast, fully automatic, and high accuracy features that make it ideally suited for a wide variety of industrial measuring, inspection, and quality control applications. The iNEXIV is designed to measure 3D workpieces, is touch probe ready, integrates the latest imaging processing software, and incorporates a new 10x optical zoom system and Laser Auto Focus option.
Applications
- Surface analysis, Surface examination, Manual examination,
- Plastic manufacturing, Metal manufacturing
- Implants/ Prostheses, Mobile phones, shavers & watches
- Micro-electronics, Opto-electronics
- Telecom & Electronics, Antennae, Telescope optics
Benefits & features
Easy and accurate measurements optimized for 3D parts
Nikon has drawn on its state-of-the-art digital technologies to produce a highly affordable automated measurement system. The iNEXIV VMA-2520’s design is optimized for easy use as well as a repeatable and accurate measurement of 3D parts.
Compact and lightweight
The iNEXIV VMA-2520 is a powerful bench-top system designed to use minimum factory floor space. The main body has a footprint of only 565 W x 690 D x 740mm H (computer and controller separate) and weighs only 72kg (158.7 lb), yet it still has a 250 x 200 x 200mm measuring capability.
Long working distance
The newly developed optical system features a super long 73.5mm working distance for all magnifications. This allows sufficient three-dimensional clearance for Z-axis measurements even at high magnification.
Powerful VMA AutoMeasure software
The auto-measure is Nikon’s powerful measuring software platform. It provides various functions to easily conduct tasks ranging from setup, teaching programs, and measurements, to evaluations.
High-speed, highly-accurate Laser AF (optional)
In addition to the standard Vision AF, an optional high-speed Laser AF with a long 63mm working distance is available. It provides fast focusing and Z-axis measurements regardless of the surface shape of your workpiece.
Touch probing measurement (Optional)
The iNEXIV VMA-2520 accepts the Renishaw TP20 or TP 200 Touch Probe system, making surface and side coordinate measurement of complicated 3D parts possible, in areas that vision sensing hardware could not be used.
Users can take full advantage of the multi-sensor capability when installing CMM-Manager on the iNEXIV system. The main features are collision-free CAD-based path definition, virtual path simulation, and accurate feature measurement for both tactile and vision probing.
