Basic Vision Measuring Machine (VMM) – QualiVMM™ Basic 400 Series

Basic Vision Measuring Machine (VMM) – QualiVMM™ Basic 400 Series

Reliable dimensional inspection starts with a stable platform and precise optics. The QualiVMM™ Basic 400 Series is a granite-based manual video measuring machine designed for consistent 2D and 2.5D measurements on components up to 400 × 300 mm travel. Featuring a 6.5X zoom lens, high-resolution digital camera, and software-controlled illumination, it ensures sharp edge detection and accurate geometry verification for daily quality control tasks.

Basic Vision Measuring Machine (VMM) – QualiVMM™ Basic 400 Series Applications

Precision machined parts (2D geometry checks)

Measures lengths, diameters, radii, angles, and positions from captured edges for shop-floor QC and incoming inspection. The 0.5 µm axis resolution helps track small dimensional drift between lots.

Electronics and connector components

Supports fast visual measurement of small features, pads, slots, and outline dimensions where contact tools risk damage. Adjustable LED surface and contour lighting improves edge contrast on mixed finishes.

Injection-molded and stamped parts

Useful for comparing critical dimensions on parts that deform under contact force. The zoom lens and camera help reduce operator interpretation when checking burrs, flash lines, and profile boundaries.

2.5D measurements and height-related checks (optional upgrade)

With optional contact probe and 3D measurement software, the system can be upgraded toward contact-based 3D capability for features that need tactile measurement. Semi-automatic measurement is also available with an autofocus module option.

Standards

ISO 10360 Series (Coordinate Metrology Verification Framework)
The ISO 10360 standard provides a benchmark for acceptance and periodic verification of coordinate measuring systems, including video-based measurement platforms. Compliance ensures reliable dimensional accuracy and repeatable results.

Internal Calibration and Verification Practices (Recommended)
Use traceable artifacts such as gage blocks, step gages, or grid plates, and maintain a documented verification schedule in line with your quality system. Recording results supports audits and trend monitoring, complementing ISO-style verification methods for both CMM and imaging-based systems.

Basic Vision Measuring Machine (VMM) – QualiVMM™ Basic 400 Series Key Features

Granite Base and Column for Stable Measurements
The rigid granite platform ensures consistent results during routine QC inspections by minimizing vibration and maintaining stability.

Low Return Error Table Design
A polished rod with a quick-lock mechanism keeps table return errors minimal, supporting precise repeatable measurements.

High-Precision Optical Scale and Worktable
Engineered for accuracy, the optical scale and precision worktable deliver XY measurement performance up to ≤ 3 + L/200 µm.

Digital Imaging for Clear Edge Detection
The high-resolution camera and optics provide sharp, low-distortion images for reliable focus and accurate edge detection during inspections.

Software-Controlled LED Lighting
Adjustable zone-specific LED illumination improves edge contrast, ensuring consistent visibility across surfaces with varying finishes.

iMeasuring Software for Inspection and Reporting
The integrated software supports efficient measurement workflows, data capture, and reporting for quality control processes.

Upgrade Path to Probing, 3D, and Semi-Automatic Operation
Optional contact probes, 3D measurement software, and an autofocus module enable semi-automatic measurement and expand inspection capabilities.
