Vision Measuring Machine (VMM)

Vision Measuring Machine (VMM) – QualiVMM™ UltraVis Series

The Vision Measuring Machine (VMM) in the QualiVMM™ UltraVis Series is designed for ultra-precise automated dimensional inspection where tight tolerances and reliable measurement results are essential. The system features a moving-bridge architecture with four-axis CNC closed-loop control, supporting repeatable measurement performance across manufacturing environments and metrology laboratories. High-resolution imaging, motorized optics, and programmable lighting work together to provide stable edge detection and accurate feature capture.

The platform is built on a granite base and beam structure with an optimized mechanical design that helps maintain long-term measurement stability. The motion system integrates precision guide rails, a ground ball screw, and AC servo drive components, along with a 0.1 μm linear scale resolution that supports fine positioning feedback. The integrated iMeasuring software provides automated inspection routines, detailed reporting, and efficient quality control workflows for consistent measurement analysis.
