Top precision November 1st 2005 Baty International's new VµMaster is a manual 2D vision system with a massive difference. Due to a newly patented scale system, the VµMaster does not have a conventional stage or encoders, just a floating measuring camera that is able to move anywhere in the measuring range. The position of the measuring camera is cleverly determined by a second camera moving in unison and reading the patented X, Y scale.
This enables the VµMaster to offer high accuracy measurement (error >7.5µ) anywhere in the 400 by 300mm X, Y measuring range without the need for conventional high precision (high cost) mechanics. More articles from Baty International: |
