Thorlabs' VideoMic^® video measuring systems provide high-speed, non-contact 3-axis coordinate measurement with industry-leading accuracy. These multisensor measuring machines can easily verify critical dimensions on first articles, production samples, or entire runs. Automated inspection protocols utilize the system's large field of view and high-resolution sensors to easily inspect large volumes of parts sequentially or simultaneously. With tolerance reports and export utilities, thresholds can be set to enable timely corrections to a production process or, when necessary, interruption of production to minimize scrap. With over 1000 systems installed worldwide, each system has a long lifetime, is completely modular, and can easily scale with the demands of any quality assurance or production facility.

Seven base systems are available, each utilizing a granite, split-axis base and gantry; see the Base Systems tab for details. Item numbers beginning with VSA utilize balanced linear motors with air bearings to position each axis of travel, while item numbers beginning with VSM utilize servo-driven ground-ball-screws to position each axis of travel. Each of the three motor axes and associated encoders are bonded directly onto the granite to create a system that is extremely accurate, stable, and resistant to environmental factors.

Once a base system is selected, Thorlabs offers a wide selection of CCD cameras, zoom lenses, and lights to customize the video system to the demands of the application. For further details, see the Video Configurations tab above. A number of optional accessories are also available to increase the versatility and functionality of the system. These include Renishaw^®b tactile probes; laser sensors; a hinged, pneumatic glass platen; a touch screen monitor; statistical process control software; and import/export utilities. See the Accessories tab for additional details about these options.
