Semi Automatic Vision Measuring Machine (VMM)

Semi Automatic Vision Measuring Machine (VMM) – QualiVMM™ Semi 300 Series Applications

• Production QC for machined parts
  • Measures profiles, hole locations, radii, chamfers, and feature-to-feature distances with reduced operator focus variation. Auto focusing helps keep results steady when multiple inspectors share the same station.
• Stamping and laser-cut component inspection
  • Supports fast outline and pattern verification for flat parts, especially when lighting control is needed to define edges on reflective surfaces. Multi-zone surface lighting plus contour lighting helps improve edge visibility.
• Plastic and molded component checks
  • Helps verify openings, slots, ribs, and small geometry without applying contact force that can deform softer materials. Autofocus also reduces time spent adjusting focus on parts with height variation.
• Electronics and precision hardware
  • Useful for connectors, small fixtures, and precision assemblies where clean imaging and repeatable focus support consistent measurement routines. Optical zoom supports both overview checks and feature-level inspection.
• Upgrading to touch-probe measurements
  • When vision alone is not enough, optional contact probe and 3D measurement software can upgrade the system toward contact-based 3D measurement tasks.

Standards

• ISO 10360-7 (acceptance and reverification tests for Cartesian CMMs using imaging probing systems) supports performance testing concepts for vision-based measurement systems.
• ISO 14253-1 (decision rules for proving conformity or nonconformity) helps define how to make pass or fail decisions when measurement uncertainty matters.
• ISO 14978 (general concepts and requirements for GPS measuring equipment) is often used as a metrology framework for measuring equipment requirements and calibration thinking.
• ASME B89.4.1 (methods for performance evaluation of coordinate measuring machines) is a widely recognized US reference for CMM performance evaluation concepts.
