SmartScope Vantage 650


Smartscope Vantage 650 multi-sensor co-ordinate measuring machine
SmartScope® Vantage™ systems are high accuracy, multi-sensor measuring machines with the functionality to combine Video, Touch, Laser, White Light and Feather probes. Vantage™ machines are ideal for applications where the ultimate need is for accuracy.

Vantage™ has unique features such as the innovative TeleStar® optics which have been specially designed for high accuracy metrology.

TeleStar® is a fully Telecentric, continuously variable, 10:1 AccuCentric® zoom lens that auto-calibrates at every magnification change to maintain precise optical accuracy.

Integrated illumination technology includes programmable sub-stage profile lighting where electronically controlled irises synchronise light to magnification. Co-axial through the lens surface and patented white LED SmartRing™ light provide illumination for most applications.

Operation is sequenced via MeasureMind 3D™ which is an intuitive, fully featured three dimensional multi-sensor metrology software.

SmartScope Vantage Functionality

During measurement, operators simply select the items to be measured, optimise the video and the SmartScope® will automatically detect the feature’s size, position and form. Tolerance information can be added and used in conjunction with the measured data to produce an inspection report which can be printed or stored in digital format. In addition the collected data can be used for Statistical Process Control (SPC)

Inspection sequences are recorded ‘on the fly’ to create fully automatic routines that control inspection steps, magnification and lighting to ensure that subsequent components are measured accurately, repeatably and without subjectivity.

Component images can easily be collected and stored at varying degrees of magnification and in a variety of formats for visual defect analysis.

Multi-Sensor Metrology

Optional probes can be added to the Vantage™ to provide fully integrated multi-sensor capability. Each sensor can be called as required and used in the same inspection routine without the need for manual intervention. This functionality delivers an amazing amount of flexibility, ensuring most inspection tasks can be easily performed in just one setup.
