Height measurement now available from one machine
High-speed image auto focus achieving height measurement now standard equipment. Measurements thus far performed separately using an optical measuring instrument and an indicator are now integrated into one machine.
Reliable small-parts measurement
High-speed 7X optical zoom with an interchangeable objective lens unit provides sharp and bright images. Measures details that cannot even be recognized when using digital zoom.
Highlights hard-to-see edges
High-intensity 4-quadrant LED ring light generates shadows to highlight edges that otherwise would be practically invisible.
| Problems | QS-L solutions |
|
Hard to measure reliably using regular microscope lighting Some edges cannot be accurately detected and captured when using only the ring light as edge height and shape are so variable.
Indistinct image using ring light |
Edge measurement using a combination of co-axial light, ring light and transmitted light
|
|
Cannot measure micro dimensions due to low magnification Some micro forms cannot be measured with only a digital zoom.
|
7X optical zoom unit with interchangeable objective lenses enables measuring small parts
Edge capture with the ideal magnification is always available
Measurement of micro radii is easy with the correct magnification |
|
Edge measurement of a stepped feature cannot be performed correctly Some desired edge contrast cannot be obtained with a simple dimension measuring device that has generally low magnification due to deep focus depth
|
Edges can easily be captured with the interchangeable objective lens zoom unit
|
|
Height measurement results are not stable Height measurement with a contact probe
|
Image auto focus function is equipped as standard Image auto focus offers sure and highly accurate measurement of target height with the minimum clamping of a workpiece
|
|
Unsure about the integrity of measurement results to be submitted to customers

7X optical zoom unit with interchangeable objective lenses offers reliable small-parts measurement
Newly designed 7X optical zoom unit with interchangeable objective lenses securely captures measurement targets from wide-field to micro form. In addition, 4X digital zoom is available using software.

High-speed image auto focus enables highly accurate height measurement
Since non-contact measurement requires only the minimum clamping of the workpiece, height measurement can be performed efficiently. Also, in contrast with laser-equipped measuring devices, height measurement is less influenced by the surface roughness of the workpiece.

LED light unit offers a high degree of freedom for reliable edge measurement
The view may vary depending on the type of method used for lighting the workpiece. The QS-L can capture edges accurately by switching between transmitted lighting, co-axial lighting and ring lighting.
