Why not choose a manual image measuring instrument?

Manual image measuring instruments are a type of measuring equipment that is gradually being phased out. Due to manual operation, uncontrollable errors, and the development of the instrument industry, manual instruments are not representatives of advanced productivity in the entire manufacturing industry.

This article introduces the shortcomings and overview of manual image measuring instruments. It is hoped that when enterprises choose testing equipment, they can make objective assessments based on their own measurement needs and make decisions that are truly beneficial to the enterprise. The

following three points make manual image measuring instruments gradually unable to adapt to the testing requirements of modern manufacturing:

the measurement results of manual image measuring instruments are highly random and have poor accuracy.

It does not mean that the accuracy of the manual image measuring instrument itself is problematic, but this is for specific products. In addition to the accuracy limitations of the manual image measuring instrument itself, the errors caused by human operation are an important source of its accuracy errors.

During measurement, manual image measuring instruments require a lot of manual participation: manual movement of the work platform, extraction of primitives based solely on human eye judgment without computer assistance, manual focusing, etc. Due to the low intelligence level of manual image measuring instruments, especially in terms of software functions, intelligent image scanning and calculation cannot be achieved, but manual extraction is dependent on human judgment: each person manually extracts according to their own human eye judgment, which causes the measurement results to vary from person to person and result in large errors; even when the same person is measured multiple times, large-scale measurement errors often occur.

The automatic image measuring instrument uses a more powerful computer algorithm to perform rigorous large-scale calculations on primitive edge extraction, image scanning, data analysis, etc., which can provide users with more automated and standardized operating steps and methods, avoiding human operation errors of manual image measuring instruments, and ensuring higher and more consistent measurement accuracy of automatic image measuring instruments. The

manual image measuring instrument has low efficiency and huge hidden costs .

Leaving aside the loss of precision errors caused by manual image measuring instruments, the following specific data is used to analyze the cost losses caused by measurement efficiency to enterprises.

On the surface, manual image measuring instruments are cheap and low-cost, while automatic image measuring instruments are expensive, and price has become a reason for enterprises to choose manual. However, when the comprehensive investment costs of manual and automatic instruments are understood, perhaps enterprises can calculate this account based on their own situation.

On average, the measurement efficiency of automatic image measuring instruments is 10-50 times that of manual instruments, and the measurement efficiency is higher in industries such as PCB and LCD. When measuring the same workpiece, if automatic measurement requires 1 unit of time, manual measurement requires 10-50 units of time, and manual image measuring instruments will consume 9-49 times more unit time. If an inspector takes an average of 1 minute to inspect a workpiece every day, based on 260 working days a year, it will consume 12,740 minutes more a year, or 212 hours and 26.5 days, which is equivalent to more than one month of working days (in actual situations, companies may inspect more than one workpiece a day). In more than a month, for a rapidly changing market environment, companies may have missed an excellent opportunity to compete.

The after-sales service of manual image measuring instruments is poor.

The after-sales service of manual image measuring instruments is poor, which is the current status of the manual instrument market. Since it is a low-end product, manufacturers and dealers mainly rely on sales volume to survive and have no energy to provide after-sales service. Basically, they repair the machine when it breaks down. Once a manual image measuring instrument fails, it is relatively difficult to repair, and the accuracy is not guaranteed during use.

Automatic image measuring instruments focus on brand building and have perfect after-sales service. Tianjue Company responds to customers' repair issues within 1 working day and proposes solutions. If on-site solutions are required, we will arrive at the site within 3 working days. During the one-year warranty period, free maintenance is provided once a quarter. Prevent customer problems before they occur, and truly ensure that the accuracy of the machine used by the customer is within the factory accuracy range, ensuring the safety of customer shipments. Under such a maintenance strategy, the probability of hardware wear and repair will be greatly reduced, which also saves costs for customers. (end)
