How to accurately measure the outer contour dimensions of products: comprehensive application of imagers, three-coordinate measuring instruments, and flash measuring instruments

In modern manufacturing, accurate measurement of product dimensions is the key to ensuring product quality and performance. With the development of technology, various high-precision measuring equipment has been widely used in industrial production, including imagers, three-coordinate measuring machines and flash testers.

Vision: High-precision 2.5D and 3D measurement

Imagers, such as the Novator series, are high-precision measuring devices that combine traditional image measurement with laser scanning technology. They can achieve 2.5D and 3D composite measurements, and are particularly suitable for measuring the surface size, contour, angle and position of complex parts. The Novator series imagers use a marble-based machine and a precision servo control system to ensure measurement stability and accuracy. Its advantage is that it can adapt to a variety of complex workpiece surfaces, and through replaceable RGB light sources and independent lifting mechanisms, it can accurately capture the outer contour dimensions of the product.

Coordinate measuring machine: comprehensive size and shape inspection

The CMM provides a comprehensive measurement solution for the inspection of the size, shape and relative position of various parts. This equipment is known for its high precision and multi-axis motion capability, which can accurately measure the outer contour dimensions of the product. The CMM uses granite guides with low thermal expansion coefficient to ensure that the machine can maintain measurement accuracy at different temperatures. In addition, the one-piece casting design of its key components further improves the accuracy and stability of the machine.

Flash Tester: Fast and accurate one-click measurement

The VX8000 series flash tester is an innovative measuring device that uses a dual telecentric high-resolution optical lens and a high-precision image analysis algorithm to achieve one-button fast and accurate measurement. In CNC mode, the operator only needs to press the start button, and the instrument can automatically complete a series of operations such as positioning, matching, measurement, and report generation. This device is particularly suitable for scenarios that require fast batch measurement, greatly improving measurement efficiency.

Comprehensive application: achieving the best measurement results

Combining the advantages of these three devices, comprehensive and accurate measurement of the product's outer contour dimensions can be achieved. First, a three-coordinate measuring machine is used to detect the preliminary size and shape of the product to ensure the accuracy of the basic data. Subsequently, an imager is used to conduct in-depth analysis of complex or detailed parts to capture dimensions that are difficult to measure using traditional methods. Finally, for batch products that require rapid inspection, a flash tester is used for efficient measurement to ensure production efficiency.

Through the comprehensive application of imagers, three-dimensional coordinate measuring machines and flash testers, the manufacturing industry can achieve precise control of product outer contour dimensions, thereby improving product quality and market competitiveness. The combination of these three devices not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of measurement, but also provides more solutions for the measurement of complex workpieces. With the continuous advancement of technology, future measurement equipment will be more intelligent and automated, providing stronger support for the development of the manufacturing industry.
