XT-2000/1000 Series Video Coordinate Measuring Systems
Scienscope video coordinate measurement machines are specifically designed for non-contact measurement and inspection of small intricate features on small or large parts. These systems are a natural step up from measuring microscopes and optical comparators. With granite base construction and steel stages the systems provide long term accuracy and reliability, an excellent ROI. Systems may be configured with measurement software or metrology specific DROs.
Scienscope Video CMM
Eventually Hofer leased a Scienscope manual video coordinate measurement system with that company’s DMP-3000 dimensional measurement software. “The ScienScope gave us what we need and more,” he says. “First, it’s programmable, so once you go through the process of checking a part, you can save the routine and reuse it. That saves a lot of time. Second, and even more important, it’s a vision system that is super accurate. Once you calibrate the machine, you can quickly check your parts. In fact, we’ve cut down from more than twenty minutes to only a couple of minutes per part.” The Scienscope system is PC-based, Hofer says. It uses advanced digital image processing technology to capture and analyze video images for dimensional measurement. It then compares the measurement to nominal values and tolerances in order to identify nonconformance of the part being measured. The DMP-3000 software can be linked to other Windows applications such as SPC, best-fit packages and spreadsheets.
“We’re hooked up live to Excel,” Hofer says. “So we can collect data on the fly. We can email our results to our customers or print out a hard copy. The system is straightforward and easy to use.”

XT-1000 VMS Video Measurement System
The most economical system from Scienscope is the XT- 1000 VMS. This low cost machine has a solid granite base and Z column and uses the same stage design as the higher cost machines. The cost savings comes from having a separate light control box and the Z axis focus adjustment is located on the Z axis. As well, a work bench or machine base is not included with the machine.
