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.” CNC-West Magazine [December 2005 • January 2006] - visit CNC-West Magazine

Intuitive Measurement Software
The OVM PRO is easy to use full feature geometric measurement software with advanced edge detection tools. Advanced tools permit instant click and drag multiple feature measurement. OVM PRO is programmable with sequence and direction prompts that trigger auto edge detection thus eliminating time consuming fine adjustment. As well, the system features multiple datums, image capture, and CAD overlay.

XT-2000 VMP Video Measurement System The fully self contained XT-2000 VMP is an efficient compact floor standing model again featuring all granite structure and steel stage. As well the system is ergonomically designed with stage positioning, lighting and Z axis focusing right in front of the operator. Advanced intuitive edge detection software makes part measurement and easy to learn quick process. Scienscope measurement software is very easy to use, not requiring a dedicated specially trained operator . Compact / Ergonomic Efficient - increased productivity Self-contained Precision granite base and column. 1 micron resolution optical encoders. 1/2" color 1.3 megapixel USB digital camera. High resolution image. 23" LCD widescreen with large live image. LED top and back lighting. Quick release stage. Zoom lens with detents. Full feature edge detection software. 1 year warranty.

XT-2000 VME Video Measurement System Our most popular machine is the VME workstation system. It is also our best value featuring a solid granite base and Z column. The system is ergonomically designed with position, lighting and focus controls placed right in front of the operator. The part image is very sharp from a ½” color USB camera displayed on a 23” widescreen monitor. All of this comes on a solid granite topped steel workstation with convenient storage space Increase workflow productivity Redue scrap materials Improved measurement quality Precision granite base and column. LED top and back lighting. Quick release stage. Zoom lens with detents. 1/2" color 1.3 megapixel USB digital camera. High resolution image. 23" LCD widescreen with large live image. Workstation table included. Full feature edge detection software. 1 year warranty.

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. Compact system Cost effective Versatile Increased productivity Quick release stage. 1 micron resolution optical encoders. Zoom lens with detents. 1/2" color 1.3 megapixel USB digital camera. High resolution image. 23" LCD widescreen with large live image. Precision granite base and column. LED top and back lighting. Table top or workstation. 1 year warranty.
