Keyence VHX-5000 digital microscope
The microscope covers all basic analysis operations - “Observation, Capture, and Measurement” in a single unit and enables you to make observations quickly and efficiently. All of the lenses, camera, and graphics engine are internally designed to enable observation providing a good balance between depth and brightness.
The 50-frames-per-second camera captures a large amount of image data with different focus positions, and the REMAX V high-speed processing graphics engine processes it at high speed.
High resolution images are obtained with single-wavelength light and the HDR (High Dynamic Range) function, that captures multiple images by varying the shutter speed, to produce a fine detail image. These two functions enable high resolution and high contrast observation.
• 20x-5000x magnification
• 25.5 mm working distance
• Automatic calibration
• 3D measurements
• Detachable camera
• Bright/dark-field illumination

Werth VideoCheck® HA
Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) provides the ability to quickly capture, process, and analyze measurement data by using various different sensors and extensive 3D analysis algorithms for standard and free-form geometries. Any combination of documentation from the measurement results or transferred data via the serial interface can be set up in the software. CMM also supports a teaching mode and 3D computer numerical control model for automated measurement sequences.
Values given are for systems with appropriate specifications. Detailed descriptions of the used standards and adjusting parameters see Werth final inspection guideline.
Measuring range:
X=400 mm (multisensory operation with 2nd Z-axis) or
X=530 mm (single sensor mode)
Y=400 mm
Z=up to 400 mm
The available measuring range for workpieces is determined by the sensor-/ accessories configuration.
Rotary axis:
Chuck capacity D= 0.5 to 10 mm;
Maximum permissible workpiece diameter: 100 mm;
Maximum permissible torque: 5 Nm;
Mechanical runout of the rotary axis (without support flanges, workpiece fixture etc.): <0.5 μm.
Sensor type:
-
Image processing sensor
-
Stylus probe (SP) 25
-
Werth Laser Probe (WLP)
-
Chromatic Focus Point (CFP)
-
