CNC Video Measuring System Veritas VM-250V

A measure of excellence: the Nikon Veritas VM-250V and the dedicated Quadra-Check 5300NLS. The new VM-250V which boasts a longer stage stroke now joins the VM-150 as part of the Veritas series of CNC Video Measuring Systems. The Veritas VM-250V enables operators to measure parts automatically. Main body and stage combine seamlessly with the customized QC-5300NLS measuring software to give the Veritas series its unique capability. The total system that's easy to use, yet powerful enough to handle your most advanced measuring tasks.

1.	Windows based system for easier user-friendly operations.
2.	Programmable 10x zoom control with 5-step magnification.
3.	Versatile illumination techniques and video-based AF by program control.
4.	Multi-gray-level scale to determine edges.
5.	Greater throat depth for larger stages.
6.	Multitasking functionality, such as CAD interface and data export for SPC.

The Nikon VERITAS family of video-based metrology solutions combines an unsurpassed optical system and precision staging with the measuring power of Metronics Quadra-Chek QC5300NLS software. These two world-renowned leaders in quality control and quality assurance have set a new standard in dimensional inspection. Models VM-150, VM-250 and VM-500 share the same optics, CNC controller and QC5300NLS Windows-based operating system. The following features define a powerful metrology system solution.

F eatures

Incorporates world-renowned Nikon optics for superior image resolution
An optical system with a 10:1 zoom ratio and highly resolved magnifications up to 2600X.
Objectives with apertures of up to 2 inches are calibrated in 5 incremental steps and are parfocal, parcentric and linear throughout their zoom range.
Precision bearing staging with microstepper motor control and 0.4 micrometer resolution linear encoder scales in X, Y, and Z axis.
Externally ventilated 12V/100W tungsten halogen fiberoptic illuminators ensure that no heat is transferred to the measuring platform.
CNC on-axis profile and contour illumination are complemented by TTL (through the lens) oblique illumination with up to six separate channels.
A joystick/trackball with three user definable hot buttons provides for coarse control and precision fine positioning in all three axis.
An integrated CCD Camera acquires high resolution images for the video image processing system and offers the choice of Black & White or Color for the real time display.
Dual 15" Color SVGA monitors allow simultaneous part and program viewing in an ergonomic work area.
QC5300NLS Windows-based software with mouse driven icons makes the most complex measurements as easy as point and click.
Proprietary FOV (Field of View) video edge detection tools include single point, multipoint, line, circle/arc and a user definable "Magic Wand."
Superior edge detection with sub-pixeling and video brightness and contrast control allow even weak edges to be evaluated reliably and repeatedly.
Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing, Dynamic Data Exchange, CAD Import/Export and Report Wizard custom report generator are fully supported.
Image archiving supplements alphanumeric data storage for part characterization and operator training.
Optical, Mechanical and Electronic components are backed with a full one-year warranty.
Each installation is supported by an international network of NIKON/METRONICS dealers, whose skilled staff of sales and service personnel are the envy of the industry.
