Vision Engineering have launched The Peregrine, which is a new 2-axis optical and video measuring system; which incorporates the new QC300 touchscreen video microprocessor. Optical measurement is carried out by using the Dynascope head, allowing for measurement of optically difficult parts and video measurement, allowing for easy measurement of simple, high contrast features.
Designed to enable quick, accurate, repeatable measurement on multiple planes in the X and Y axis, the Peregrine offers measuring capabilities via either the high resolution optical Dynascope image or the flexible live video image. The advantage of both optical and video measuring is versatility delivering highly accurate measurement of complex or low contrast features, that would otherwise be difficult to measure, or rapid measurement of simpler features with the video measuring feature. Either way the Peregrine offers a solution for quality processes on the shopfloor where a variety of components are being measured in two dimensions.
Comprehensive video tools are accessed by a video dedicated microprocessor QC300 employing the latest touchscreen technology, with a unique simplified one touch tool teach facility. The QC300 display can be easily switched to DRO layout for single point feature measurement.
The Peregrine utilises a 150mm x 100mm (6” X 4”) XY measuring stage which is robust and yet requires little effort to manoeuvre due to the mechanically smooth operation of the system.
