Onyx Automatic Optical Measurement System
INCLUDES A FLAT SCREEN MONITOR! (not pictured)
This is a dimensional measurement system provides video measurement with 9 x 9 x 6 in. XYZ travel range and incorporates bridge-column design, micron linear scales, and servo-driven stages. Optical system combines flat field parfocal zoom optics with color video camera, while imaging system has Charged-Couple Device technology. Powered by QVI electronics with DSP technology, unit utilizes Basic-X Measurement Software with point-and-click interface.
This operating system and computer are no longer supported by RAM, and the price reflect that, however, the optical comparitor is and we will offer a 90 day warranty, that way you know that if it was going to have any defects in the computer, you would know in the first three months, otherwise it would be good for years to come. This is a working unit, fully tested.

Optical Comparator vs. Dimensional Measurement Aystem
Since their development in the early twentieth century, optical comparators have provided many manufacturing facilities with a method for performing dimensional inspections. However, the technology used in an optical comparator can be limiting in today's manufacturing environment where accuracy and efficiency are key. Modern advances in measurement technology, such as those found in the IM series optical measurement system, provide several critical performance advantages directly tailored to modern quality control methodologies.
Optical Comparator Technology
Measurements Vulnerable to User Variation
As all edge extraction and stage positioning is done manually with the human eye, measurement reproducibility is highly dependent on operator judgment and interpretation.
Multi Feature Measurement is Time Consuming
An optical comparator requires the stage to be manually repositioned for each edge extraction. Each new feature adds significant additional time to the inspection process.
Correct Use Requires Extensive Training
With an optical comparator, proper use requires extensive practice and training. Without this training user variation is greatly increased.
All Data Must be Entered Manually
As most optical comparators have extremely limited computer support; data entry and feature dimension calculations are time consuming and prone to operator error. GD&T values such as circularity or straightness are almost impossible to extract.
IM Series Technology
No User Variation in Inspections
As all point extractions are performed digitally using a high resolution CMOS imager, all values are independent of user influence. Any operator can execute the same recipe file and get the same results.
All Measurements are Obtained Instantly
The IM series extracts all dimensions simultaneously. Due to the extensive image processing support in the task dedicated controller, up to 99 measurements can be extracted in a few seconds.
Simple Pushbutton Operation
The IM is designed from the ground up for ease of use. An operator only has to place a part on the stage and press the measure button. The system will automatically locate the part in the field of view and execute all preprogrammed inspections with no further user intervention necessary.
Automatic Data Processing
All data gathered by the IM system can be automatically saved to a network location or on the system itself. All data for a particular part, even from multiple IM units, can be easily sorted and analyzed using the free PC based Statistical Analysis package included with each system.
