Vision Inspection for Your CMM
CMM-Ve is the vision sensor for CMMs. The high-resolution camera gives measurement performance that a tactile probe alone literally can‘t touch. Mounted directly on an articulating head such as a TESASTAR-m TKJ, the sensor can be rotated to any position desired in order to inspect 2D features using the onboard camera. This setup effectively replicates the functions of a vision system with a tilt-rotary table.
The sensor, which can be mounted on a Global Performance or Global Advantage CMM, is ideally suited for a wide range of parts with features that require non-contact measurement. It provides LED overhead illumination of the feature being inspected and has integral software controlled light intensity using PC-DMIS Vision.
The CMM-Ve is compatible with TESASTAR-r autochange rack which allows automatic sensor exchange with other types of scanning or touch probes without change of machine setup. The CMM-Ve is an ideal inspection companion for a wide variety of parts including formed or stamped sheet metal, molded plastic, EDM holes and other features where touch probe access to certain features is inconvenient or impossible. The flexible combination of vision sensing and tactile sensing on the same system offers the best combination of a vision system and a CMM, particularly when the part size exceeds the capacity of typical vision systems.
