Latest Mitutoyo vision systems enhance measurement productivity with technological advancements

Mitutoyo has announced new enhancements to its Vision Pro vision measurement system line. It comes just a few months after the company released the Mitutoyo LH600F/FG linear high measurement system.

Mitutoyo’s recent introduction of the QV Vision Pro Series has set the stage for the future of vision measurement with several new features. The StrobeSnap vision measuring function speeds up quality run time compared to other competitor’s machines by approximately 35 to 45 per cent regardless of measurement position or continuity while achieving higher throughput and high-precision measurements. Additionally, autofocus on the QV Pro Series is about 39 per cent faster than previous models, which were already the fastest in their class, without loss of accuracy for measurement.

These product enhancements are set to help Mitutoyo further penetrate the semiconductor and automotive industries.

Having also recently introduced the QV Vision Pro Series, Mitutoyo has sought to improve the speed of its Vision Pro vision measurement products, with a particular focus on quality run time and autofocus.

“It’s an exciting time in the marketplace for machine vision measurement and Mitutoyo is at the forefront of the industry bringing our customers best-in-class machines and real-time solutions to meet the biggest and most complicated quality measuring challenges they will be facing in the years ahead,” states Matt Dye, President Mitutoyo America Corporation.

The most recent market research shows the vision machine measuring (VMM) market is set to explode with an expected value of $41Billion by 2030.

Additionally, as the automotive industry transitions from combustion engines to electric, vision measurement is taking on a larger role in the construction of electric vehicles (EV). EV motors are now manufactured in a way which makes vision measurement a more accurate, effective, and cost-effective solution than its CMM counterparts for parts quality inspection, with motors typically composed of several layers of rotors that are stamped and stacked on top of each other and laminated together. Most CMM probes would have a difficult time measuring these parts with any accuracy.
