How to Choose Video Measuring Machine?

04 Feb.,2024

 

Choosing the right video measuring machine depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the parts you want to measure, the required measurement accuracy, and the type of measurements you need to perform. Here are some steps you can follow to choose the right video measuring machine:


1.Determine your measurement requirements: Identify the dimensions and features you need to measure and the required measurement accuracy.


2.Consider the part size: Choose a machine that can accommodate the size of your parts and has a large enough field of view to capture all of the necessary measurements.


3.Choose the right software: Look for software that can perform the type of measurements you need, such as 2D or 3D measurements, and that is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface.


4.Consider the machine's versatility: Choose a machine that can perform a variety of measurements, so that you can use it for different projects in the future.


5.Determine your budget: Determine how much you are willing to spend on a video measuring machine and look for a machine that provides the necessary features and accuracy within your budget.


6.Read reviews and compare features: Read reviews of video measuring machines and compare features, specifications, and prices of different models to find the best option for your needs.


7.Get a demonstration: Before making a final decision, ask for a demonstration of the machine to see how it works in person and make sure it meets your requirements.

Video measuring instruments are suitable for all application fields for the purpose of precise measurement, such as machinery, electronics, instruments, hardware, plastics and other industries. The automatic image measuring instrument can automatically grasp the boundary and surface of the product, and the measurement efficiency is higher under the premise of ensuring the accuracy.

Image measurement has a good human-computer interaction interface, and the special measurement software can process, evaluate and output the mapping features.

Excellent automated video measuring machine functions

1. Automatically capture data points, measure geometric features such as points, lines, circles, ellipses, ellipses, rectangles, etc., and automatically analyze various parameters of the measurement features, such as various geometric dimensions such as width, diameter, position, straightness , conicity, cylindricity, etc.;

2. Structural features and geometric tolerance functions, center point structure, intersection point structure, line structure, circle structure, angle structure, plane structure, parallelism, perpendicularity, angle, etc.;

3. It has high-precision measurement capabilities in X, Y, and Z directions, and ensures good repeatability. The repeatability is generally 1/3~1/10 of the equipment measurement accuracy, or even higher;

4. It has a positioning function and can establish a coordinate system on the part, and realize coordinate translation and coordinate alignment, so as to ensure that the measurement process will not be wrong due to product placement problems;

5. Repeated instructions can measure the same part in batches, making the whole measurement process more convenient and quick, and improving the overall measurement efficiency;

6. The measurement data can be compared with the standard value of the drawing to automatically determine whether it is out of tolerance;

7. The measurement data can be input into Excel or Word for statistical analysis.

8. Multi-language interface switching;

9. It has the functions of identifying measurement procedures and editing instructions.

How to choose a cnc video measuring system?

1. Working stroke of the image measuring instrument

Whether it is two-dimensional or three-dimensional, when we choose, its working stroke is our primary consideration. The working stroke of the image measuring instrument must refer to the size of the product to be measured by the factory to determine the working stroke size of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional coordinates. If the working stroke of the image measuring instrument is too small compared to the size of the measured product, the workpiece cannot be measured. Too big is a waste (the working stroke of the instrument is directly related to the sales price).

2. Accuracy standard of image measuring instrument

When we buy a two-dimensional image measuring instrument and a three-coordinate measuring machine, we want to use it to complete accurate measurements. If the accuracy of the image measuring instrument cannot be guaranteed, then the significance of using a two-dimensional image measuring instrument and a three-coordinate measuring instrument will be lost. 

The accuracy standard of the image measuring instrument is to refer to the accuracy of the product that the factory needs to measure (the product factory standard and assembly standard of each instrument manufacturer and even the accuracy of the actual instrument will be different). If the measurement accuracy of the factory product When the requirements are not high, it is enough to choose the instrument of the general manufacturer. If the accuracy of the measured product is required to be high, it is necessary to purchase the relevant instrument produced by the manufacturer with high instrument accuracy.

3. Measurement function of the image measuring instrument

The measurement function of the image measuring instrument refers to the convenience of the use of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements, the ease of use of the measurement software, and the stability of the instrument. If the enterprise customer measures a large amount of products, it is best to choose a fully automatic image. measuring instrument to ensure measurement efficiency.

4. After-sales service of image measuring instruments

The cost performance of the image measuring instrument must be comprehensively considered from the configuration, accuracy, stability, price, after-sales service and convenience of maintenance of the instrument. Inexpensive two-dimensional and three-dimensional coordinates may have poor accuracy, poor stability, no after-sales guarantee, and short service life; imported measuring instruments may have relatively stable performance and long service life, but the instrument is troublesome to upgrade, and the maintenance cost is relatively high. High, repair parts are not easy to find. Therefore, you must find a regular manufacturer, and the instrument is guaranteed after sale.

The above four aspects are summed up by combining various factors when we purchase the image measuring instrument. When enterprise customers choose a two-dimensional image measuring instrument and a three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine, as long as they follow the above principles to choose, I think they can buy the real required image measuring instrument.
