The Excel 650 series of multi-sensor measurement machines from Micro-Vu Corporation (Metrology Direct) has 10 new models that accommodate large parts or multiple smaller parts, for three dimensional measurement.

The systems feature high speed, high accuracy measuring, using new optics, new laser capabilities, a substantial granite base, closed-loop motion control and high resolution encoders.


Multi sensor measurement machine rangeWith a 650 by 650 mm XY capacity, the machines accommodate large parts, weighing up to 100 kg, on the glass. Machines feature Z-axis capacities of 160 mm, 250 mm, and 400 mm.

The gantry-style machine design allows parts to remain stationary, while the XYZ movement of the sensors takes place above the parts.

The Excel 650 Series machines include Micro-Vu's InSpec Metrology Software, which integrates 36:1 zoom, laser, touch-probe sensor, rotary indexer, and platen capabilities with camera-based vision measuring capabilities. The software also includes proprietary correction and vision algorithms that give machines sub-micron capabilities.
