Affordable, non-contact measurement

The Starlite 150, from OGP UK, is an affordable, non-contact video-based measuring machine, ideal for gauging small parts.

The machine's measuring area of 150 by 75 by 125 mm is adjusted via a pair of coaxial coarse/fine XY knobs, while the Z motion button is mounted on the front of the system for easy part positioning and focus. The semi-automatic bench top system, priced at £9,560, includes a raft of standard features designed to produce fast, accurate data and boost the efficiency of a wide variety of inspection tasks. Starlite 150 incorporates OGP's intuitive Gage-X metrology software and a user-friendly graphical interface that make it easy and quick to create complete inspection programs. In addition, the system's powerful series of editing tools allow users to update routines at the touch of a button while images can be stored at varying magnifications for visual inspection records. Starlite 150 sets itself apart from other competitor machines by means of superior optics and patented LED illumination. OGP's VectorLight LED white lights provide a claimed unrivalled level of detail and contrast by pinpointing light from an infinite number of directions to detect exactly the correct features of a part. The system's programmable, motorised 6.5:1 zoom lens delivers clear-cut images that remain in focus and on-axis throughout its magnification range of 34x-176x.
