OGP launches SmartScope CNC 670 moving slant bridge 3D measuring centre
1 min read
Foston, Derbyshire-based OGP UK has launched the SmartScope CNC 670 which it describes as a highly stable, moving slant bridge 3D measuring centre, capable of completing inspection cycles up to 30% faster than traditional CMMs.
The OGP SmartScope CNC 670 combines fully integrated CCD image capture, touch probe and laser scanning with automatic illumination settings and co-ordinates each measuring sensor unit applied within the cycle.
Non-contact and probe-based measurement, in-cycle scanning and data capture can be carried out with the measuring centre while the component remains stationary. Meanwhile, the XY moving bridge, which carries the vertical Z-axis, is programmed to select the appropriate measuring sensor which then operates to the same datum within the automated cycle according to the component feature to be checked.
The SmartScope CNC 670 has an XYZ measuring volume of 650 by 670 by 200 mm with extension options to increase Z-axis vertical travel up to 300 or 400 mm. Rapid traverse in X and Y is 12 m/min.
The high resolution colour CCD camera has patented 12:1 AccuCentric zoom optics which incorporates auto-calibration after each change of magnification. The camera has 356 level grey scale image processing and 10:1 sub-pixel resolution. Illumination is completely LED based which includes a green substage, white coaxial TTL surface lighting and OGP's patented eight-sector SmartRing which is a white light illuminator mounted around the lens.
The operating system is Microsoft Windows 7 with MeasureMind 3D MultiSensor which is able to provide full 3D capability and integration with the full array of different sensors and any rotary indexing accessories.
