Falcon – A NEW 3-axis Non-Contact Video Measuring System Now with an Automated CNC Option.

Feb. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Powerful, yet simple and intuitive, delivering accurate results with confidence, the Falcon now incorporates an automated measurement option.  Making the measurement process effortless, the Falcon’s automated CNC (computer numerical control) option allows measurements to be made automatically, saving significant amounts of time.

The Falcon 3-axis video measuring system is a valuable system for any Quality Department requiring instant non-contact measurement in X, Y and Z-axis.  Utilising a high resolution camera, the Falcon can measure key dimensions and features using video edge detection technology, without deformation, critical when measuring small and intricate components.

Available for both the QC300 microprocessor and the QC5000 PC based system with the QuadraCheck 5000 (QC5000) VED, the automated CNC option allows measurement to be taken and results can be networked and shared with colleagues, with CAD import and export, and integration with Excel.

The high performance 3-axis video measuring system incorporating an indexed camera iris control to reduce depth of field, increasing the accuracy and repeatability of Z-axis results, a common complaint of video systems.

The new Falcon has 2 stage options including 150mm x 100mm, and 150mm x 150mm, with magnification options x10 – x50 zoom, x20 – x100 zoom.  The precision measuring stages include factory-completed non-linear error correction (NLEC) calibration as standard to ensure optimum accuracy and traceability.
