Measuring within the field of view (FOV) is a new way to accurately measure parts with fast measurement speeds, and accuracies over traditional methods such as comparators and vision systems. Use these systems for simple automatic measurement of your parts!
FOV vision measurement systems from Starrett in the US and new partner Sipcon in India, a leading manufacturer of high performance measuring systems for a wide range of industrial and medical applications.
Bridge CMMs are the most common and are used across all types of industry.
Gantry CMMs are usually specified where large parts need to be measured such as the automotive, aerospace and mining sectors.
Finally, there is the horizontal arm type of CMM – either single or twin arms and mainly used in the automotive sector.
CMM software is usually supplied with the purchase of a new CMM, which in some cases can limit choice and reduce future flexibility.
If possible choose an open-source CMM software platform for your CMM rather than the OEM’s own developed software which may lock you into using that particular brand in the future.
By measuring within the field of view (FOV) a major time saving can be achieved with all measurements being taken automatically and without moving the machine stage. The larger the FOV the larger the area of interest that can be measured.
Starrett systems can have large FOV measurement sizes up to 92 mm x 75 mm with the HDV100 Flip system.
Sipcon’s Part Quickie has FOV sizes of up to 150 mm x 110 mm with the SVI-PQ-150 model.
