Punched/laser cut parts measured within
25 micron
Latest planar measurement system for checking punched or laser-cut sheet metal and flat component has a measuring accuracy of 25 micron.
InspecVision launched a number of new Planar sheet metal and flat component measurement systems at the recent EuroBlech 2006 sheet metal working exhibition The Planar products were first introduced at Euroblech 2004 to great interest from the metal working industry

Sheet metal components measured accurately
Planar sheet-metal/flat-sheet measurement systems can measure a component's height and shape millions of times at an accuracy of up to +/-0.025mm.
Easy migration to 2D code reading
A brand new range of 2D code reading products will provide an inexpensive solution for businesses to migrate from the existing less robust 1D barcode methods
In the last two years we have continued to innovate and extend our range of Planar inspection equipment.
We have brought to the market smaller machines to suit more office based environments and larger machines to measure over bigger distances.
We have installed our Planar machines in a range of companies in the sheet-metal, aerospace and gasket industries who use our machines for inspection and reverse engineering.

Vision CMM has no wiring or mechanical links
Based on innovative vision technology, a portable CMM has neither wires nor mechanical links between its lightweight probe and its measurement device to measure small and large components.
* P17.25 - the P17.25 has its world launch at EuroBLECH 2006.
This new machine has a measuring accuracy of 25 micron.
No other machine designed to measure punched or laser cut materials has this level of accuracy.
This compact machine is suitable for desk mounting and is shipped to the customer fully assembled and calibrated.
* 3D measuring system - we showed, for the first time, model P85.50 with our new innovative 3D line laser used for measuring component cross sections.
With this option it is possible to accurately measure formed features produced on turret punch presses and presses.
It is also possible to measure folded structures produced on press brakes and even machined components.
No other sheet metal measuring machine on the market today has this capability.
* P40.50 - the P40.50 represents the first machine of a new generation of low cost, compact precision measuring machines.
These machines use our patented opto-electronic Planar technology but are constructed from modular building blocks.
All InspecVision Planar precision measuring machines are suitable for a wide variety of applications, as follows.
* Inspection - the Planar machines allow manufacturers to carry our first article inspection in seconds.
In harsh factory environments the Planar machine maintains its accuracy.
It has no moving parts to wear or recalibrate and is impervious to scratches on the measuring surface.
The Planar machine will measure an object in 1/8s regardless of its complexity and will process the information in seconds.
Because of its speed it is unaffected by vibrations and can be installed on the factory floor.
Earlier detection of wear and tear and errors will reduce expensive and time consuming wastage.
* Reverse engineering - with a single click the InspecVision Planar can measure a component's height and shape millions of times at an accuracy of up to +/-0.025mm.
Measurements can then be used to inspect, reverse engineer and measure a component's thickness, convert printed CAD drawings into DXF drawings, create 3D models, measure bent tubes, and many other tasks.
This feature significantly reduces the number of man hours spent reverse engineering.
What used to be a complex and difficult task and can done in a few minutes.
At InspecVision we are committed to providing a cost effective inspection solutions.
We were the proud winner of the 'Best Quality Control System' at the UK's 'Metalworking Production' magazine awards held during Mach 2006 in Birmingham (England).
