Stereo viewers have long working
distance
'Eyepieceless' stereo viewers provide operators with a long working distance and a large depth of field for quick an easy tasks like the inspection and deburring of machined components.
With strong lead generation from MACH 2004, Vision Engineering is exhibiting again this year in the Measurement and Inspection Pavilion, but with a new range of Mantis - stereo inspection systems The new range of stereo inspection equipment will be demonstrated along with Vision Engineering's highly accurate metrology solutions for the precision engineering industry and includes the Hawk and Kestrel Non-Contact Measuring Systems

Kestrel - a 2-axis Non-Contact Measuring System is the result of more than 40 years of industrial measurement and inspection experience.
It has been designed as a shop floor measurement tool, to be used by operators to inspect and measure the components next to the production line.
Whilst it is possible to use Kestrel in a QC department, ease of use allows for rapid feedback when the instrument is used on the shop floor.
The operator views the component through a large, clear viewing head which presents a high resolution, bright image of the inspected subject.
By moving the accurate measuring stage it is possible to carry out precise measurements on machined components.
The Hawk 3-axis Non-Contact Measuring Systems offer patented, high resolution metrology with a wide range of capacity and capability options.
This range of highly capable measuring microscopes features a variety of measurement and data capture options, including fully automatic movement, autofocus and Video Edge Detection (VED).
Designed to be robust and stable, the sturdy construction of the Hawk gives a high level of achievable system accuracy.
Depending on application and stage size, Hawk provides repeatable, accurate measurement with up to 5 micron resolution, 2 micron stage accuracy, 2 micron stage repeatability and 3 micron stage reproducibility.
