(Mitutoyo American Corp.: Aurora, IL) -- Mitutoyo America Corp., a leader in precision measuring instruments, has announced the integration of the powerful Metlogix M3 software into the Mitutoyo Quick Image (QI) 2D Vision Measuring System. This latest enhancement promises to elevate the precision and efficiency of noncontact measurements, further solidifying Mitutoyo’s commitment to providing innovative technology solutions to meet modern quality control needs.

Unmatched efficiency and ease of use

The integration of Metlogix M3 software transforms the Quick Image system, known for its superior accuracy and ease of use, into an even more robust tool for noncontact measurements. The M3 software introduces a highly intuitive, icon-driven interface designed for simplicity and speed.

Key features of the Metlogix M3 software with Quick Image:

Pattern-based measurements: The M3 software provides innovative pattern-based tools that simplify the measurement process, making it easy to measure multiple points in a single action. This dramatically reduces setup time and increases productivity.

Advanced video probes: The software’s advanced video edge detection tools, such as EyeMeasure and MeasureLogic, enable fast, accurate edge and feature capture. The VTouch probe brings unprecedented functionality by allowing video-based touch probing for quick acquisition of individual points.

Field-of-view measurement: Metlogix’s powerful field-of-view functionality automates part measurements by simply placing multiple parts in the camera’s view. The system detects, measures, and displays results without the need for operator intervention, streamlining the inspection process.

SuperImage stitching: For larger workpieces up to 400 mm, the Quick Image system utilizes an ultralong 90mm working distance to capture and stitch multiple frames into a single image with Metlogix’s SuperImage feature. This function enhances accuracy and clarity over larger areas while allowing flexible, soft fixture setups for repeated measurements.

Versatility and scalability

With the enhanced capabilities of the M3 software, the Quick Image system ensures that manufacturers can measure larger components with precision and efficiency.
