High-def scope

Auto sales finally got back above pre-recession levels in 2014 with August sales reaching a seven-year high. After six long years, sales levels have matched 2007’s pace. More importantly, several research groups expect 2015 continue to grow. Today’s Motor Vehicles allows marketers direct access to this healthy industry with continued growth.

Aurora Illinois – Mitutoyo America Corp.’s QS-L vision series joins its Vision Measuring System Line. The new scope series features a high definition and high-speed auto focus 3-megapixel camera, a four-quadrant LED ring light using high-intensity to provide better observation performance, and an interchangeable objective lens zoom unit, producing a very sharp image due to a high numerical aperture.

Key features:

  • Instant Image Auto Focus: Height measurement is performed efficiently as non-contact measurement requires the workpiece to be lightly fixed to the stage. Additionally, in contrast to a laser-equipped microscope, measurement is less influenced by the surface roughness of the workpiece.
  • Four-quadrant LED ring: Light LED sources are standard for all illumination methods. Color tone is kept constant even after illumination intensity adjustment so high color-reproducibility observation is possible. Additionally, four-quadrant reflected illumination is provided to enable contrast of surface features to be adjusted so that edge detection accuracy is maximized.
  • Interchangeable objective lens zoom unit: The newly designed 7X-zoom unit and optional interchangeable objectives provide magnification from 13X-184X on the monitor. A wide range of measurement is covered: wide view measurement at low magnification to micro-measurement at high magnification.
