An extensive set of video tools
make it easy to measure any edge or part detail. Simply click an icon to invoke these powerful tools.
Feature Finder™ automatically finds valid data points along arcs, circles, or straight edges. Powerful image processing algorithms ensure that extraneous dirt and debris will not influence measurements.
Edge contours are easily measured with the Edge Trace tool. Simply click on the start and end points. The stage will move the entire edge into the field of view a segment at a time — automatically.
A trio of Weak Edge Point tools reliably and accurately find and measure extremely faint or indistinct edges. Weak Edge tools make it easy to find localized minimum or maximum points.
The Centroid 2 tool measures irregular shapes. It determines the XYZ center of the centroid, its min/max radius, its True Position, and data points on its perimeter.
With the Advanced Autofocus tool, simply click on a feature to automatically perform an optimized focus analysis using software-calculated parameters on-the- fly. The result is fast, precise autofocus, every time.
VIDEO AND MULTISENSOR TOOLS...
The icon Tool Box in MeasureMind 3D MultiSensor makes it easy to open, edit, and save a part routine, construct conic geometries, and more.There are icons to change units of measurement, select measurement tools, or run a saved part routine. Others let you measure a point, line, midpoint, circle, plane, or sphere. There are also tools for measuring widths, intersections, perpendicularity, parallel- ism, axis alignment, relationship of a point to a plane, gage diameter, and much more.
Of course, all these tools are also accessible with pull- down menus, if you prefer.
MeasureMind 3D MultiSensor does it all — so you don’t have to.It controls all aspects of system operation, accepts inputs from multiple sensors in any order, relates all the data points to one another, and presents the results numerically and graphically. And it does all this with a user interface that is easy to learn, and easy to use.
Image processing tools anticipate the feature you want to measure. Touch probes, lasers, and video edge sensors follow complex paths automatically. MeasureMind 3D deploys sensors when needed and retracts them out of harm’s way. It even controls the articulated PH10 touch probe in touch trigger and scanning modes.*
*On properly configured OGP SmartScope measurement systems
MeasureMind 3D supports a variety of sensors, like the innovative Feather Probe™ micro-probe. This sensor can measure extremely small features, with its micro- miniature stylus and minimal trigger force.
Laser profiles add another level of detail to part characterization.Measure edges of a solder bump with video (left) and profile its surface geometry with laser (above).Together, video and laser data provide more complete information.
MeasureMind 3D provides complete control of touch probes for measuring features inaccessible by video or laser. Touch trigger probing includes the Probe Path generator. Select as few as three points on a part radius or diameter, and Probe Path generator will automatically create a path to measure the number of points per radius with the spacing you select. Once put into motion, part programs select the probe from a changing rack, perform the measurements, and put it away — for totally unattended operation.
FOR THE RESULTS YOU NEED...
MeasureMind 3D easily integrates video, laser, touch probe, and micro-probe sensor data to give you the dimensions of every critical feature of your parts. Rich graphics and detailed numeric results help you relate measurements to design drawings. Rotate the part model to see hidden feature relationships. Rendered 3D models help you visualize the results, while tolerance variations appear in different colors. Tell at a glance which features are in or out of spec.
“Construct” tools let you thoroughly assess measured features. Then, simply save the part routine and call it up when needed. Fixture the part and run the routine. And it’s easy to edit a routine when your designs change. Simply edit the affected steps by clicking in the model, and save it as a new routine.
MeasureMind 3D MultiSensor is an intuitive, complete dimensional measurement application that lets you use your SmartScope to maintain the quality your customers expect. It does all you need it to do — and more — making it an industry favorite.
