QUICK VISION ACTIVE 404

The Mitutoyo QUICK VISION ACTIVE 404 is a type of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) vision measuring machine. It is part of Mitutoyo’s Quick Vision series, which is designed to offer precision and high-speed, non-contact dimensional measurements using an optical system combined with advanced image processing technology. Here's a breakdown of the key features and specifications of the QUICK VISION ACTIVE 404:

Key Features:

1. High Precision and Accuracy:

• The QV ACTIVE 404 is designed for high precision, capable of measuring with very tight tolerances. This makes it ideal for industries such as electronics, automotive, medical devices, and other fields requiring meticulous measurements.

1. Non-contact Measurement:

• The machine uses optical systems such as a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) camera for non-contact measurements. This is beneficial for fragile parts or components that could be deformed by contact methods.

1. 3D Measurement Capabilities:

• While primarily a 2D measurement system, the QUICK VISION series, including the ACTIVE 404, is capable of performing 3D measurements using the autofocus functionality, combining Z-axis data with XY plane information.

1. Automated Measurement:

• This model supports full automation with programmable measurement sequences, reducing human error and allowing for faster and more efficient inspection processes.

1. Multi-sensor Technology:

• In addition to the optical system, the machine can be equipped with optional touch probes and laser sensors to enable a hybrid of non-contact and contact measurement techniques.

1. Easy-to-use Software:

• The machine is equipped with Mitutoyo’s QVPAK software, which is intuitive and user-friendly. It allows for easy setup of measurement routines, data analysis, and reporting. This software also provides advanced image processing, pattern recognition, and real-time feedback.

1. Illumination Options:

• The system is equipped with multi-angle and adjustable LED illumination (such as ring, coaxial, and transmitted lighting), enhancing the visibility of part edges and surface features for more accurate measurements.

Specifications (Typical for the 404 model):

• Measuring Range:
• X-axis: 400 mm
• Y-axis: 400 mm
• Z-axis: 200 mm
• Resolution: Typically in the micron range, around 0.1 µm, depending on the configuration.
• Repeatability: High repeatability, generally within sub-micron accuracy for 2D and 3D measurements.
• Magnification: The camera and optics allow for different magnifications, enabling both macro and micro-scale measurements.
• CNC Control: Automated stage movements along the XYZ axes controlled via CNC.
• Environmental Considerations: The machine typically operates in temperature-controlled environments to maintain accuracy, as even small variations in temperature can affect measurement results.

Applications:

The Mitutoyo QUICK VISION ACTIVE 404 is used in various industries for:

• Quality Control: It is particularly suited for inspecting small and complex parts that need precise measurements, like those used in electronics or medical devices.
• Manufacturing: Ensuring that components meet exact specifications during production.
• R&D and Prototyping: Analyzing the physical characteristics of prototypes during the design phase.

Benefits:

• Efficiency: Automated routines allow for quicker measurements and reduced operator time.
• Versatility: The machine's multi-sensor capabilities provide flexibility to measure a wide range of part geometries and materials.
• Non-destructive Testing: Non-contact measurements prevent potential damage to sensitive or delicate parts.

In summary, the Mitutoyo QUICK VISION ACTIVE 404 is a powerful vision measuring machine that combines high precision, speed, and versatility with advanced imaging technology, making it suitable for various industries needing accurate and automated dimensional analysis.
