Vision Engineering TVM Field of View (FOV) video measurement system

Vision Engineering’s TVM Field of View (FOV) video measurement system combines instant field of view measurements with versatile measurement tools that cater to the needs of operators on the shop floor.

The system’s small footprint saves space in the workshop or laboratory, while its ease of use eliminates operator errors and is said to save time. The product is therefore a valuable asset for a wide range of quality assurance applications, such as instant go/no-go assessments.

The TVM systems can be configured to suit specific applications. The fixed stage FOV system enables instant measurements of small components, while the addition of a manually controlled stage extends measurement for larger components up to 200 x 100 mm. The combination of a flat field telecentric lens and collimated sub-stage lighting facilitates the product’s measurement of components of any shape or form, including turned parts, pressed metal components, injection moulded plastics, tubes and cables.

The series comprises two systems, TVM20 and TVM35, with FOV sizes of 20 and 35 mm respectively. Both systems are designed to meet rigorous quality assurance applications in electronics, automotive, aerospace, medical and plastics manufacturing, offering rapid non-contact measurement. Components can be instantly measured within the field of view, with no need to adjust the focus or change the position of the subject under inspection.

The system’s comprehensive, user-friendly software supports a broad range of applications delivering precision and clarity. The rich suite of features includes simple data import/export, image stitching and reporting facilities.
