Digital Imaging & Metrology iNEXIV VMA-2520

Designed to meet the automated metrology requirements of mechanical parts, electronic devices, dies & molds and medical devices
vma-2520

The new iNEXIV VMA-2520 has been expressly designed for three-dimensional workpieces. Though compact and lightweight in design, it provides a long 200mm Z-axis stroke and a 73.5mm working distance, enabling easy Z-axis measurement of mechanical parts, plastic injection molding parts, metal press parts, electronic devices, dies & molds and medical devices. The standard 10x zoom optics meets the industry’s demanding needs for superb resolution at high magnifications while offering a wide field of view at low magnifications. Low distortion optics and high intensity white LED illumination sources improve contrast to enhance throughput. This combination assures reproducible measurements even for colorful parts.


Main features

Easy and accurate measurements optimized for 3D parts
Nikon has drawn on its state-of-the-art digital technologies to produce a highly affordable automated measurement system. The iNEXIV VMA-2520’s design is optimized for easy use as well as repeatable and accurate measurement of 3D parts.

Compact and lightweight
The iNEXIV VMA-2520 is a powerful bench top system designed to use minimum factory floor space. The main body has a footprint of only 565mm W x 690mm D x 740mm H (computer and controller separate) and weighs only 72kg (158.7 lb), yet it still has a 250mm x 200mm x 200mm measuring capability.

Long working distance
The newly developed optical system features a super long 73.5mm working distance for all magnifications. This allows sufficient three dimensional clearance for Z-axis measurements even at high magnification.

Sophisticated VMA AutoMeasure software
This new versatile software has been developed exclusively for the VMA-2520. It provides various functions to easily conduct tasks ranging from setup, teaching programs and measurements, to evaluations.

High-speed, highly-accurate Laser AF (optional)
In addition to the standard Vision AF, an optional high-speed Laser AF with a long 63mm working distance is available. It provides fast focusing and Z-axis measurements regardless of the surface shape of your workpiece.

Touch probing measurement (optional)
The iNEXIV VMA-2520 accepts the Renishaw TP20 system, making 3D parts measurement much easier.
  • Touch Probing Option will be availabke in 2007 summer.
