Mitutoyo America Corp.’s Quick Image CNC (QI-C) is part of the Quick Image series of 2D vision measuring systems. The QI-C series of telecentric lens-based 2D video inspection systems has expanded the lineup to include three models with a moving stage. Combined with the moving stage, the QIPAK software also includes an image stitching function. The small footprint and ergonomic design are suited for a variety of inspection tasks, both in the lab and on the shop floor.
 
For larger workpieces, the combination of the moving stage and image stitching allows for coverage of the measuring envelope, creating a single stitched image on which edge detection can be applied. QIPAK software creates inspection routines, part programs and repeat measurements using a single mouse click. The telecentric all-in-focus optics is suited for shafts, stampings, plastics, electronics and other difficult-to-focus workpieces.
 
The QI-C Series features a field of view (32 × 24 mm), depth of focus (up to ±11 mm), motorized X-Y stage and QIPAK software providing automated measurements throughout the range of stage travel. The telecentric optical system, combined with the image stitching capability of QIPAK V6.1, allows automated measurements.
