In daily manufacturing, dimensional inspection plays a crucial role in quality assurance. But fundamentally, what everyone wants from measurement is this: faster, more accurate, and easier.

That’s exactly why the IM Series video measuring system was developed — to solve real-world measurement issues with practical, efficient solutions.

We can sum up its key advantages in three words:
Auto-recognition, Multi-part measurement, Operator-friendly.
Let’s take a closer look at what it can actually do on the production floor.

1. Auto-recognition and Orientation Detection — One-Touch Measurement
In traditional video measuring systems, operators must manually position the workpiece, align the angle, and sometimes even adjust focus or define reference points. It’s a tedious process.

The IM Series does away with all of that.
With its advanced automatic recognition system, it can detect the location and orientation of parts instantly — no need for precise placement or fixtures. Just put the part on the stage, and it takes care of the rest.

Better yet, it supports a 300×300 mm ultra-large field of view, capable of capturing and measuring multiple parts simultaneously in a single shot — no need to move the stage or switch views.

Example:
One of our customers manufactures precision metal stamping parts. Traditionally, measuring 10 parts would take more than 5 minutes. After switching to the IM Series, all 10 parts are measured in under 10 seconds, with better accuracy and huge time savings.

More importantly, the measuring time remains the same whether you measure 1 part or 10. That’s a huge advantage for small-batch, high-mix production environments.

2. Intuitive Software Interface — Minimal Training Required
Many factories hesitate to adopt advanced equipment due to complicated interfaces and steep learning curves. IM Series was designed with this in mind.

Its user interface is clean and intuitive — only the essential functions are visible. Every step and button is clearly labeled in the local language, with guidance prompts to walk operators through measurement setup.

One customer said:
“We trained a new worker for just 20 minutes, and he was able to run measurements on his own.”

The typical operation workflow consists of just three steps:

Place the product

Press the Measure button

View results / Export data

That’s it. No need for specialized measuring staff — even first-line operators can use it easily.

3. Consistent Results — No Matter Who Uses It
Inconsistent measurement results are a common headache. Some errors come from operators, others from lighting conditions or focus issues. The IM Series addresses these problems with smart automation features.

1) Auto Brightness Adjustment
An internal brightness sensor detects ambient lighting and automatically adjusts the system’s LED illumination to compensate for changes — eliminating errors caused by over/under exposure.

2) Auto Focus
The system automatically determines the optimal focus point using clarity analysis algorithms. No need to manually adjust, ensuring consistently sharp images.

3) Edge Filtering Algorithm
For materials like plastic or rubber, edge noise from burrs or bevels can lead to misjudgment. The IM Series automatically filters invalid edge points, improving stability and repeatability.

Result:
Regardless of who operates the machine or when it’s used, you get reliable, consistent data.
In a test by a mobile frame manufacturer, three different operators measured the same parts 10 times. The IM system kept deviation within ±2μm — whereas their old system varied by over ±10μm.

Summary: A Real Tool for Efficiency, Not Just a Measuring Machine
For companies focused on improving efficiency, simplifying workflows, and achieving stable measurement results, the IM Series is a perfect fit. Unlike traditional systems that rely on skilled technicians, the IM system enables fast placement, fast learning, and fast results — with reliability built in.

Whether in electronics assembly, metal parts machining, or precision plastics, the IM Series’ fixture-free, auto-recognition, batch-measuring capability can greatly improve inspection throughput, reduce labor costs, and strengthen quality assurance.
