In modern manufacturing—especially in precision machining, electronics assembly, new energy, and automotive parts industries—speed and accuracy in dimensional measurement have become critical to quality control. Traditional manual methods such as projectors, calipers, and microscopes are not only time-consuming and prone to errors, but also heavily dependent on the operator’s experience. The new generation of Fast Image Dimension Measuring Systems—the IM Series—is designed to revolutionize conventional measurement approaches, achieving true "fast, high-precision, fully automatic" dimension inspection.
1. Purpose and Core Features of the IM Series
The IM Series is a non-contact measuring device that integrates industrial-grade HD cameras with AI image recognition algorithms. It is suitable for various materials, shapes, and batch types. The system is widely applied in industries like:
Metal stamping
Plastic molding
Electronic components
PCBs
Medical instruments
Small mechanical parts
Users simply place the part on the measurement platform and press a one-click start button. Within 1 second, the system completes measurement of hundreds of features, automatically generating a full inspection report and uploading it to the customer’s MES or data management system.
Ideal for takt-time production lines or large-volume inspection, the IM Series delivers a complete closed-loop system—from simplified operation to full data automation.
2. Structural Design: Large Field of View Meets High Precision
One of the IM Series’ most significant technical innovations lies in its switchable dual-field measurement mode.
Maximum field of view: Up to 300mm × 200mm, ideal for large components such as battery housings, metal panels, or elongated parts.
High-precision small-field mode: Suitable for micro parts, small holes, grooves, and fine spacing, with measurement precision up to 1μm.
Unlike traditional equipment, where a large FOV often compromises resolution, the IM Series utilizes dual telecentric lenses and dual 20-megapixel cameras. This setup not only provides wide coverage but also ensures ultra-sharp imaging of fine details.
3. Intelligent Lighting System for Advanced Surface Detection
Conventional image systems often struggle with surface reflections, inconsistent colors, or blurry edges, leading to measurement instability. The IM Series overcomes these challenges using:
Motorized multi-angle surface lighting
Coaxial and oblique ring lighting combinations
AI-driven lighting optimization algorithms
These enhancements significantly improve edge recognition accuracy on various surfaces (e.g., glossy, matte, electroplated, sandblasted).
Example: An automotive client needed to inspect edge spacing on plated metal parts. Traditional vision systems failed due to burrs and reflections. The IM Series used AI edge recognition and noise filtering to exclude invalid areas and complete high-precision detection of multiple edges within just 1 second.
4. One-Click Operation and Automation Integration
The IM Series was designed with the philosophy of “professional results for any user,” and offers a zero-learning-curve interface:
Graphical interface: Drag-and-drop tools require no coding experience
Auto-focus and auto-positioning: The system automatically recognizes coordinates and orientation, no precise alignment needed
Preloaded measurement programs: One-click template-based measurement
It also supports I/O integration with PLCs, robotic arms, and loading/unloading systems—perfect for in-line, near-line, or batch automation. Customers can trigger program switching and data logging through decimal-coded signals for seamless multi-product inspection.
5. Intelligent Data Management & Reporting
After measurement, the IM Series automatically generates visual inspection reports and supports:
Direct uploads to MES/QMS systems
Export in Excel, PDF, or SPC formats
Overlay charts, trend graphs, and out-of-tolerance markings
The data is traceable and compliant with quality management standards, helping companies improve yield analysis, root-cause diagnostics, and process optimization.
6. Compact Desktop Design for Flexible Deployment
Designed as a compact desktop system, the IM Series is space-efficient and easily deployable in:
Production line edges
Quality control labs
Incoming or outgoing inspection stations
It features an all-in-one structure that requires no external air source or additional supports. Its small footprint and aesthetic design make it ideal for space-constrained environments, aligning with modern smart factory needs in both efficiency and appearance.
