Microcomponents are precision parts produced through advanced manufacturing processes such as micromachining, turning, milling, and precision stamping.
Their miniature dimensions, intricate geometries, and extremely tight tolerances demand high-precision optical inspection to ensure dimensional accuracy, product reliability, and consistent manufacturing quality.
Thanks to advanced optical measurement technology, you can:
capture the complete profile of the component in seconds
perform objective and highly repeatable measurements
avoid contact with miniature or delicate components
obtain immediate results for quality control
As a result, optical measurement is the ideal solution for the fast, accurate, and non-contact dimensional inspection of microcomponents.
VICIVISION systems are specifically designed for the measurement of axially symmetrical microcomponents, such as micro shafts, micro screws, and precision pins. The optical system captures the complete profile of the part along its longitudinal axis, enabling fast and accurate inspection of all critical dimensions.
METRIOS by VICIVISION, on the other hand, is ideal for inspecting microcomponents that can be placed on a flat surface. Its optical measurement technology enables the simultaneous inspection of multiple parts in just a few seconds by capturing the entire measurement area in a single acquisition.
