Hi Dale,

What are you measuring? That will make a difference. 

I researched vision measurement systems for machined parts a few years ago. SmartScope was the best of the bunch we evaluated. But for budget reasons we ended up buying a less expensive brand, MVP.

If you are looking for AOI, that is a totally different animal.

Best regards,
Raye Rivera

Subject: [TN] Vision Systems - Recommendations anyone?

Our old Vision Gauge microscopic viewing/capture system finally bit the dust and I'd like to solicit your inputs on a replacement. The old system was a HIROX KH-2200 analog system, but we can go either analog or digital depending on where we get the most bang for the buck. Really do need something that can do 2-D measurements (3-D would be great, but I understand lots more expensive), and can capture the pictures in some common format like JPG or BMP or even port to PDF. Has to be a color system, not just B&W or grayscale. 

I have been pricing HIROX systems and they seem a bit pricey, but maybe they are the best choice in this arena. Anyway, that's why I'm asking for feedback from those that know.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can give us as we start the search! Please contact me offline if you'd rather not publicly comment about any particular vision system manufacturers.

Have a GREAT Friday Quiz!
