The Quick Vision Apex series CNC vision measuring systems from Mitutoyo America Corporation provide accuracy (1.5+3L/1.000) and speed (1,000mm/[s.sup.2]). The systems accomplish non-contact measurement of items such as IC chips, IC packages, hybrid chassis, lead frames and various types of precision-machined and molded parts.

The platform is driven by QVPAK software, offering a selection of accuracy levels, optical/oblique illumination systems and measuring ranges.

The measuring systems are said to provide flexible illumination options, including programmable ring lights with choices of halogen ring-fiber or white or RGB LED.

A pattern-focusing function provides a focused edge, even on mirror finishes, according to the company. Additionally, the programmable power turret tube lens (or programmable power zoom lens) provides automatic zooming to extend the field of view at high levels of image detail.

Other features of the software include extended 3 D data processing functions and support of touch-probe measurement with video/TP calibration.

The software displays measurement results in 2D/3D graphics. Other standard features include single mouse-click edge-detection; abnormal data elimination; noise filters; data fit; the SmartEditor part program; and a variety of editing and control tools.
