Video-based measurement system offers increased speed
The new generation of HDV300 and HDV400 bench-top Digital Video Comparators (photo) boast a number of enhancements. CNC (computer numerical control) motion on the new HDV systems is said to be significantly faster than predecessors, enabling even greater user measurement throughput. At 10 mm/s, speed on the Y-axis has tripled, and X-axis speed has almost doubled at 45 mm/s. In addition, improved LED ring lighting provides a more consistent illumination. The computer and M3 controller in the new systems are located inside the HDV housing, resulting in a clean design with minimal external wiring and connections. — The L.S. Starrett Co., Athol, Mass.
