Measurement Capabilities

The semi-automatic vision measuring machine is designed for optical inspection of visible dimensional features. Actual capability depends on the selected optics, illumination, software functions, workpiece surface, and required tolerance.

Planar Dimensions
Length, width, spacing, edge position, point-to-point distance, and feature-to-feature distance.
Geometric Features
Hole diameter, outside diameter, radius, angle, contour, and profile-related dimensions.
Height Data
Height and height-difference measurement through the motorized Z-axis function.
As a vision measuring machine with height measurement, the system combines planar geometry inspection with selected Z-axis data. It should not be presented as a complete 3D surface-scanning system unless an additional scanning or multi-sensor configuration is specified.

Measurement Process

The semi-automatic vision measuring machine uses a measurement sequence that combines operator-controlled positioning with software-assisted feature recognition.

STEP 01
Position the Workpiece
Place and secure the component on the glass stage.
STEP 02
Locate the Feature
Move the X/Y stage manually and adjust the image conditions.
STEP 03
Focus and Detect
Use Z-axis auto focus and software edge recognition to identify the target geometry.
STEP 04
Calculate and Save
Calculate the selected dimension and save the measurement program for repeated parts.

Saved programs help the 2.5D semi-automatic vision measuring machine maintain a more consistent measurement sequence while preserving manual positioning flexibility.

Operational Value

The 2.5D semi-automatic vision measuring machine is suited to inspection work where part variety, direct operator control, and height-related measurement are more important than fully automated stage movement.

It provides a practical balance for engineering samples, first-article inspection, incoming inspection, and low- to medium-volume quality control.

 

  • Flexible manual positioning for different component types
  • Automatic Z-axis focusing to reduce repeated manual adjustment
  • Software-assisted edge detection for clearer feature recognition
  • Saved measurement programs for recurring inspections
  • Height and height-difference measurement capability

The 2.5D semi-automatic vision measuring machine is therefore particularly suitable for varied components and engineering-led inspection workflows.

Structural and Measurement Design

The mechanical, optical, and software elements of the 2.5D semi-automatic vision measuring machine work together to support stable non-contact dimensional inspection.

Precision Granite Structure

The base and X/Y body use precision granite, while the stage movement system uses a ball screw and linear rail arrangement to support stable dimensional inspection.

Manual X/Y Positioning

Manual X/Y movement allows the operator to locate different features directly, which is useful when part types or measurement positions change frequently.

Automatic Z-Axis Focus

The motorized Z axis provides automatic focusing and a 200 mm travel for surface location, height measurement, and height-difference evaluation.

Imaging and Software

The high-resolution color imaging system and AQ software support automatic edge detection and measurement program saving and recall.

Because X/Y positioning remains manual, the system is correctly classified as a 2.5D semi-automatic vision measuring machine, rather than a fully automatic CNC model.

Model Selection

Both models use the same 2.5D semi-automatic vision measuring machine operating concept. Selection should be based on the complete workpiece and fixture envelope, not only the nominal part dimensions.

SV-2.5D-3020

Compact Travel

300 × 200 × 200 mm

Suitable for compact components, smaller fixtures, concentrated measurement features, and laboratories with limited installation space.

Semi-automatic Vision Measuring Machine FAQs

What is a semi-automatic vision measuring machine used for?
A semi-automatic vision measuring machine is used for non-contact dimensional inspection of visible part features such as length, width, diameter, hole spacing, angle, contour, height, and height difference. It is suitable for precision components, engineering samples, first-article inspection, incoming inspection, and low- to medium-volume quality control.
How does this machine differ from a fully automatic CNC vision measuring system?
This model uses manual X/Y stage positioning together with automatic Z-axis focusing and software-assisted edge detection. A fully automatic CNC system moves between programmed measurement positions without manual stage control. The semi-automatic configuration is more suitable for varied parts, engineering work, and inspection tasks where flexible operator positioning remains useful.
Can the machine measure height and height difference?
Yes. The motorized Z axis supports automatic focusing and can be used for height and height-difference measurement. This makes the system suitable as a vision measuring machine with height measurement. However, it should not be described as a complete 3D surface-scanning system unless additional scanning or multi-sensor functions are specifically configured.
Which parts are suitable for optical dimensional inspection?
Typical samples include machined parts, metal stampings, plastic molded components, electronic connectors, PCB-related parts, fasteners, washers, gaskets, and other components with visible edges or surface features. Suitability depends on workpiece size, surface reflectivity, feature accessibility, required tolerance, lighting conditions, and the selected optical configuration.
Which model should be selected, SV-2.5D-3020 or SV-2.5D-4030?
The SV-2.5D-3020 provides a 300 × 200 × 200 mm measuring travel, while the SV-2.5D-4030 provides 400 × 300 × 200 mm. Selection should consider the complete workpiece and fixture envelope, not only nominal part dimensions. Additional travel should be allowed for clamping, alignment, and access to measurement features.
Does the machine comply with a specific IEC or ISO standard?
This semi-automatic vision measuring machine is general-purpose dimensional measurement equipment rather than a tester dedicated to one IEC or ISO clause. It can support inspection against customer drawings, internal quality procedures, and agreed acceptance criteria. Compliance with any specific ISO, IEC, or national metrology standard must be separately verified for the ordered configuration.
Can a third-party calibration certificate be provided?
Third-party calibration can be arranged according to the customer’s quality-system and documentation requirements. Before ordering, the calibration scope, measurement points, travel range, certificate language, traceability requirements, and acceptance criteria should be confirmed. A calibration certificate should not be interpreted as product certification to a specific IEC or ISO standard.
What measurement software functions are available?
Confirmed software functions include automatic edge detection and measurement program saving and recall. These functions can improve consistency when inspecting repeated part types. The available geometric tools, tolerance evaluation functions, report formats, and data export options should be confirmed before order because final software capability depends on the selected configuration.
Is a computer included with the machine?
No. A computer and monitor are not included in the standard supply. The required computer configuration should be confirmed according to the selected measurement software and customer installation conditions. Customers should also confirm the destination power supply, available installation space, operating environment, and any internal IT requirements before delivery.
What information should be provided before quotation?
Please provide the workpiece drawing, maximum sample and fixture dimensions, material, surface condition, critical tolerances, required measurement features, inspection volume, software requirements, and calibration documentation needs. These details help KINGPO confirm whether the semi-automatic vision measuring machine is suitable and whether the 3020 or 4030 travel should be selected.
