The VµMaster is a manual 2D vision system with a massive difference.
Due to the newly patented ColourMap scale system, the VµMaster does not have
a conventional stage or encoders, just a floating measuring camera that is able to
move anywhere in the measuring range.

The position of the measuring camera is cleverly determined by a second camera
moving in unison and reading the patented X,Y scale.
This enables the VµMaster to offer high accuracy measurement (error = <7.5µm)
anywhere in the 400 x 300mm X, Y measuring range without the need for
conventional high precision (high cost) mechanics.

The measuring system operates on a Windows XP platform and is based on
Baty's widely used ‘Fusion' software.
Standard geometric features are calculated from data collected using Video Edge
Detection. Other features include a new comprehensive suite of video tools with
‘live' edge detection adjustment and digital zooming / panning. The programmable ring light consists of high density white LEDs which can be controlled individually. Conventional measurement of 2D features can be combined with free-form profile scanning which can be overlaid onto CAD files. The results are displayed graphically and a dimensioned component drawing can be produced instantly.
