Equipped with a probe, the Keyence IM6225-T digital profile projector extends its non-contact 2D measurement capabilities to include height and depth measurements. Keyence's IM series of image-based dimensional measurement systems have proved their worth in many industries. Their reliability, efficiency and speed, as well as their ease of programming and use, are universally acclaimed. Today, they are used in a wide range of applications, from quality control to production lines.
This dimensional measurement solution delivers reliable, precise measurements extremely quickly. All the operator has to do is place the part to be inspected on the machine table and press the button to start the inspection sequence. Up to 99 ribs are measured in a matter of seconds, with accuracy ranging from ±5 µm to ±0.7 µm. This leads to significant productivity gains and guarantees repeatability of measurements, whatever the operator.
Keyence's range of profile projectors has grown over the years, and its array of functions and measurement tools has expanded to offer the most appropriate response to the specific needs of each industrial customer. Today, it is even richer with the launch of the IM6225-T model, which features 3D measurement. This model is equipped with a probe that can be used to measure part heights in addition to 2D measurements. And it's all very simple. Once the 2D measurements (in X and Y) have been carried out without contact by optical imaging, the combined movements of the table on which the part to be inspected is located in the X direction, and the probe in the Y and Z directions, enable all kinds of Z measurements over a range of 60 mm: part height, drilling/flaring depth, etc...
The part to be inspected is automatically located by the IM's camera, which then controls movements to ensure probing of the points designated by the program. The programming of Z measurement sequences is carried out simply and graphically, as is already the case for 2D measurements. A specific tool has been integrated into the programming software to designate the probing points at the height of the part to be inspected.
Z measurements are made automatically by an interchangeable stylus (flat or spherical end) mounted on a magnetic base. Depending on the measurement area to be covered, two stylus positions are available. Measuring accuracy is ±15 µm on a 95×95 mm measuring field, and ±7.5 µm on a 95×45 mm measuring field.
