Difference between tool microscope and image measuring machine
Differences in structural design
1, the image measuring instrument design structure is relatively simple, the measurement range can be maximised according to customer requirements.
2, tool microscope design is very compact and precise, retaining the pure optical measurement system, with eyepieces and objective lenses to observe and measure, the transmission is used in the bearing guide, high precision measurement, can be used with a variety of accessories for a variety of measurement work.
Measurement operation is different
1, image measuring instrument for plane two-dimensional aspects of the workpiece, the measurement of the speed is very fast, the software features more, many measurements are dependent on the software to complete.
2, tool microscope measurement of a wide range, part of the parts measured through the accessories to complete, high-magnification objective lens is also able to carry out height measurements, the operator has certain technical requirements, with the software has all the functions of the image measuring instrument.
Measuring range is different
1, the image measuring instrument is more suitable for measuring flat two-dimensional workpiece, but for columnar parts, such as tools, threads and screws, etc., the measurement is very inconvenient and not accurate enough, and even can not be measured.
2, tool microscope measuring range is extremely wide, you can choose to cooperate with the indexing head, round table, thimble holder and other accessories, measurement of columnar parts and two-dimensional parts more accurate.
So for some plane and precision requirements of the workpiece is not too high, you can choose the image measuring instrument. For workpieces that require high accuracy or even secondary focusing in the process, tool microscope.
