Measuring Microscope Provides Ease of Use



Mitutoyo America Corporation offers its generation D MF/MF-U measuring microscopes.

The MF/MF-U measuring microscopes offer long working distance and sub-micron accuracy glass scales of previous models as well as the following enhancements:

  • 3-axis, motor-driven positioning with variable speed joystick control and collision prevention (Z-axis) to reduce operator fatigue and increase accuracy.
  • Motorized X-, Y- and Z-axis motor functions can be combined with a Mitutoyo Vision Unit for enhanced automation in toolmaker microscopes.
  • Laser Auto-Focus (LAF) models provide improved accuracy and repeatability in two modes of operation: Just Focus (JF) mode for quick focusing and Tracking Focus (TF) for maintaining focus as the stage moves.
  • Optical options available include magnification levels, BF/DF and LED illumination.

"High repeatability and productivity make the new Mitutoyo MF/MF-U microscope ideal for measurement of cutting tools, molds and other machined components," said a company spokesperson. "Semi-conductor wafer holders specific to the generation D MF/MF-U measuring microscope are available."

Additionally, MF/MF-U Measuring Microscopes can support output to measurement data applications such as MeasurLink, Mitutoyo's proprietary statistical processing and process control program, which performs statistical analysis and provides real-time display of measurement results for SPC applications. The program can also be linked to a higher level network environment for enterprise-wide functionality.
