Keyence has launched the IM-X1000 Series, the latest generation of the Instant Measurement System lineup, as a modular system designed to meet individual inspection needs. Operators can now measure up to 5,000 dimensions now in as little as 1 second with the push of a button. The IM-X Series features a new ultra-wide large stage, multisensor measurement capabilities, and a world-first function to automate challenging and time-consuming part programming, the company reported.
The IM-X allows up to 20 different stage and camera combinations to build the measurement system required for an application. From general purpose optical comparator applications to multisensor measurement, optical, probe, laser and rotational measurement tools offer comprehensive inspection. Even large parts are now possible due to the increased measurement range of up to 16" x 20", which is 3.3x the measurement area of previous generations. By encompassing a wide range of part sizes with a diverse array of measurement tools, this all-in-one system enables operators to streamline the quality control process, the company reported.
Programming has also been innovated-to further enhance efficiency, the IM-X1000 now features the ability to import drawings to automatically create programs. By importing CAD, PDF, JPEG, and even paper drawings, users can simply select critical dimensions, design values, and tolerances to create a program. The IM-X also uses a programming AI tool called Smart Assist that auto-adjusts focus, light, and edge extraction settings to eliminate guesswork and constant manual tweaks. According to Keyence, operators are able to access expert level programming and optimal performance even with no prior optical metrology experience.
