Metlogix M3 with Mitutoyo QI-C Motorized Vision System
March 1, 2026
Mitutoyo America Corporation has announced the Mitutoyo Quick Image (QI-C) Motorized Vision Measuring System with the Metlogix M3 software. This latest enhancement follows M3 integration with manual QI systems. The motorized stage on the QI-C offers faster, hands-free stitching and positioning along with precision and efficiency of noncontact measurements.
The integration of Metlogix M3 software transforms the Quick Image system, which offers enhanced accuracy and optics in a more robust tool for noncontact measurements. The M3 software introduces an intuitive, icon-driven interface designed for simplicity and speed.
According to the company, key features of the Metlogix M3 software with Quick Image:
- Pattern-based measurements: The M3 software provides pattern-based tools designed to simplify the measurement process, making it easier to automatically locate and measure parts
- Advanced video probes: The software's advanced video edge detection tools, such as EyeMeasure and MeasureLogic, enable fast, accurate edge and feature capture; the VTouch probe brings increased functionality by allowing video-based measurement for quick acquisition of individual points
- Field of view measurement: Metlogix's field of view (FOV) functionality automates part measurements by simply placing multiple parts in the camera's view. The system detects, measures, and displays results without the need for operator intervention, streamlining the inspection process.
- SuperImage stitching: For larger workpieces up to 400 mm, the Quick Image stitches multiple FOV
- 90 mm working distance: The Quick Image system utilizes a long 90 mm working distance to capture and stitch multiple frames into a single image with Metlogix's SuperImage feature. This function enhances accuracy and clarity over larger areas while allowing flexible, soft fixture setups for repeated measurements.
With the enhanced capabilities of the M3 software, the Quick Image system can support a wide range of workpiece sizes, measuring up to 400 mm with its stage stitching function. This means that manufacturers can measure larger components with precision and efficiency.
