New Falcon video measuring microscope flies into production

With over 50 years of proven optical experience, Vision Engineering has packed massive technical capabilities into the new Falcon 3-axis non-contact video measuring system, delivering performance you would expect to find on systems many times the price.

Designed to be simple, but powerful, accurate, but affordable, Falcon is suitable for both multi-user shop-floor use and advanced manufacturing inspection applications, delivering accurate results with complete confidence.

Focusing on accuracy, Falcon employs high resolution indexed zoom optics (up to 100x magnification) to provide enhanced component edge definition, with a unique indexed camera iris control to reduce depth of field, increasing accuracy and repeatability of Z-axis results, a common complaint of video systems.

Even as a compact unit with a small footprint, Falcon incorporates many more advanced features, designed to simplify operation and increase accuracy, including controllable quadrant LED illumination and motorized Z-axis control.

Vision Engineering’s renowned precision measuring stages provide a measurement capacity of up to 150 x 150 x 115mm (X, Y, Z) and include factory-completed NLEC calibration, as standard.

With a powerful, yet intuitive touch-screen colour display, the built-in simplicity means that expensive training costs are minimised, with automatic video edge detection ensuring reproducible measurement results, irrespective of the operator.

Pre-launch introductions of Falcon will be held at Control (Stuttgart, Germany), MTA (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) and NPE (Chicago, USA).
