Project X is an advanced vision system for non-contact shop floor measurement and features Aberlink's powerful vision software plus a host of easy-to-use inspection tools.

KEYFEATURES

  • Fully automated CNC, or manual, non-contact inspection for small and delicate parts
  • Small enough to be positioned on the production workbench
  • Aberlink's easy-to-use vision measurement software (now standard on many OEM systems)
  • High speed optical scanning - up to 5000 points/second
  • Generous measurement area and stand off, ideal for measuring over tall features
  • Robust outer casing protects the system from damage and contamination
  • Fully programmable digital zoom, no need to change lenses
  • Directional overhead lights and back light provide profile and surface feature inspection
  • No need to clamp the part, the camera moves in, over and around the part
  • Easy-to-use measurement software with powerful edge detection tools for maximum accuracy
  • Fine adjust hand wheels for manual operation
  • Measures accurately even when the feature is not in focus
  • High performance air bearing design with integral air compressor

The Project X is supplied as a complete package with everything you need to start measuring parts from day one.

STANDARDPACKAGE

  • Computer system, keyboard, mouse, colour printer and 22” flat screen monitor
  • Aberlink 3D measurement software user guide
  • Project X advanced vision measurement system
  • Project X user guide
  • Aberlink 2048x1536 pixel colour camera and telecentric lens
  • Programmable back light and overhead LED ring-light
  • Post installation on-site verification test
  • User training course - 2 trainees, 2 days
  • 12 months applications telephone helpdesk support

An optional stand is also available for the Project X

The Project X is supplied with Aberlink's high resolution colour camera and telecentric lens with directional ring lighting.

SPECIFICATION

  • Sensor 3 Mega pixel high speed colour camera
  • Stand off 125mm
  • Field of view 10mm
  • Resolution 2048 x 1536 (QXGA)
  • Pixel Size 4.8μm x 4.8μm

LIGHTING

  • Backlight Glass stage with programmable intensity
  • Overhead LED light ring with programmable direction and intensity

TELECENTRICLENS

The telecentric lens can measure features accurately even when they are out of focus. The lens maintains a consistent magnification at all distances and creates images of the same size for objects at any distance. As a result blurry images are the same size as correctly focused images.
