2026-02-20 12:29:23
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.
• 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.
