The vision sensor is the image-processing measurement sensor for Optiv measuring machines. It can perform non-contact measurements on the smallest features subject to the tightest tolerances, accomplishing the sort of tasks that could not be accomplished with a probe, while avoiding deformations of the inspected part often caused by mechanical probes. The object being measured is captured through the lens on a matrix camera (CCD camera). The optical signals are converted into a digital image and further processed to calculate the coordinates of the measured points by the imaging processing routines in the PC-DMIS Vision measurement software package.
