This section provides the following information:
•
An overview of the AVR systems
•
A description of the features and capabilities of the AVR systems
•
A description of the configuration options
•
A description of the major components of the AVR systems
3.1 Overview
The AVR systems provide a comprehensive CNC metrology solution for dimensional
measurement and inspection applications where high accuracy, extended travel, and a stable
base for multi-sensor measurements are required. The systems are available in two sizes:
the AVR200 with 200 x 100 x 200 millimeters (8 x 4 x 8 inches) of X-Y-Z travel and the
AVR300 with 300 x 200 x 200 millimeters (12 x 8 x 8 inches) of X-Y-Z travel.
3.2 Features and Capabilities
The AVR systems include the following features and capabilities:
•
Includes a granite base for stability, recirculating ball linear guides for smooth and precise
stage motion, and full CNC control.
•
All electronics, other than the PC system, are housed in the Z-column, providing a clean,
integrated system with minimal external wiring. Two high-speed data cables carry all
signals between the metrology unit and PC.
•
Includes the following color video camera options:
•
1.3 megapixel (MP) camera with the standard configuration
•
2 megapixel (MP) camera with the FOV configuration
•
5 megapixel (MP) camera with the 0.14X telecentric lens configuration
•
Metrology performance is provided by linear encoders with 0.1 micron resolution and by
precision optics, which can be 6.5:1 or 12:1 motorized zoom optics, manual 6.5:1 zoom
optics, or numerous telecentric lenses for accurate field-of-view (FOV) measurements.
•
FOV measurements can encompass an entire small part up to 2.00 x 1.50 inches or a
feature of a larger part and be seamlessly integrated with stage motion to measure parts
with a length up to 200 mm (AVR200) or 300 mm (AVR300).
•
24-inch touch screen monitor and small form factor PC (system PC) which runs MetLogix
M3 CNC software under Windows® 10.
•
Ergonomic workstation and easy to use operator controls
•
Optional rotary stage that provides increased workpiece holding versitility.
•
Optional touch probe that is ideal to measure the height of flat surfaces or the lateral
position of vertical surfaces at different heights.
