EMG SORM

The system uses a confocal chromatic measurement principle, where different wavelengths of light focus at different distances, allowing for precise measurement of the strip's micro profile. This data is used to calculate key roughness parameters such as Ra (arithmetic average roughness), RPc (peak count), and Wsa (waviness). By integrating this solution into a production line with a traversing unit, EMG SORM® provides continuous roughness and waviness monitoring across the entire width and length of the strip, ensuring comprehensive surface quality assessment.

VisionLab-X-300

Equipped with high-resolution cameras and custom lenses, the VisionLab-X-300 handles parts up to 12 inches (300mm) in length and 2 inches (50mm) in diameter, offering precise measurements for complex features (achieving part measurements within two microns). Enhanced slewing optics allow for accurate pitch diameter and root radii measurements, while the bottom vision system—featuring a rotating sapphire stage and LED front lighting—supports thorough inspections of internal and external diameters, concentricity, roundness, thickness, and head stamp details.
