Methods Machine Tools Inc. recently announced new software enhancements to VisionX’s VisionGauge OnLine machine vision software for automated inspection, verification and data collection.
Methods says one of the main upgrades improves the speed and usability of the five-axis VisionGauge Digital Optical Comparator 700 series for measurement and inspection. The upgrade gives users two options to supply the measurement system with hole coordinate data directly from a electric discharge machining (EDM) drill, laser or machine tool. Once transferred from the machine to the Digital Optical Comparator 700 Series, users can display the data using a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software package.
