Vision Engineering announces the launch of VE Cam, a compact digital microscope for a wide range of applications.
VE Cam is available in two variants with differing fields of view (FOV). VE Cam 50 (50 mm FOV) and VE Cam 80 (80 mm FOV) are said to offer the power, speed and efficiency of digital imaging in a compact package.
The VE Cam enables users to do more within a smaller footprint making it ideal for many routine inspection tasks. The VE Cam is stand alone and does not require a PC, keyboard or mouse. In addition, Wi-Fi screen sharing enables results to be shared wirelessly to smart devices and displays with screen mirroring.
Enhanced productivity features are said to include 10 user programmable presets, six hotkeys for instant one touch access to most commonly used presets and a configurable interface which allows most commonly used settings to be shown direct on the screen.
According to Vision Engineering, the new VE Cam is a complete standalone inspection microscope for circuit board examination, printed circuit board (PCB) debug activities or for discovering imperfections, and to trace problems in a wide range of industrial applications. The microscope is said to be suitable for manufacturing electronics, plastics, ceramics, mechanical engineering and additive manufacturing.
Paul Newbatt, Vision Engineering’s group sales and marketing director states, “Both the VE Cam 50 and VE Cam 80 utilize digital technologies which support immediate information capture and viewing across teams. For example, WiFi image mirroring means colleagues and supervisors can view live images without interrupting workflow, therefore improving efficiency.”
