An off-axis inspection module that enables you to see what you are doing - whilst you do it.

Key Features

• Sharp focus over the whole imaged area
• Eliminates keyhole distortion
• Unimpeded access for large diameter laser beams and tooling
• 40X CCTV magnification
• 10 µm resolution
• 4 x 6 mm viewing area
• Standard 12-inch camera format
• Iris for depth of field/intensity control
• Optional laser filters can be built in

Viewing a part from an off-axis position generally leads to keyhole distortion of the image, loss of focus in parts of the image, or a combination of both. The VU1/1 uses the century-old Scheimpflug principle to correct these defects producing an in-focus, undistorted image of the complete process area.

For objects with depth relief, the 23° angle of incidence viewing offset provides useful perspective of the part, greatly aiding interpretation of features.
