Applications

Where optical measurement creates value

Non-contact optical measurement of flexible plastic part in Micro-Vu vision system

Plastics and Flexible Materials

The perfect solution for measuring parts that deform easily to the touch. Rubbers, thin polymers, membranes, and O-rings are inspected without any contact force, ensuring that the result is not distorted by the measurement process itself.

Micro-Vu Vertex vision measuring system inspecting micro-electronic components

Micro-Components and Electronics

Through advanced programmable illumination and precise edge detection algorithms, the system captures microscopic details on printed circuit boards (PCBs), semiconductors, connectors, and stamped parts with sub-micrometre accuracy.

Micro-Vu VF7 measuring multiple parts simultaneously on a glass base

Batch Inspection and Automation

Ideal for inspecting dozens of parts simultaneously. Place the parts on the glass base and the vision system automatically recognises, aligns, and measures each component in a matter of seconds, continuously generating approval reports.

What is an optical measuring machine?

An optical measuring machine is a coordinate measuring machine that uses high-resolution cameras, telecentric optics, and controlled illumination to determine dimensions, forms, and positions without any physical contact with the part. Image processing detects edges with sub-pixel resolution, allowing thousands of micro-features to be measured in seconds and everything to be objectively and repeatably documented.

In Micro-Vu systems, optical vision coexists in the same reference frame with optional laser sensors and tactile probes, all controlled by InSpec software. Thus, each dimension is measured with the most appropriate sensor in a single programme, combining the speed of optics with the robustness of tactile measurement — essential in electronics, medical devices, technical plastics, and turned parts. S4METRO is a Micro-Vu partner in Portugal.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about vision metrology, non-contact inspection and the Micro-Vu ecosystem. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us.

Optical measurement is mandatory when the part is too small for a traditional probe, when the material is soft (and deforms on contact), or when you need to quickly inspect multiple 2D and 3D dimensions in high-volume production.
On the contrary. Micro-Vu equipment uses InSpec software, widely recognised in the metrology industry for its intuitive interface. It allows for programming complex measurement routines via point-and-click, automatically managing illumination, and directly exporting data to CAD and quality systems.
High-resolution optical vision is the primary technology, but Micro-Vu machines (such as the Vertex and Excel series) are multi-sensor platforms. They can also be equipped with additional tactile probes and laser sensors, allowing hidden geometries and complex heights (Z-axis) to be measured in a single programme.
S4METRO is a Micro-Vu partner in Portugal. We support everything from technical advice between the Vertex (benchtop) and Excel (large-capacity gantry) ranges, to installation, calibration and specialised training in InSpec software for your team.
