Starrett HDV300 Video Measurement to DXF Files with an Optical Comparator

The Starrett HDV300 Video Measurement System provides video measurement on an optical comparator - it displays part profiles on a high resolution monitor instead of the familiar circular optical profile projector screen. Equally at home on the shopfloor or inspection room, this comparator inspects parts directly to a DXF CAD file instead of mylar overlays. This is a vision metrology system with a horizontal benchtop optical comparator layout. Its touchscreen M3 Control offers powerful, easy to use features.

CMM Basics: 3-axis vs 5-axis coordinate measurement machine technology

Traditionally, there’s been a speed vs accuracy compromise when it comes to inspection on co-ordinate measuring machines. Some CMMs can move pretty fast, but when it comes to scanning a part feature, they’re slowed right down to minimize any dynamic errors associated with the inertia of the large mass machine elements.
