Basic Video Measuring Machine (VMM)
Basic Video Measuring Machine (VMM)
A Basic Video Measuring Machine (VMM) simplifies dimensional inspection for routine quality control. The QualiVMM™ Basic Series is designed with a rigid granite base, sharp digital imaging, and adjustable lighting control to keep daily measurements accurate and repeatable. The range includes compact benchtop systems for small components as well as larger-stage models for bigger parts and higher inspection volume.
What is a Basic Video Measuring Machine (VMM)?
A Vision Measuring Machine (VMM) uses a high-resolution camera and zoom optics to capture and measure 2D features directly from a live image. It is widely used to evaluate lengths, diameters, radii, angles, and feature positions with reliable edge detection and optimized lighting conditions. A basic VMM is ideal for labs that need dependable visual measurement without the added complexity of CNC vision systems.
Key Features of the QualiVMM™ Basic Series
- Granite Structure: Minimizes vibration and improves measurement stability and repeatability
- High-Resolution Imaging: Zoom lens and digital camera deliver clear visuals for precise edge detection
- LED Lighting Control: Adjustable illumination enhances contrast across various materials and surfaces
- User-Friendly Software: iMeasuring software supports efficient and consistent QC workflows
Available Models in the Basic VMM Range
The QualiVMM™ Basic Series includes four core configurations:
- QualiVMM™ Basic 150 Series – Manual system with a compact stage for small parts
- QualiVMM™ Basic 200 Series – Compact manual platform for routine inspection tasks
- QualiVMM™ Basic 300 Series – Extended travel range with upgrade flexibility
- QualiVMM™ Basic 400 Series – Larger stage designed for bigger components
Upgrade Options for Future Needs
Start with a manual VMM and expand capabilities as requirements grow. Selected models support:
- Contact probing for 3D measurement
- Autofocus modules for semi-automatic operation
This flexible approach keeps the initial setup simple while allowing future enhancements.
How to Choose the Right VMM Model
- Small parts & limited space: Go with QualiVMM™ Basic 150 or 200 Series
- Larger components or higher volume: Choose QualiVMM™ Basic 300 or 400 Series for extended travel and scalability
You can filter models based on travel range, stage size, and configuration (2D, 2.5D, probing, semi-automatic) to match your inspection requirements.
