Q1: What is a video measuring machine?
A1: A video measuring machine (VMM), also known as a vision measurement system, is a non-contact inspection device that uses optical imaging and software algorithms to measure the dimensions of parts with high precision. It typically includes a camera, zoom lens, light source, and motorized stage, making it ideal for measuring micro-scale or delicate components in electronics, semiconductors, and precision machining.
Q2: What is the use of the VMM machine?
A2: VMM machines are used for accurate dimensional inspection and quality control in applications where high-resolution, non-contact measurement is required. They are widely used in PCB inspection, semiconductor packaging, medical devices, 3C electronics, and automotive parts to check features like length, diameter, flatness, and alignment.
Q3: How accurate is machine vision?
A3: Modern video measuring machines offer micron or sub-micron range accuracy, depending on the system configuration and measurement conditions. Advanced models ( such as SISCO's automatic video measuring machine) can achieve measurement accuracy as high as ≤3μm + L/200 and repeatability of ≤3μm, making them highly reliable for inspecting critical components.
Tips: What is the difference between VMM and CMM?
While both Video Measuring Machines (VMMs) and Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) are used for dimensional inspection, their working principles and applications differ:
- VMM uses a camera and optics for non-contact 2D or 2.5D measurements, ideal for small, delicate, or soft components such as PCBs, wafers, or smartphone parts.
- CMM typically uses a tactile probe for 3D contact measurement, suitable for metal parts, castings, and mechanical components with deeper geometries.
VMMs excel in speed and resolution, especially for intricate features, while CMMs offer robust 3D volumetric measurement for heavier parts. Choosing the right system depends on your part type, required precision, and production needs.
