Investing in Quality Assurance

Visibly smarter

Nowack GmbH have once again invested in the quality assurance of their product portfolio by purchasing a Mitutoyo Hyper Quick Vision measuring system and thus expanding their quality management programme. The system is ideal for the economical measurement of large-sized batch production runs. It will further reinforce the high quality standards of Nowack’s plastic components – much to the continued satisfaction of Nowack’s numerous customers.

The operating features of the Mitutoyo Hyper Quick Vision system are outstanding in every respect and include particularly true image representation for optical 3D - CNC measurement, extended edge detection with surface structure analysis and pattern projection for focussing of low-contrast surfaces. Special features of the lighting technology are four-colour LED coaxial lighting and four-colour LED ring lighting (RGB + white), which result in more accurate representation of contrasts. These colour LEDs behave like colour filters and in this way improve the measurement of coloured plastic components. Thanks to quick and precise triangular pattern projection, focussing and detail detection even on low-contrast or highly reflective surfaces is totally unproblematic.

QVPAK, the image-processing software developed by Mitutoya, with intuitive user interface, is of course provided with the system. All functions such as lighting control, magnification or part programming can be performed using the mouse. Familiarisation times are thus kept to a minimum – a further factor contributing to cost effectiveness. QVPAK software expansion modules allow for the system to be further customised according to the user’s task or application.
