FRAMOS announced the release of FSM:GO – a comprehensive series of deployable optical sensor modules enabling machines to see and think.

Step into the optical metrology world and one thing is clear. This vibrant business sector continues to innovate new designs of portable coordinate measuring machines (PCMMs) for the inspection of large components and fixtures.

New computer vision applications are obtaining maximum image quality by combining high resolution, low-flare lenses with large format, high resolution global shutter sensors.

Manufactured parts need to be measured to ensure they meet the original design intent. Modern manufacturing techniques allow complex parts to be made that can have numerous critical dimensions.

During the past 25 years, coordinate measuring machine (CMM) sensor technology has expanded from tactile and scanning systems to now include optical, laser and surface finish sensors, effectively expanding the CMM’s capabilities.

Multisensor systems have come a long way since the introduction of video measurement back in the 1970s. 

OD precision optical displacement sensors connect three sensors to one controller, which reduces the amount of hardware required and eases the measurement of X-, Y- and Z-axes.
