1 Spark plugs, injectors, spool valves, and engine valves

The advanced capabilities of the system allow up to 300 dimensions to be measured

simultaneously. Measurements compared to pre-set standards and measurements of fine
radii or curved surfaces can be performed all at once.

2 Gears and sprockets

Peak circle diameter, tooth pitch angle, and

concentricity can easily be measured using virtual lines.

3 Oil seals, O-rings, and mechanical seals

Both the inner and outer

diameters, as well as the minimum
and maximum diameters can be
easily measured. Burrs are
automatically recognised and
measured as well.

 METAL COMPONENTS AND
RESIN-MOULDED PARTS EDITION

4 Weatherstripping

Profile tolerance measurements can

be performed easily by making
comparisons with CAD drawings or
a master sample.

5 Springs, screws, and bolts

A variety of measurements such as major diameter, minor

diameter, pitch diameter, pitch, and angle can be
performed instantaneously. The IM Series is also
equipped with a dedicated menu for thread measurement.
5

Electrical component connectors,

6 seatbelt components, and interior components

It is easy to perform measurement for

points where epi-illumination is used.
Lighting conditions are reproduced
automatically.

1 Typical measurements Measurement using reference lines and pitch measurement

The advanced capabilities of the system allow up to 300 dimensions to be measured

simultaneously. Because the illumination conditions are reproduced automatically, it is
possible to perform measurements with no variations between users.

1
Precision pressed parts
2 Typical measurements Measurement using virtual lines, R measurement, and GD&T

A variety of measurement menus are available including measurements

using virtual lines, R measurements, and GD&T. These measurements
can be easily specified with a click of the mouse.

Lead frames
3 Typical measurements Pattern measurement and measurement of positions from reference points

For targets with multiple instances of

the same pattern, batch measurement
makes it possible to measure all the
patterns simultaneously.

 PRECISION ELECTRONICS AND
DEVICE-RELATED COMPONENTS EDITION

Screen glass and protective films

4 Typical measurements Shape measurement and shrinking percentage inspection

For transparent objects,

illumination can be used to
apply contrast, which enables
easy and accurate
measurements.

Camera modules and flexible PCBs

5 Typical measurements Device position misalignment inspection and
positional deviation measurement of mounted components

The IM Series is equipped with an auto-focus function.

Even for targets with steps, focused images can be captured
for each height to enable high-accuracy measurement.

Mounted parts ; ceramic capacitors, crystal oscillators, and ICs

6 Typical measurements Lead measurement and distance measurement for plated parts

The IM Series (high precision model) has achieved a repeatability of 0.1 µm while still
maintaining a streamlined, user-friendly experience. Simply “place and press.”
