OPERATOR INTERFACE

 

M1 Touchscreen Readout 

The MetLogix™ M1 touchscreen readout offers a rich graphics display, large icon buttons and intuitive operation. Easy part alignment and datum functions plus coordinate displays for X and Y linear axes and Q angular values for screen rotation. MetLogix M1™ operates on an Android operating system and uses a Bluetooth connection to the host optical comparator.

 

M2 Touchscreen Readout  

The MetLogix™ M2 readout has a broad range of powerful, userfriendly functions on a compact, icon based touchscreen PC interface in place of the traditional control.

 

Quadra-chek® Readouts 

Quadra-Chek® readouts are considered an industry standard for the precision measurement and inspection of geometric components. Their design reflects a deep understanding of user needs, with an intuitive user interface and simple, meaningful visual displays; innovations that improve operator productivity, reduce errors and save time and money

Field of View Terminology

 

Working Distance:	Is the distance between the objective lens and the component when the component is in focus
Field Of View (FOV):	Is the viewable area. To fill the 16" (400mm) diameter screen when using a 10x lens, the maximum diameter object projected would be 1.6" (40mm).
Half Field View:	Is the maximum size a component can be projected to the center of the screen before colliding with the lens.
Full Field of View:	Is the maximum size a component can be projected over the full screen before colliding with the lens.
Projected Image:	Is how a component is projected onto the screen in relation to  its placement on the workstage.
