V-12B Series
Nikon's V-12B benchtop optical profile projectors offer superb image quality and precise X-Y measurement (optionally angular measurement) capabilities. The image of the sample is displayed on a 305mm screen, enabling accurate data capture from the stage.
High Precision Construction Provides Accurate Measurement Results
The V-12B series of optical profile projectors provides excellent measurement accuracy for industrial in-line and quality assurance applications.
Inspect, measure and verify 2D and angular features on a wide range of components.
Large 12” (305mm) Projection Screen
The V-12B profile projector series boasts a 12” (305mm) glass projection screen mounted on a body of outstanding strength and build quality.
Optical Head Focusing
Focusing on the component is achieved by moving the optical head, not the stage assembly, providing far higher precision, accuracy and repeatability.
Telecentric Projection Lenses
Seven telecentric lenses from 5x to 200x with five intermediate values provide the capability for measuring a wide variety of component sizes and feature dimensions.
Upright, Right-Way-Around Projected Image
The V-12B projects a true image of the component surface onto the large glass screen. There is no loss of image sharpness.
Capable of Measuring Large and Heavy Components
Operator advantages result from the optical head focusing design. They include the ability to inspect larger components weighing up to 20kg using X-Y stage travels to a maximum of 250 x 150mm and 100mm in height above the measuring stage glass.
Date Processing Unit DP-E1 and E-Max Software
Nikon’s DP-E1 data processing unit combines accuracy with easy of use. Teaching and measurement files can be exported by USB stick. Nikon’s E-Max software provides metrology support via a common GUI by processing measurement data and exporting results.
* Retrofit Counter/DP unit is also required.
Measuring Stages with Fine Rotation Control Function.
From the full stage range, the two largest stages have a rotation function. Achieving precise component alignment over long measuring distances even when measuring samples up to 20kg, enabling faster and more efficient measuring.
