LS-9000 High Speed Multiaxis Optical Micrometer
The LS-9000 series optical micrometer sets a new standard for high-speed and high-precision diameter inspection. With a standard sampling rate of 16,000 Hz, the system is designed to keep up with any production line while maintaining an industry-leading repeatability of 1.2 millionths of an inch (0.03 µm).
In addition, the system had been designed from the ground up with durability and ease of use in mind and incorporates several features to both simplify setup and reduce the cost of ownership. With a newly designed LED system and HS-CMOS, the LS-9000 eliminates errors that were previously endemic to optical micrometers.
Not only can the system keep up with modern high-throughput production, but the enhanced sampling rate virtually eliminates the effects of target vibration on the measurement value. The level of performance achieved by the LS-9000 system allows it to monitor even the tightest production tolerances. The LS-9000 series incorporates no moving parts in its design. This not only almost eliminates the wear and tear common to traditional systems, but it also allows the system to be far more resistant to common production floor mishaps.
Incorporating a custom-designed vibration isolation system within the head, the LS-9000 can resist damage from vibration and impact.
As with all Keyence systems, the LS-9000 incorporates features designed to greatly simplify implementation and reduce setup time. Available with both a target monitor and tilt correction function, users are able to see the position of the target in the measurement axis in real time via an integrated CMOS camera, as well as correct for any misalignment in the part due to imperfect part presentation.
