IM-6000 Offers Breakthrough in Dimensional Measurement and Inspection Technology
⚠️ Editor's Note: This product has been discontinued and is no longer available. It has been succeeded by newer models in the IM line. Visit Keyence for more information. This page is for reference only.
The new IM-6000 Series is a revolutionary step forward in the field of high-precision dimension inspection. Innovative Pattern Registration and Pattern Search functions provide simplified “Place and Press” measurement operation.
The IM-6000 eliminates the need for optical comparators, x-y stages for part positioning, CNC measuring devices, as well as measuring and stereo microscopes. The unique system has virtually unlimited applications in a diverse range of industrial categories and company sizes. Small to medium-sized tooling and machine shops, to large semiconductor, automotive, and aerospace manufacturing, inspection, and assembly operations, will benefit from this versatile system.
Using the IM-6000 is quick and easy. Parts to be measured are placed on the IM’s sample tray, and the measurement button is pressed. No careful positioning of a part is necessary. An Intelligent Pattern Analysis Search System (iPASS) quickly and automatically locates, identifies, and measures parts placed anywhere within the unit's 100 mm field of view, thus eliminating the need for an x-y stage.
A Part Evaluation Library stores the images, measurement functions, and specifications of parts and provides automatic Pattern Search, part recognition, and measurement without setting up the next time inspection of the same parts is performed.
Designed to meet the needs of a broad range of industries, the IM-6000 offers significant cost savings through the reduction of time and labor. The IM-6000 not only increases throughput but also provides a major improvement in the precision and quantity of obtainable data. The system eliminates the tedious setup and measurement time of conventional systems, allowing users to begin collecting data in just minutes following setup.
The IM-6000 quickly performs up to 99 distinct measurements with the press of a button. High precision image acquisition and Sub-Pixel processing allow measurement of features that were previously impossible to inspect with traditional dimensional measurement systems. Measurements such as angle, radius, inner/outer diameter, circular and linear pitch are only a small example of the IM’s capabilities. Sophisticated image processing using such functions as least square fitting and abnormal data point removal provides highly accurate and reliable data.
