VIDEO CHECK ROLL-Z PROFESSIONAL (VCR-ZP)

Video Check Roll-Z Professional (VCR-ZP)

The VCR-ZP is a compact colour videomicroscope completely motorized, entirely in aluminium with automatic focusing with step of 1 micron, able to make magnifications between 30X and 2350X (referred to a 14" monitor) on flat and curved surfaces.

The precision of the measurements on Z axis is very very high (2 micron at 1500x), if coupled with our Video View Basic software, which manages the focusing too.

The VCR-ZP can be connected to PC or laptop through its USB camera and make measurements, comparisons and archievements of the images in live.

The micrometrical shifting (10 mm) on X and Y axis of the optical-video header is guaranteed by a stand of high precision on issue, while magnetic power rollers are available, in order to allow, where possible, a stable and safe positioning.

The VCR-ZP is complete of an annular light system with the possibility of changing the corner of origin of the same light in 14 different positions, that will allow the operator also to have a three-dimensional vision of the surfaces under examination.

The focusing in the VCR-ZP system can be done in an automatical, semiautomatical or manual mode depending on the precision and the speed of execution you wish to obtain.

The VCR-ZP is a modular device, it can use the wide range of accessories available for the VCR series, that makes it extremely interesting also in particular applications that only very expensive laboratory videomicroscopes could satisfy.

The use of this videomicroscope directly on the production in the metallographic field is possible thanks to the availability of a kit for coaxial light which allows the vision and the measurements of cracks and various faults on the surfaces of the metals.

Used a lot in the graphic sector of the chalcography for the measurement and check of the engravings for the banknotes printing.

ANNULAR LIGHT

Shaded parts
(no visible)
Luminous rays coming from an irregular surface
Lighted parts
(visible)
Reflected rays forming the visible image

The lighting is supplied by a luminous source which is placed as a ring around the lens. The vision of the object through the lens gives a soft image as the rays are reflected and absorbed in different manners by the various surfaces.
This type of lighting is the most used one as it fits to a greater extent of surfaces of different materials.

COAXIAL LIGHT

The lighting goes through the same axis of the lens.
The light comes perpendicularly on the surface of the object creating a hard image; this is due to the complete return of rays coming from flat surfaces and of those reflecting from slanting surfaces. This system is perfect to visualize engravings of metallic objects.

WORKING WITH "ANNULAR LIGHT PROFESSIONAL"

The possibility of inspecting any type of surface with all the wide range of available objectives of the VCR series (25X/2350X) and of the high definition series (LDH), will give a safe certainty to the operator to be able to use his device in almost all the occasions.

The difference between the set for annular light Professional and the annular light Lite one is the possibility, for the Professional, of selecting 14 different angulations of origin of the lightings around the subject so as to be able to search every particular and make the image visible and stereoscopic as in the example:

The use of the angulated light is suggested also to give prominence to the harshnesses or the conformation of the various surfaces.
