Brand comparison and selection suggestions
Brand Country/Region Accuracy Range Price Range Applicable Scenarios Mitutoyo Japan within ±1μm high automotive, semiconductor Zeiss Germany within ±0.5μm very high precision optics, semiconductor Olympus Japan ±1~2μm medium and high electronics, hardware Kuexun Zhike China ±1~3μm medium 3C. Mold and general manufacturing Sirui Measurement China’s ±1~3μm medium electronics and precision machining selection recommendations: International brands are preferred for high precision and high stability requirements; for small and medium-sized enterprises with limited budgets and need for quick response and technical support, domestic high-quality brands are a more cost-effective choice.FAQ
How to differentiate the accuracy of image measuring instruments?
The accuracy of image measuring instruments is usually divided into three levels: high-precision type (±0.5~1μm), suitable for semiconductor and precision optics fields; standard precision type (±1~2μm), which meets most electronic and hardware inspection needs; economical type (±2~5μm), suitable for general dimensional inspection.When purchasing, the corresponding accuracy level should be matched according to the actual workpiece tolerance requirements.
What is the main difference between domestic image measuring instruments and imported brands?
The main differences between domestic and imported brands are reflected in three aspects: optical system stability, software algorithm maturity and long-term reliability.Imported brands have deeper accumulation in core optical components and measurement software, and their equipment has longer service life; domestic brands have obvious advantages in cost performance, localized services and customized development, and the mid-range market is close to the international level.
How to choose an image measuring instrument brand suitable for your enterprise?
When selecting, the measurement accuracy requirements, workpiece type, budget range, after-sales service response speed and software function matching should be comprehensively considered.It is recommended to clarify your own testing needs first, then compare the actual measurement results of prototypes of 2 to 3 brands, and also examine the brand's application cases in the same industry to ensure that the equipment can meet long-term production needs.
What is the difference between fully automatic and semi-automatic image measuring instruments?
The fully automatic image measuring instrument is equipped with an automatic lifting platform and an automatic focusing system, which can realize unattended batch inspection and is suitable for mass production environments. Semi-automatic equipment requires manual placement of workpieces, but the measurement process is automated, and is suitable for small and medium-sized batches or sample inspections.Enterprises should make reasonable choices based on production capacity needs and testing frequency.
What should we pay attention to in the daily maintenance of image measuring instruments?
Routine maintenance mainly includes: keeping the working environment clean and constant temperature, regularly calibrating measurement accuracy, cleaning optical lenses and glass platforms, and checking the lubrication status of moving parts.It is recommended to perform professional calibration every six months and replace the light source bulb once a year to extend the service life of the equipment and ensure accurate and reliable measurement data.
What is the after-sales service of the Kuehne Satellite Image Measuring Instrument?
Dexun Intelligent Technology provides nationwide joint warranty services and is equipped with a professional technical support team. The response time is usually within 24 hours.The service content covers equipment installation and commissioning, operation training, regular calibration and fault repair. It also provides software upgrades and customized development support to meet the long-term use needs of different customers.
