Starrett AVX550: CNC video metrology system boosts quality control

The Starrett AVX550 is a versatile, high-precision CNC automatic vision dimensional metrology system designed for inspecting large, complex parts in lab, research, engineering and manufacturing environments. Available in the UK from Optimax, it combines advanced optical imaging with touch-probe capabilities, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that include aerospace, automotive and medical device manufacturing.

Providing large-format measurements with X-Y-Z travel of 550 x 400 x 250mm, the AVX550 accommodates sizable components with intricate features. A huge range of options are available when configuring an AVX550, from dual camera inputs and ergonomic workstation to quadrant LED surface illumination and auxiliary lens options. AVX models utilise linear guide X-Y transport for smooth, high-speed positioning driven by precision lead screws and servo motors.

Intuitive MetLogix M3 software supports video edge detection, CAD file import/export and automatic part recognition, streamlining the measurement and inspection process.
