Image Multi-AutoFocus: The optimal focus can be selected for each surface texture and measured feature, realizing high reproducibility and reliable edge detection.

Programmable Ring Light (PRL): Fine control of obliquity and direction provides illumination optimal for measurement. Obliquity can be arbitrarily set in the range from 30° to 80°. This type of illumination is effective for enhancing the edge of inclined surfaces or very small steps. Illumination can be controlled independently in every direction, front and back, right and left. Measurement with edge enhancement is possible by forming a shadow with lighting from only one direction.

Tracking Auto Focus (TAF): The TAF feature focuses continuously, adjusting to changes in the height of the object being measured. Automatic tracking of surface waves and warpage (in the Z-axis height direction) improves measurement throughput. The feature also eliminates the hassle of focusing during manual measurement.

The QV Apex 404 and QV Apex 606 X-axis and Y-axis drive speeds reach 400 mm/second. This greatly contributes to throughput improvement particularly for workpieces that involve a large range of travel.

This model is equipped with the tracking focus function that allows continuous focusing in response to change in workpiece height. This results in improved measurement throughput.

QV Series standard models range in size from compact to large

The accuracy of the Apex model conforms to ISO10360-7:2011
