Keyence Introduces the Multisensor Measurement System

Keyence has introduced the LM-X multisensor measuring solution, which combines optical, laser, and touch-probe measurements in a single compact instrument.

The Keyence LM-X Series multisensor measurement system offers high accuracy with easy button-press operation. No time-consuming component positioning or fixturing is required. Regardless of where the part is put on the stage, the system recognises and measures its position and orientation automatically. The system is simple to install and operate, allowing anyone to obtain highly precise measurements and inspection reports.

Simply place the part on the stage and press a button to conduct high-accuracy measurement. There are three measurement options: high-accuracy picture measurement, non-contact height measurement using a multi-color laser, and contact measurement using a 3D touch probe. The LM-X series significantly reduces the time required to measure complex parts and guarantees accurate measurements with no variation between results received by various operators.

The built-in low-pressure touch probe can detect optically challenging part features, allowing 3D inspection of three-dimensional parts. The ultra-high resolution 20-megapixel CMOS sensor, combined with a high-resolution double telecentric lens, allows reliable edge detection and clear capturing of measurement locations down to the smallest detail with a repeatability of 0.1 m. The programmable ring-illumination unit combines numerous ring illumination functions into a single unit, allowing for accurate and stable measurement by adjusting the illumination to the measurement position and part.
