This mark is glued at the places of high temperature and risky, such as cover, shell, lampshade
and so on.

This mark is glued at the places of electricity, signal cable gathered and electrical motor.

Attention of delivery and preservation

1. When moving instrument, please power off, it is prohibited moving the instrument with
electricity.
2. Deliver the instrument carefully to prevent the instrument damage.
It should be put in the original case, obey packing process and adopt sealed packing for
delivery.
3. Put the packing material safely and keeps it away from children to avoid danger.

Instrument working theory

At present, the optic-electricity video measurement technology is one of an advanced and efficient
measuring method; the fig 1 shows its work theory as follow:
Measured work-pieces (placed on work-stage) is illuminated by LED surface light (5) or contour
light (under glass-stage), it has an image via zoom lens (15) and color CCD camera (inside mantle 16),
then produce the image on the PC monitor, it is benchmark measuring that video-reticle is caused
by measuring software, the reticle collimates and measures the work-prices, and movement of
work-stage (13) drives the movement of X,Y-axis linear scales (7 and 14), the linear scales give
birth to analog signals to computer via DRO-board ( produce digital signals), the measuring
software in computer process the data to finish the measuring work.
Video measuring system is made from three key parts:
1) Main body: includes as follows:
Instrument base (10); Pillar (3); Z-axis moving system (2); X, Y work-stage (13) and X, Y drive
stick system (6 and 12).
2) Video System: include as follows:
Zoom lens (15): 0.7X-4.5X, and total magnifications is 30X-230X.
Color CCD camera (inside mantle 16) get the image from Zoom lens, has a image of measured
work-piece and change the video to digital signals, then it transfer the signals to computer color
monitor via S-port.
Color display gives birth to the reticle with edge founder function. Contour light and surface light
has took use of the LED lamp-house, the LED lightness can be adjusted by switch (Fig 3) and the
illumination is better, and LED longevity is 10 times than average bulbs.
3) Digital measuring system, include as follows:
X-axis(14) Y-axis(7) and Z-axis (1) linear scale produce the displacement signals by geometry
movement of work-stage, the signal is collected by measuring software via signal capture card,
and the measuring software show and process the data on the PC.

Uncover and insallation

1. Remove the outside and inside package of instrument, take and read this part for installing
instrument firstly.
2. Place the instrument on a horizontal table, install the base screw and adjust it levelly.
3. Take out the fixed ban of X, Y-axis and glide fixed screw of Z-axis (it is on the mantle), then
X, Y, Z-axis can be droved.
Instrument can work under power supply AC110V-220V, 50-60HZ, after connecting the computer,
turn on the instrument power, if the image and data can be displayed on the monitor, the
installation is finished.
4. Read the operation manual carefully before using.
5. Normally, the authorized distributors will install and check the instrument before the end
customers use it.

3D Video Measuring Machine Instruction Manual

Measuring
Video measuring system has three kinds of measuring methods: the measurement of profile,
and Z -axis measurement. Please read the Software Manual for details.
1. Profile measurement:
Measuring the profile of work-prices, normally, using the contour illumination, if need, please
turn off the surface light source, which will be assistant to improve the clear of image.
2. Surface measurement:
Surface measurement is main function of video measuring system, it nearly can measure all
of the work-pieces under the surface illumination if it can be saw by eye. Such as the pole of
PCB, IC circuit and so on, and it also can measure the black rubber and plastic easily.
3. Probe measurement:
When match with high multiply objective and with enough collimation and location precision,
video measuring system can use Probe to measure, such as measure the height of work piece,
depth, and so on.

Instrument maintenance
Vi d e o m e a s u r i n g s y s t e m i s a p r e c i s i o n i n s t r u m e n t t h a t i n t e g r a t i n g t h e o p t i c , m e c h a n i s m ,
electricity and computer technology. In order to keep the excellent performance, it needs
regular and upstanding maintenance.
1. The instrument should be installed in a clean room, the temperature of which should be
maintained at 20 5 . The relative humidity of the room should not exceed 60 so as to
prevent the molding of optical parts, the rust of metallic parts and the dust drops on the drive
guider to keep the high quality.
2. Once the instrument has been finished using, the surface of work-stage should be cleaned
in soft brushes and covered by dust cover.
3. The drive and movement system should be regularly appended the lube to make the
mechanism movement smooth to keep good using condition.
4. If it is dirty that the glass-stage and paint-surface, it can be cleaned by neutral freshener or
clean water, please dont use organic solvent to brush, or else, the paint-surface will lose the
reflet.
5. LED lamp-house has long longevity; please inform the distributor and professional
engineers instead it if it is bad.
6. The precision parts of instrument, such as video system, work-stage, linear scale and Z-axis
drive system have been precision adjusted in the factory, adjust screws and fixation screws
are riveted in the factory, dont unbendingly take it out. If there are some problems, please
get in touch with the distributor for after sales.
7. The error compensation of measuring software has been enacted; please dont change it,
or else, it will give rise t to inaccurate measuring results.
8. Dont unbendingly take out the electric connectors, if it has already been took, please plug
it into the right port, or else, there is possibility to make the instrument bad.
