PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1
Overview
The MVR Series of advanced benchtop manual video metrology system consists of two base
models: the MVR200 with 200 x 100 x 200 mm (
8” x 4” x 8”) of X-Y-Z travel, and the MVR300 with
300 x 200 x 200 mm (
12” x 8” x 8”) of X-Y-Z travel.
Both MVR models feature a granite base for stability, recirculating ball linear guides for smooth
stage motion, and a motorized Z-axis. All electronics other than in the
system’s PC are housed in
the Z-column, providing a clean, integrated system with minimal external wiring. Two high-speed
data cables carry all signals between the metrology unit and PC. Superb metrology performance
is provided by 0.5 micron resolution linear encoders, a high-resolution color video camera, two-
channel LED lighting, and precision optics, which can be 6.5:1 manual zoom optics or any of six
telecentric lenses for field-of-view (FOV) measurements. FOV measurements can encompass an
entire small part up to 2.00” x 1.50” or a feature of a larger part and be seamlessly integrated with
stage motion to measure parts with a length up to 200 mm (MVR200) or 300 mm (MVR300).
The operator interface is a 21.5
” all-in-one touch screen PC which runs MetLogix M3 FOV soft-
ware under Windows® 7 Professional. This software supports 3-axis measurements and 2D
geometrical constructs (points, lines, angles, rectangles). The screen displays a live video image
of the part plus geometry tools and digital readings. The image of the part can be resized using
zoom, and measurements can be taken by simply tapping a feature on the screen. A keyboard
and a wireless mouse are also provided, and are used for file operations.
With the M3 DXF/FOV option pack, DXF CAD files can be imported over a network and be auto-
matically compared to actual measurements.

MVR Options
The MVR Series is available as basic MVR200 or MVR300 systems with factory installed manual
zoom optics, and as MVR200 or MVR300 FOV systems with a bayonet lens mount for quick
change of optics by the user.
The basic MVR200 and MVR300 systems come with a 1 Mpixel color video camera and 6.5:1
manually adjustable zoom optics. Two-channel illumination is provided by an LED ring light and
collimated LED sub-stage lighting.
The MVR200 FOV and MVR300 FOV systems come with a 2 Mpixel color video camera and
a bayonet lens mount which accepts a 6.5:1 manual zoom lens or any of six available fixed
magnification telecentric lenses (0.30X, 0.50X, 0.80X, 1.0X, 2.0X, 4.0X), where the stated
magnification is the image size on the camera CCD divided by the corresponding object size.
Options include auxiliary lenses for the zoom optics (0.5X, 1.5X, 2.0X), a choice of NIST-traceable
calibration standards, and an ergonomic workstation.
