4 Starting up the MicroVu Vision Machine: Push the Power Switch on the Machine. (Some Machine have a switch in the back/side) and some machines have an additional button in the front) Push the Power Switch on the Front of the Computer and Monitor. Click on the [Inspec] icon. Note: If a User Account for Inspec has been created you will be prompted for a [User] and [Password]. (See your administrator or supervisor for a User Name and Password) Complete startup of machine and PC requires (Initializing). Click on [Initialize]. Restart of Software only (does not require Initializing) Note: The machine is not completely initialized until the magnification is displayed. Ex: 24x Shutting down the MicroVu Vision Machine: Push the [X] in the upper right corner of the screen. Choose the [Start] button in the lower left corner of the screen. Choose [Shut down computer]. Push the Power switch on the monitor. The light should go out. Push the Power Off Switch on the Machine. Running an Automatic Program for Parts: Choose [File] [Open] in the upper left corner and select the program to run. (You may have to choose the correct directory) Place the part on the table locating it in the fixture with the proper side up. Choose (run from start) and the program should start automatically. (If the program fails to find an edge or measures something other than the part, you may have selected the wrong program, the part is not located in the fixture, or the part is reversed in the fixture). Choose (stop) if the program fails to measure the part. This will prevent the wrong data from being stored in the export file. Choose run from start to rerun the part. When the part program is finished you may see a message Do You Want To Export The Data? choosing Yes to save the data. Choosing No will cancel the data. Page 4

5 Basic things to know about Inspec: Basic requirement for automated operation: An Origin (zero of X, Y and Z) is required before the machine can run automatically (this can be accomplished this in the first line of the Fixtured Programs or after the first system in an Operator Assisted Program) Understanding Polarity: Note: On some machines the table moves and not the sensors. X axis (+) is when the Lens, Touch or Laser is moving to the right. X axis (-) is when the Lens, Touch or Laser is moving to the left. Y axis (+) is when the Lens, Touch or Laser is moving away from you. Y axis (-) is when the Lens, Touch or Laser is moving toward you. Z axis (+) is when the Lens, Touch or Laser is moving up. Z axis (-) is when the Lens, Touch or Laser is moving down. Part Alignment: The 6 degrees of freedom should be satisfied before some measurements are valid {u} The rotation about the X axis (Level the Part) {v} The rotation about the Y axis (Level the Part) {w} The rotation about the Z axis (Skew the Part) {x} Zero to the X axis (Origin the X axis) {y} Zero to the Y axis (Origin the Y axis) {z} Zero to the Z axis (Origin the Z axis) Coordinate Systems: MCS is (Machine Coordinate System) also called (ref system) Alignment along the machine. FCS is (Fixture Coordinate System) Alignment along the fixture. (can be multiple) PCS is (Parts Coordinate System) Alignment along the part.

17 Working with the Laser: Basic Things to know about the Laser Note: Make sure that the laser has been calibrated. (See end user Calibrations) Note: The laser is offset about 3.5 to the left of the center of the crosshairs. Note: Make sure that the part is in the envelope of the camera and laser. Note: The laser only measures in the Z axis. X and Y axis are taken from the stage. Note: Using a Point Cloud with the Laser Line Scan tool is a good way to collect multiple points. Note: The LMS-1 laser has +5mm of range but will also use the full range of the Z axis. Laser Location Zero Laser Icon Right Mouse Click Move To is a good way to position the laser Using the laser to collect one point at a time Align the crosshair using the camera on the location that you wish to measure. Choose the Feature that you wish to measure (Example: Point, Line, Plane, Point Cloud) Right mouse click on the center of the crosshair and choose [Move Laser Here] Choose Laser Point and then Click Select point Do the above for each point that you want to record. Note: A single Point only requires one point, a Line requires 2 or more Using the laser to scan multiple points along an axis Align the crosshair using the camera on the location that you wish to measure. Choose the Feature that you wish to measure (Example: Line, Plane, Point Cloud) Right mouse click on the center of the crosshair and choose [Move Laser Here] Choose Laser Line Scan and then Click Select the Start Point Right mouse click on the on the laser window and choose [Move Camera Here] Move the crosshair where you want the end point to be.

18 End user Calibration and Preventive Maintenance Cleaning the Machine: Note: We recommend the cleaning as follows: Wipe the glass with a lint free cloth dampened with any glass cleaner. Do Not Spray the cleaned directly onto the glass as it can get between the glass and stage and may run into the linear bearings and measuring scales. Wipe any painted services with a lint free cloth dampened with a surface cleaner. Wipe any dust from the front and back of the PC that may have collected. Wipe any exposed linear bearing rails with a dry lint free cloth. Do Not Lubricate any drive screws. Incorrect lubricate can cause damage. Calibration of Optics: Note: We recommend the recalibration of Optics as follows: Monthly :(as Preventive Maintenance) to assure correlation between the optics and stage. If the results from inspection are in question. If there has been a crash (The lens has come in contact with a part). Procedure: Place Glass Target (Bowtie) in the center of the table and secure with putty or tape. Align crosshair with the center of the glass target. Choose [Machine] and select {Optical Calibration} Follow the instructions on the screen. (Optical Calibration is automatically saved) Calibration of Touch Probes Note: We recommend the recalibration of Touch Probes as follows: Daily:(As Preventive Maintenance) to assure correlation between the optics and probes If the results from inspection are in question.

19 Outside Calibration and Service: Outside Calibration: Note: Micro-Vu recommends Annual calibration for the machine stage under normal use and in semi-clean environments (ex. Normal Office Environment). In harsh environments calibration intervals may need to be more frequent. The calibration interval should be based on Your Quality System taking in consideration the machine use, and environment. Factory Trained Calibration and Service: Note: Micro-Vu recommends the use of factory trained technicians to service and calibrate the machine. Factory trained technicians can make the necessary tests and adjustments to assure the accuracy and longevity of the Inspection System. The F. D. Hurka Company Calibration and Service: Note: The F. D. Hurka Company only uses factory trained technicians to service and calibrate the Micro-Vu equipment. All calibrations are done per factory specifications. All calibrations are done per ISO requirements. F. D. Hurka is certified by A2LA for these calibrations. (See our scope of accreditation at All Calibrations Performed by the F. D. Hurka Company Include the Following: Upgrade to the latest version software (No Charge) Cleaning of all surfaces Lubrication of all ways and lead screws with the proper oil (As Needed) Adjustment to X, Y and Z drives as necessary for backlash and alignment Adjustment to Par-Centricity of camera to optics Leveling of the Glass Plate to the stage travel Running of the Grid for non-linearity of XY axis Measuring and adjusting the perpendicularity of the XY axis Measuring and adjusting the perpendicularity of the XZ axis Measuring and adjusting the perpendicularity of the YZ axis Measuring and adjusting the linearity of the X, Y and Z axis Calibration of Volume Calibration of Optics Calibration of Lighting (As Needed) Calibration of Touch Probe (If Equipped) Calibration of Laser Probe (If Equipped) Before and after results are documented on a long form certification and a calibration sticker is affixed to the machine.
