New X-Y accessories for digital video inspection systems

INSPECTIS AB has two new X-Y accessory products for its class-leading digital video inspection systems, the HD-028 X-Y Floating Table and X-Y Rail and Boom Systems. The X-Y Floating Table provides smooth lateral movement for objects under inspection. Its working surface is covered with a high-friction, high-quality antistatic coated mat that keeps objects under inspection in place. Four slots are available for attaching custom magnetic fixtures and holders. The table allows the camera to remain static on one of the wide range of stands while the object under inspection is moved and smoothly positioned with ease and precision. Compared to previously available products, it is lower in profile and more compact yet still offers a practical-sized working area and large movement in both X and Y directions. Sometimes a static camera is not convenient or simply won't reach a suitable viewing position. The fully configurable HD camera systems can be mounted on a range of rack or bench-mountable X-Y Rail and Boom Systems to place the camera over any large object, or can be integrated into a production environment occupying minimum or no bench footprint. They provide travel of the camera over an object of up to 900mm in the X and 600mm in the Y directions as specified by the customer. All versions feature smooth running ball-race runners and double-boom running in ball bearings for effortless positioning. All the company’s cameras feature crucial on-board controls ideal for X-Y mounting so that single-handed operation of positioning and zooming is possible.
