Camberley-based Bowers Group (
www.bowersgroup.co.uk) has made available the latest Baty Venture XT vision system, which is said to include major advances in capability and software for both contact and non-contact measurement.
Features include an extended 200mm measuring range in the Z axis and a new FEA-optimised column design with integral counterbalance.
The Z axis and the lens/touch probe assembly have also been revised, while faster X- and Y-axis drives, touch-screen-compatible software, touch-screen joystick, greater field of view, and magnification up to 12¥ zoom are among further enhancements.
Of particular note is a major redesign of the software, giving users a self-calibrating zoom lens featuring field-of-view error correction and improved auto-focus that can now ‘find and measure’ (from a distance) in one move.
Furthermore, an image-stitching capability allows a large X-Y area to be scanned and displayed as a single image, while a ‘layers feature’ now allows other geographical information such as DXF files, dimensions and measured features to be overlaid on the camera image and reported.
