Bowers Group has today launched the new Baty Velo FV, the latest addition to its extensive line-up of non-contact measurement systems. Named after the Latin word “veloci”, meaning fast and swift, the Velo FV delivers speed, simplicity, and precision in a lightweight, compact form, making it the perfect entry-level vision system for high-volume, low-cost component manufacturers.
“The Velo FV is a breakthrough for manufacturers who need accuracy without the overhead of larger, more elaborate systems,” said Geoff Jackson, business development director at Bowers Group. “It opens the door to automated inspection for businesses that previously couldn’t justify the cost of vision metrology.”
Unique on the market, the new Baty Velo offers full measurement and reporting functionality with high-end telecentric optics and lighting to achieve 3µm accuracy on hundreds of measurements in a single second. With a fixed 100 x 80mm field of view (FOV), telecentric profile lighting, and intelligent auto-focus functionality, the Velo FV combines powerful optics with reduced complexity, offering reliable, repeatable measurement at an aggressive price point.
Despite its compact footprint, the Velo FV retains the optical precision of its larger sibling, the FV-1080, but with a simplified lighting setup and reduced surface light capability. This makes it ideal for straightforward inspection of flat parts, particularly in industries where ROI needs to be fast and measurable.
The Velo FV represents a world-first, exclusive product offering available solely through Bowers Group and its network of global distributors. This provides customers with access to advanced measurement technology while offering a distinct competitive advantage in the market. Designed to support real-time quality assurance with Baty’s intuitive Fusion FV software, the Velo FV enables manufacturers to reduce scrap, increase throughput, and improve confidence in production, all without breaking the bank.
