Test & measurement
forging of these items was resulting from contamination in the process. The VHX-7000 captured highly detailed images of the contaminated areas and, in conjunction with the University’s electron microscope, ultimately enabled the company to identify where in the process this problem was occurring - and take appropriate remedial action. Previous winner of an R&D 100 award, the
primary advantages of a KEYENCE solution are speed, image quality, image enhancement and the user-friendly operating system, which offers images, prompts and short “how to” guides - making even technically complex features simple to use. The VHX-7000 allows both 2D and 3D
measurements to be carried out in a matter of seconds, swiftly switching between surface features, contamination and
grain size among others. The data is saved on the integral 1TB hard drive, with the system then able to generate automatic reports. Millions of images can be saved, then shared via LAN or USB as needed. A combination of optics, digital camera,
electronics, software, and a wide choice of motorised XYZ and rotating stages, allows performance of all types of inspection and analysis via a single system. This means applications traditionally performed on stereoscopic, metallurgical, measuring and even SEM microscopes can be transferred to the VHX-7000, as it combines the features of these four types of microscopes in one. The ability to use the optical shadow effect
mode also enhances the quality of sample analysis in research, as this function makes it possible to detect surface defects and inconsistencies, rivalling images obtained by a SEM. Richard Duff of the University of Derby
comments: “The VHX- 7000 is extremely beneficial to our operations here. It is rapid, repeatable, high-resolution and has a wide variety of image enhancement features, yet is also very easy to use and very quick to train a new user. This is particularly beneficial as we
frequently need to train new students to use the system, and its intuitive operating system makes this very straightforward. “We selected Keyence as they
are industry leaders and have the best product available in the VHX-7000, along with excellent support. This is our first Keyence product - we are delighted with this purchase and when we need to expand our capability in this area, we’ll no doubt be looking to KEYENCE again.”
