Enclosed in a cylinder measuring barely 8 mm in diameter, the novel head of the pencil-type GT2 Series sensor enables absolute measurements with an accuracy of 1 µm.

Keyence's latest product represents a technological leap. It is the first digital microscope with a CMOS camera. Already a very fast technology, CMOS has been optimised by Keyence to achieve the same image quality as that achievable with CCD cameras. It helps to increase processing speeds by a ratio of 5 to 10. All the image-processing capacities that have made the VHX Series a success are virtually instantaneous.

This new vision system delivers far superior performance over the competition and is the first of its kind to allow connection of a profile measurement system all while remaining extremely easy to use.

Johnson & Johnson's Health and Beauty site in Sézanne, France, quickly set up a detection system that typically creates reliability problems.

Keyence's new ultrafast 2D metrology system gives the French subcontractor a leading edge.

LISI MEDICAL's plant in Miribel, a French town just outside the city of Lyon, specialises in the outsourcing of surgical implants and ancillary items. Consisting primarily of plates and screws, these parts require precision manufacturing and are inspected by the plant's metrology department. The typical tolerances are in the order of 0.1 to 0.05 mm.

Thanks to Keyence's IM Series image measurement system, SPPF's operators measure the dimensions of extrusions without any risk of variability. As a result, the company has optimised the quality of its products and established processes for analysing production deviations.

To provide high-speed, high-accuracy inspection facilities for production of a new range of vials, Capitol Europe has opted for KEYENCE optical micrometers in the TM-3000 series.

For the past few years, Renault's site in Cléon, France, has been using Keyence's LJ-G laser displacement sensors on its G9 engine production line. The site chose the sensors for their detection reliability and ease of use.

This new profile measuring instrument is a real technological breakthrough. Being approximately 30 times faster than the best standard of the market, with the LJ-V Series it is possible to check instantaneously the results of a scanned target using a 3D view on line. It is also characterized by the simplicity of its implementation, its precision and its stability of detection.
