The First Scanner That “Actually” Measures

Werth Messtechnik GmbH presents its new scanner, the Werth FlatScope, for fast, precise, and reliable inspection of flat work pieces and extrusion profiles in a production environment. The main area of application is in the measurement of complex profiles (e.g. rubber, plastic, or aluminium profiles) as well as stamped parts, laser cut profiles, and circuit boards.

The exceptional features of the scanner, currently the most exact in the world, are based upon proven designs in its mechanical construction. This enables workpieces to be measured with the smallest uncertainty. The measuring range of this reasonably priced series of machines is up to 650 mm. Larger measuring ranges can be supplied upon request.

The Werth FlatScope is equipped with an Image Processing Sensor with telecentric or zoom optics as required. By using the unique Werth Zoom, constructed with linear guideways, an accuracy can be achieved which is unprecedented within the scope of the scanner. The magnification can be set via CNC controls. Powerful image processing, which goes far beyond the capabilities of common edge detector systems, makes the previous, time-consuming preparation of test pieces superfluous. The versatility of numerous available filters eliminates the need for extensive deburring. Even parts with profiles of 100 mm thickness can be measured with ease.

Completely automatic measurement of complicated, extremely low-contrast work pieces in Backlight and Surface Illumination can also be easily achieved. In Grid Scanning mode, the entire measuring area can be scanned quickly and all geometrical characteristics recorded and evaluated.

The WinWerth Measuring Software combines modern, intuitive user operation with exceptional features, making measuring with the Werth FlatScope particularly simple, thus enabling the machine to be used by untrained operators.
