Description

The M3 Series Industrial Manual Vision Measuring Machines are designed for precision dimensional inspection in manufacturing, engineering and quality control environments. Built on a precision granite structure and equipped with high-resolution optics, the M3 Series delivers reliable and repeatable measurement performance for a wide range of industrial applications.

Available in measuring capacities from 250 × 150mm through to 500 × 400mm, the M3 Series supports both standard 2D optical measurement and advanced 3D touch probe measurement through configurable A and B platforms.

The M3 Series is ideal for manufacturers requiring accurate dimensional verification, first article inspection, incoming goods inspection and process quality control. Optional touch probe technology expands measurement capability to include heights, depths, step heights and complex geometric features.

With powerful iMeasuring software, programmable LED illumination and a precision measuring stage, the M3 Series provides an excellent balance between affordability, flexibility and industrial-grade measurement capability.
