Starrett AVR 200/300

Starrett AVR Series

The Starrett AVR Series CNC automatic vision metrology systems are ideal for repetitive measurements and automatic comparison to CAD files. They are available with dedicated 6.5:1 zoom optics or a quick-change bayonet lens mount which accepts a choice of telecentric lenses for micron-level resolution and optical distortion down to 0.001% for accurate field-of-view (FOV) measurements. These can encompass an entire small part up to 2.00" x 1.50" or a feature of a larger part and be seamlessly integrated with stage motion to measure parts with a length up to 8" (AVR200) or 12" (AVR300).

AVR Series hardware features include a granite base for maximum stability, recirculating ball linear guides for smooth and precise stage motion, and full CNC control for high throughput. All electronics other than the PC are housed in the Z-column, ensuring an integrated system with minimal external wiring.

The AVR Series consists of two models for 8" x 4" x 8" or 12" x 8" x 8" of X-Y-Z travel. Both provide motorized travel and zoom, which can be under full software control (CNC operation), or under manual control via a joystick and trackball. Available with interchangeable telecentric lenses for field-of-view (FOV) measurements and with optical zoom, these new CNC vision metrology systems are easy to use, versatile and accurate. They are equally suitable for individual measurements, for high-speed "go-nogo" testing of small parts within the FOV, and for automatic testing of parts up to 12" (300 mm) using stage motion.

  • Quadrant LED surface illumination for zoom optics
  • DXF/FOV option pack for automatic comparison to CAD designs
  • Modular system workstation

Operator Interface

The AVR Series is built around a 21.5" all-in-one touch screen PC which runs MetLogix M3 CNC software under Windows® 7 Professional. This software supports 3-axis measurements and 2D geometrical constructs (points, lines, angles, rectangles). The screen displays a live video image of the part plus geometry tools and digital readings. The part image can be resized using pan and zoom, and measurements can be taken by simply tapping a feature on the screen. With the M3 DXF/FOV option pack, DXF CAD files can be imported over a network and be automatically compared to the actual part.

AVR Optics

The Starrett AVR Series CNC vision metrology systems are ideal for repetitive & automatic measurements as well as automatic comparison to CAD files. They are available with either dedicated 6.5:1, 12:1 zoom optics or a quick-change bayonet lens mount which accepts a choice of telecentric lenses for micron-level resolution and optical distortion down to 0.001% for accurate field-of-view (FOV) measurements. These can encompass an entire small part up to 2.00" x 1.50" or a feature of a larger part and be seamlessly integrated with stage motion to measure parts with a length up to 8"(AVR200) or 12" (AVR300).
