What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Nikon VM 150 CNC Video Measuring System is a programmable video metrology machine used for dimensional inspection.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A video measuring system uses an optical imaging path and motion control to measure visible features on a part. A CNC version automates stage movement and measurement routines under programmed control.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A video measuring system typically sits in inspection and metrology flow after fabrication or machining steps that define the part geometry. The machine is used to verify dimensions and feature placement before the part advances to later quality review or assembly steps.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Video measuring systems are used for noncontact dimensional inspection of precision parts. Such machines are applied to feature measurement, alignment checks, and inspection of geometries that can be observed optically.
