The Nikon VMR-3020 (NEXIV model) is a CNC video measuring system used for dimensional measurement. The Nikon VMR-3020 uses a single-column X-Y stage with 300 x 200 mm travel and can handle workpieces up to 20 kg.[1][2]
What it is
How it works
The VMR 3020 comprises a main unit with a zoom head and a vertical mover, a stage with a glass surface, a controller, a host computer, and a joystick box. The stage supports workpieces up to 20 kg and provides a measurement area of 300 mm by 355 mm with a depth of 10 mm.[2][3]
Illumination is provided by built-in diascopic and episcopic lamps whose fiber light guides connect to the controller. The controller has status LEDs for power, internal CPU, and DSP, and an encoder connector for position feedback. A joystick box includes a LASER switch for the optional Laser Autofocus function and a STOP switch to halt motion.[2][3]
The system automatically switches between 100‑120 V ±10 % and 220‑240 V ±10 % to match the local supply. An Ethernet connection links the controller to the host computer, which runs the measurement software. The zoom head, guide, and scale are factory-calibrated and not user-serviceable.[2][3]

Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum permissible mass on the stage?
The maximum permissible mass on the stage is 20 kg, including the mass of any clamps used to fix the workpiece.[2][3]
What are the dimensions of the measurement area?
The top view of the stage shows a measurement area of 300 mm, a glass surface of 355 mm, and a depth of 10 mm.[2][3]
Does the system support automatic voltage switching?
Yes, the input voltage for the VMR-3020 automatically switches between 100-120 V ±10% and 220-240 V ±10%.[2][3]
