Original Press Release:
GALILEO® AV230+ Provides Superior Precision and Flexible Configuration
Compact system with a combination of rigid construction, powerful control software and flexible configuration offers exceptionally accurate inspection for smaller parts
ATHOL, MASS. - The L.S. Starrett Company, a global manufacturer of precision tools and metrology equipment and other tools, has introduced the Galileo® AV230+, a small, rugged video-based, multi-sensor measurement system. Built with a granite base and Z column, this system was developed specifically to measure microelectronics, micro-machined components and a variety of other small but often heavy specialized parts. The Galileo AV230+ is the smallest member of the Galileo Plus Series of motorized, CNC controlled multi-sensor video measurement systems. The series also includes the AV300+ and AV350+, which Starrett will display at IMTS 2010 in booth E-5403.
The AV230+ is built around a granite base and column and has a 9" x 6" x 7" (225mm x 150mm x 175mm) X-Y-Z measuring range. The strength, rigidity and precision of granite are usually available only in larger systems. As a result, this robust, precision mechanical platform delivers X/Y accuracy of E2=1.5+5L/1000 and Z accuracy of E1=2.0+5L/1000 (in µm).
Starrett's Galileo AV230+ vision system combines its precision mechanical platform, 12:1 zoom optics, Digital Video Camera and standard coaxial illumination to produce high-resolution, color images. Select fiber optic or LED surface ring and transmitted illumination as well as several auxiliary lenses are available as options.
The AV230+ includes Quadra-Chek® QC5300 metrology software. This powerful software provides an intuitive user interface, state of the art ergonomics, as well as powerful data import, export and data analysis tools.
The AV230+ platform is also available as the AV230micro, equipped with high-magnification microscope optics in place of a zoom lens. The rigid, precision granite superstructure of the AV230micro allows for applications that require high magnification levels and specialized microscopy illumination.
"The Galileo AV230+ is Starrett's most customizable microscope platform for measuring and inspecting microelectronics and micro-machined parts," said Mark Arenal, general manager of the Metrology Systems Division at The L.S. Starrett Company. "Since the AV230+ offers a wide range of configurations, it supports a variety of optional optical assemblies and lenses including lasers."
The new Starrett Metrology Catalog (No. 80) and Full Line Catalog (Cat. 32) each have full details about Galileo AV230+ and the complete line of Starrett multi-sensor-ready vision product line.
