Traceability to National Standards
Uses calibration artifacts traceable to national standards
Mitutoyo has a large collection of standard artifacts whose dimensions are traceable to the national length standards of Japan and the USA. These artifacts are used to calibrate the specialized equipment used in the calibration of Mitutoyo's measuring tools and instruments so traceability to international length standards is established and maintained. Mitutoyo also provides a temperature calibration service that is absolutely essential to high-accuracy length measurement.
Simple to Operate with Easy-to-Use Measurement Functionality
Entire View of a Large Workpiece Drastically Improves
Ease of Operation and Measurement Efficiency
Stitching Function
• A newly developed correction algorithm stitches multiple images together (multiple image-to-image coupling) while maintaining high-accuracy measurements. After a stitching operation, measurement is easily processed without the need to move the stage.
Simple Execution of Multiple Measurements
One-click tool
With just one click, anyone can easily perform multiple measurements. The outlier removal function automatically eliminates unnecessary measurement points, thus enabling accurate and stable multipoint measurement.
Easy-to-Operate Without Instruction
EZ mode
This mode provides an operation guidance display to guide the operator even if it's their first time performing measurements. This removes the need for continual reference of the instruction manual during operation.
No Troublesome Positioning is Required
One-click execution function
After placing the workpiece within the field of view, the machine automatically recognizes the position and angle using a pattern search function and then finishes the measurements. There is no need for positioning and axially-aligning the workpiece.
An Intuitive OK/NG Judgment of Measurement is Provided
Template comparison test function
The test function compares workpieces against their templates to enable OK/NG judgments to be made at a glance. The function lets you utilize a drawing and CAD model for templates. Standard template shapes can also be created.
Simple Focusing
Wide focus range
Our specifically designed optical system achieves the long focal depth of 22mm. This allows measurement without the time-consuming focusing task, supporting an efficient measurement operation.
Capable of Visually Capturing an Entire Image
Graphics function
The current position, coordinate system, measuring item and measurement result are automatically displayed in a graphics window. The graphics window prevents omissions and errors with the measurements from occurring. 2-D CAD model data can be imported (optional) in order to better capture the actual full image.
Perform Quick Measurements Even on Large Workpieces
Quick release mechanism on the XY stage
Quick-release mechanisms are built into both fine feed controls on the XY stage. This allows the stage to be moved rapidly to bring the next measuring point into view no matter where it is on the workpiece.
Outstanding Improvement in Operation Efficiency and Productivity
User-friendly and Convenient XY Stage Movement * QI-C series
New Lineup of Motor-driven Stage Models
The joystick provides an easy, convenient control for coarse and fine feed of the stage. This effortless moving of the XY stage demonstrates outstanding performance in long-length measurement. The motor-driven stage automatically moves for stitching by specifying its start and end points.
Confirm Measurement Results quickly and easily
Video window measurement result display function
• Measurement results can be understood intuitively just by looking at a measurement image. Any out-of-tolerance result data is easily identified by changing its display color. A graphic image with measurement data also leads to creation of a user-friendly report.
• Each OK/NG result is color-coded with its operator selectable display color.
Capable of Supporting a Variety of Workpieces
Large-stage model and extensive line up of stages
• The large stage allows you to arrange multiple workpieces and measure them in a single setup, thereby saving valuable time that would otherwise be spent in loading and unloading the stage.
• XY measurement range: Measure workpieces up to 400x200mm.
• 100mm Z-stroke allows you to measure tall workpieces.
• A maximum load capacity of 44 lbs (20Kg) allows you to
measure heavy workpieces.
Measure Multiple Workpieces Within the Field of View All at Once
Locate and measure multiple workpieces with just one click
• Use pattern search for multiple workpieces within the screen view, and measure them all in one operation with the one-click execution function. This eliminates the need for accurate positioning of workpieces and cumbersome setup of fixtures.
Simple "OK/NG Judgment" of multiple workpieces
Tolerance judgment result display function
• OK/NG judgment can be seen at a glance for faster operation.
• OK/NG judgment can be done for each measurement item, and judgment can be passed on each workpiece.
• Prevents NG data omissions.
Generate Reports and Observe All On One Machine
High-definition color camera
• This camera provides high-resolution color images for effective use in high-accuracy measurement and workpiece surface observation. Bright color measurement images are easily stored as a file and can be used for creating an easily understood measurement report.
Simple Execution of Stored Measurement Programs
Program launcher
• A measurement procedure program can be stored under a dedicated icon along with a photo and comments to enable the required programs to be started easily.
• 10 icons are available and programs can be managed for each operator or workpiece.
High Accuracy Measurement with Bright and Clear Images
Wide field of view / high-resolution mode
• The high resolution mode produces the same wide field of view as the normal mode that operates with a deep focal depth. This allows you to share a single measurement procedure so that you can execute seamless measurements.
• The shallow depth of focus in high resolution mode shows the edges of stepped workpieces more clearly, making measurements highly accurate.
Enhanced illumination
• The enhanced illumination function of the high-resolution mode enables measurements of low reflectivity workpieces like rubber and black resin moldings to be performed with a clear image.
Progressive Die-pressed Parts
Measure the diameter and difference in coordinates of each hole.
O-ring / Seals
Enhanced illumination is very effective for low reflectivity materials such as rubber and black resin.
(Use ring illumination in high-resolution

Simple Execution and Editing of Programs
Smart editor
This function allows XY-stage target position, illumination condition, etc., to be separately displayed as icons or labels in the list of part programs (automatic measurement procedure programs), thereby simplifying program editing.
Powerful Edge Detection Functionality Enables Fast Measurement
Outlier removal
Removes outliers caused by anomalies such as debris, burrs and chips.
Auto trace tool
Automatically detects the edges of unknown contours and obtains point group data.
Point group data lets you perform contour form analysis and design value comparison using FORMTRACEPAK-AP (optional).
Easy Handling of Sophisticated Dimension and Contour Evaluations
Contour evaluation and analysis software: FORMTRACEPAK-AP
FORMTRACEPAK-AP is data processing software for advanced form analysis that carefully reads point group date acquired via tools such as the auto trace tool.
• A contour measurement is easy to make. Perform contour matching against the design value data.
• You can define virtual circles of a given diameter enabling over-pin diameter analysis to be performed.
CAD Model Import
Measurement support software: QS-CAD I/F
2-D CAD model data (DXF-, or IGES-formatted) can be imported into QIPAK. Conversely, QIPAK measurement results can be converted into 2-D CAD model data.
The design value for each measurement item is automatically entered. Since the graphics window makes the present location easy to identify, the operator can quickly move the stage to a given point in the 2D CAD model.
Early Detection of Process Irregularities
Centralized process management software: MeasurLink
Statistical data can be displayed in real-time, making early detection of process irregularities possible. Early identification of an out-of-control situation enables rapid remedial action to be taken when necessary.
