Metrology IMI-CNC-P Series – Fully Automatic CNC 3D Multi-Sensor Video Measuring Machine

The Metrology IMI-CNC-P Series is an advanced multisensor video measuring machine manufactured by Metrology (Jingstone Precision Group). By integrating fully automated 3-axis CNC motion control with both an optical megapixel digital camera and an authentic Renishaw (U.K.) MCP 3D touch-trigger probe, the IMI-CNC-P delivers comprehensive non-contact 2D vision inspection and contact 3D dimensional verification within a single automated cycle.

Modern precision manufacturing sectors—including aerospace engineering, automotive powertrain components, medical implants, and multi-cavity injection molds—often require verifying intricate surface boundaries alongside critical 3D geometric features such as stepped internal bores, blind hole depths, and spherical seat radii. Conducting separate measurements on an optical profile projector and a traditional coordinate measuring machine (CMM) doubles cycle times and introduces manual re-clamping inaccuracies. Operating as a unified multisensor video measuring machine, the IMI-CNC-P eliminates these bottlenecks by automatically transitioning between sub-pixel edge detection and tactile coordinate probing under a pre-programmed CNC inspection sequence.

For quality assurance laboratories seeking high-throughput optical-only inspection, PTS Lab also offers the pure-optical IMI-CNC optical video measuring machine. Both systems belong to our comprehensive catalog of precision measurement systems and high-accuracy Metrology quality control instruments.

Advanced Multisensor Video Measuring Machine Architecture & 3D Probing

Constructed on a heavy-duty, stress-relieved DIN 00 granite base and vertical column, the machine incorporates 0.0005 mm (0.5 μm) closed-loop optical linear scales and Panasonic AC servo motors, achieving an exceptional volumetric measuring accuracy of E2 = ±(2.5 + L/200) μm. The integrated Renishaw MCP probe system supports multi-stylus configurations and automatic stylus qualification via a ceramic reference sphere. Advanced CNC collision-avoidance trajectory planning ("Goto Point") navigates the probe safely around high-profile fixtures and workpiece clamps during unattended multi-part batch cycles.

Synchronized surface, contour, and coaxial LED illumination provides independent 8-sector ring lighting for sharp edge definition across chamfers, stepped shoulders, and reflective metal finishes. The platform easily accommodates multi-part pallet fixtures, allowing dozens of identical components to be scanned consecutively without manual supervision. The intuitive Jingstone Metrology software combines optical boundary data and tactile 3D touch points into a unified coordinate system, providing real-time SPC statistics, automated pass/fail reporting, and direct CAD reverse engineering with DXF, STEP, and IGES export.
