Peregrine 300 Video & Optical Measurement Microscope Overview

Vision Engineering's Peregrine 300 empowers users with options of optical and/or video measurement, providing the ability to perform high accuracy optical measurements for difficult-to-view subjects and critical parts, or higher volume video measurements for high contrast subjects and batch routines. 

Whatever your measurement requirements, Peregrine 300 provides optimum accuracy and flexibility for a wide range of quality inspection routines. Users even have the ability to switch between optical and video measurement within the same measuring routine. 

With a 150mm x 100mm measuring stage, Peregrine 300 is ideal for measuring 2-D features of small intricate parts. From simple manual, single-feature operation to multi-point video edge detection measurements, Peregrine 300 combines amazing simplicity with high accuracy and repeatability for a wide range of measuring applications. 

• High repeatable accuracy, 2-axis measurements
• Powerful and intuitive touch-screen video microprocessor delivers fast and accurate results
• Patented optical image clearly defines edges, offering superb resolution and contrast
• High accuracy, low investment system

Intuitive Microprocessor

Data processing is performed by a powerful QC-300 multi-function microprocessor with high resolution touch-screen colour video display, designed with ease of operation in mind. 

The intuitive QC-300 software includes enhanced programming and integrated live video display with automatic point entry and Video Edge Detection (VED).

Peregrine 300 High Accuracy Measurement Details

Peregrine 300 has been designed with precision, flexibility and simplicity in mind, making it ideal for quality control routines with a wide variety of component features. Peregrine 300 delivers high accuracy and repeatability and has been designed to cope with the demands of both higher volume batch measurement requirements and individual component parts. 

Integrated Video Measurement
Accurate video measurement requires advanced image processing software, combined with a precision measuring stage. 

Peregrine's QC-300 video processor includes an array of measurement tools, including simple crosshair measurement, offset cross hair for difficult-to-find edges, manual or automatic single point detection and multi-point video edge detection. 

Precision Measuring Stage
Measurements are performed on a high performance 3-plate stage, providing a measuring range of 150mm x 100mm. The stage is gimbal mounted to ensure critical parallel positioning and has factory-installed non-linear error correction (NLEC) calibration to ensure optimum accuracy, traceable to NPL/NAMAS/NIST standards for the purposes of ISO9000. Combined with 1µm resolution measuring encoders, this provides a system repeatability of 5µm* for complete confidence in your results. 

Superior Optics
Peregrine 300 utilises Vision Engineering's patented Dynascope™ technology to provide enhanced surface definition for accurate and simple measurement. The superb optical clarity also allows detailed visual inspection to be performed simultaneously. 

Intuitive Microprocessor
Data processing is performed by the QC-300 multi-function microprocessor. QC-300 is ideal for measuring common component features, such as circles, angles, lines, arcs and distances and has been designed with ease of operation in mind, featuring a high resolution colour video touch-screen with intuitive interface. Advanced features include image capture and analysis, enhanced tolerancing, reporting capability and data output via USB, parallel and serial ports. 

Options & Accessories
Surface and sub-stage illumination options enable adjustment of lighting to suit any application. Surface illumination is provided by 2 x semi-coaxial spot lamps, with the option of episcopic (through the lens) illumination for viewing blind bores or deep surface features. Quick-change magnification options are: x10, x20, x50 (x20 fitted as standard).

Metro-FORM Internal Dimension Measurement

Metro-FORM offers a unique solution for rapid, repeatable & accurate gauging of intricate internal features. Where conventional techniques would involve the destructive testing of a component, Metro-FORM allows a highly accurate internal representation of the component to be made, leaving the original test piece intact.

Quadra-Chek 300
Quadra-Chek digital readouts and metrology software are the premier systems for the measurement and inspection of 2-D geometric components. A QC-300 video microprocessor is the standard control interface on the Peregrine 300, providing a powerful combination to empower operators along every step of the measurement process. 

Intuitive User Interface
QC-300 features a powerful and intuitive interface which be used by shift workers or advanced users alike. The high resolution touch-screen colour display is exceptionally easy to use and ensures operator accuracy with minimal training time. 

Video Measurement Tools
Switch from simple crosshair measurement to automatic video measurement detection for form measurement outside the field of view. QC-300 provides the user with an array of powerful and flexible video measurement tools to speed up and simplify the measurement process. 

Part Programming
Program a measurement sequence once and run it back as often as you need. Measure the same number of points per feature, in the identical sequence, part after part. 

Intersections and Constructions
Obtain essential intersection and construction results by selecting from the list of previously measured features, complete with graphical display. 

Geometric Tolerancing
QC-300's unique graphical representation instantly displays pass/fail performance details for critical part dimensions. Results and important measurement data are displayed in an uncluttered and comprehensive display. 

Image Capture and Analysis
QC-300 captures video image (in .jpeg format) to either internal memory or directly to the USB port. The image can then be edited or appended with text and measurement data, or directly printed via the USB port.

Measure Magic®
To measure, simply probe points and click. QC-300 detects, without the operator's intervention, the feature type being measured. With the patented Measure Magic® feature, operators can inspect multiple features without taking their eyes off the part, increasing throughput, improving accuracy and reducing user fatigue. 

An audible tone also sounds from the in-built speaker to prompt operator action without interrupting workflow, speeding up data entry.
