Common Questions
Answers to the questions engineers ask most when comparing Optomech metrology systems.
Optomech supplies seven categories: Profile Projectors (PP) for silhouette and edge inspection, Quick Measuring Machines (QMM) for high-volume pass/fail, Vision Measuring Machines (VMM) for CNC-programmable GD&T measurement, Digital Video Microscopes for micro-feature inspection, and Specialised Inspection Systems for bottles, preforms, and aluminium profiles. All are manufactured in Hyderabad, India.
Choose a profile projector (PP) when you need fast, simple shop-floor silhouette checks with overlay comparison — no programming required. Choose a vision measuring machine (VMM) when you need CNC-programmable routines, autofocus, GD&T measurement, probing, or rich CAD-overlay reporting for complex or diverse part families.
A Quick Measuring Machine (QMM) is an optical measuring system that inspects multiple features of a part in seconds using pre-set recipe templates. It is used by QC departments in automotive, turned parts, and repetitive precision engineering production lines where fast, consistent pass/fail results and SPC/CPK reporting are needed.
Accuracy depends on the specific VMM model, optics, magnification, and environmental conditions. Optomech VMM systems are calibrated to NABL-traceable standards. Typical repeatability for well-configured systems is in the sub-micron to low-micron range. Contact Optomech with your part drawing and tolerance requirements for a specific recommendation.
Yes. The Quick Measuring Machine (QMM Opto Series) and Vision Measuring Machines (VMM) can export measurement data as PDF reports, CSV files, and SPC/CPK summaries for process capability analysis, quality audits, and customer or regulatory reporting.
Optomech Specialised Inspection Systems are purpose-built measurement solutions designed for specific part families — glass bottles, PET preforms, aluminium extrusion profiles, and custom engineering parts. They come pre-configured with the right optics, fixtures, illumination, and reporting templates, reducing setup time and increasing measurement consistency.
Yes. Optomech Digital Video Microscopes (DVM) provide up to 180× magnification for high-accuracy inspection of micro-features such as fine wire, small holes, edge radii, surface finish, and micro-component geometry in electronics, medical devices, and precision engineering.
