Operational flow for measurement
Manual P5-37
This section explains settings required to perform measurement.
This measurement sensor measures outer diameters or the distances based on the edge information
(boundary of a bright and a dark part of the image) of measured images.
For detailed measurement content, specify the “Measurement type” in the “Measurement setting” and set.
Set the target within the measurement area and perform the
master registration.
Select the measurement type according to the measured content.
(The “Measurement type” can be selected in the measurement setting.)

Diameter, step height, width
The maximum diameter and minimum diameter
within the specified range, and step height and
width between detected edges are measured.
Angle
This measures the angle made by the detected
two straight lines or the tilt from the arbitrary line.
Radius, roundness
This measures the radius of specified arc
and the roundness.
Pitch
This measures the maximum, minimum or
average pitch within the specified range.
Y position, X position, coordinate
Y position, X position of detected edge, or
coordinate at the specified point is measured.
Distance, intersection distance, area
This measures the distance between the specified two
points, such as distance between center of circle and
intersection, and also measures the area.

For area operation, see page 8 in this manual.
Confirm the “Measured content” is set to “Average” and “Tilt
corr” is set to “ON”.
* Setting the tilt correction (Tilt corr) to “ON” enables the diameter to
be measured correctly even if the target has a tilt.
Press the [ESCAPE] key on the console to return to screen 2.
The diameter measurement setting (1) is complete.
This measures the stepped shaft.

The target size can be measured.
Even if the target is tilted, the
measurement area remains at the original
position. Accordingly, the different
position from the one you wished to
measure originally will be measured.
The measurement area is tilted
according to the tilt of the target.
