- *Total magnification is that of a video window with 640 × 480 pixels on a 24-inch WUXGA monitor (1920 × 1200 pixels) recommended for the VMZ-R series.
Detection of 0.1 mm Transparent Layer
Designed to detect the surfaces of thin transparent materials, the TTL Laser AF offers high speed and high accuracy.
- *Not available for Type A

The sensor detects laser beams reflected on both top and bottom surfaces.
8-segment LED Ring Illuminator
Standard magnification zooming heads (Type 1-3) come with 8-segment LED inner and outer ring illuminators, as well as episcopic and diascopic illuminators. Light intensity can be easily adjusted by changing the illumination angles of the 8-segment LED Ring Illuminator.
- *The angles of the 8-segment ring illuminator for Type 4 is 50 degrees and for Type A is 18 degrees.

Faster Throughput
High rate of data transfer combined with fast illumination control provides faster throughput.
15x High-speed Zoom
5-step high-speed zoom with a zoom ratio of 15x allows both wide field-of-view at low magnification and high-resolution observation at high magnification (available for Type 1, 2, 3, 4).

GUI designed for easier operations
The graphical user interface (GUI), simplifies machine movement, creating and running teaching files, and clearly indicates status and progress of measurements.
Various wizards for guiding procedures of measurements are available, providing fast, easy writing of teaching files. GUI can be customized for different tasks. You can select and hide functions for achieving your tasks.

NEXIV Profiler
Calculation of features and deviations based on ISO and JIS
Roundness based on least square or minimum zone method, maximum inscribed circle, minimum circumscribed circle

Flatness based on least square or minimum zone method, plane defined by the highest or lowest 3 points

Straightness based on least square or minimum zone method, line defined by 2 points at both ends.

Evaluation of shapes (contours)
Nominal and measured shapes can be overlaid and errors can be visualized. Best fit function shifts and rotates measured shapes to nominal shapes to minimize errors. Good for both geometrical shapes and free-form shapes.

- Calculation of errors can be made in either normal or axis direction.
- Nominal shapes can be made from either CAD data or XYZ coordinate values.
- Measured shapes can be output in CSV or DXF file.
- Evaluation report can be made in PDF file.
Edition of imported CAD data
Change of tolerances, directions of elements, size, etc., can be made in NEXIV profiler.

NEXIV Report
Reports can be made with results and graphics. You can choose which results and graphics to show and can change layouts. Once the report is made, it can be automatically created every time the program is run.
