Macro functions

Smart tool
By moving an image into the
central measuring circle,
QSPak automatically scans
and detects the clearest
edge and centers it in the
circle. It's faster and more
accurate than using a profile
projector or microscope with
cross-hairs.

The function window allows easy

selection of macro icons for 48 different
measurements. Macros are shown on
three different pages, easily accessed by
tabs located along the bottom edge of
the window. Using the macro function,
QS Pak automatically selects the
appropriate measuring tool to detect
workpiece edge and calculate the
appropriate feature: diameter, radius,
etc.

One click edge detection

Just by clicking the mouse near the edge of a workpiece, QSPak
automatically scans the edge and detects it, showing its coordinates. This
function also works with the point tool, box tool, circle tool and auto-focus
tool.

Template tools
Standard templates

Grid

The standard templates

function as reticles of
microscope.

Cross hair

Concentric circles

Extended templates
Four other templates are available as extended template: cross, circle, square and
angle. The size of a diameter, a distance, an angle, etc. can be changed just by
entering a desired value with the keyboard. It allows simple comparison
measurements, only much faster and more accurately than with a profile projector.

templates for individual workpieces.
Join the input points to complete the template.

Repeat measurement navigation

The QSPak can repeat measurement
routines set/stored in the Learn mode. In
the Repeat mode the XY distance from
the current position to the next target
point is displayed on the counter. And
the XY table travel direction to be done is
indicated by the red cross-hairs.
When moving to the next measurement
point, all the operator has to do is move
the XY table until either the counter reads
zero or by laying the green cross-hairs on
top of the red cross-hairs.

1. Start repeat-mode. The

red cross-hairs indicates
the direction of the next
measurement point.

Graphic window
The measurement results and measured
elements are plotted in the graphic
window in real-time. By using this
function the operator can check the
current measuring position at a glance.
The graphic window can be used for
geometrical calculation between features
to speed up measurement.

3. When the green cross-hairs

overlaps the red cross-hairs,
2. Move the XY table as the

will appear on the screen.
the green cross-hairs.
Click the DATA button to
measure the point.

Security function
This function limits access to the QSPak
operation by requiring a password for
access. This prevents unauthorized users
from changing part programs,
measuring conditions, etc.

Icon editor function

The layout for the macro icons in the
function window and the tool icons in
the tool window can be easily changed
by the user for increased efficiency.

Output of measurement results

The measurement results obtained in the Repeat mode can be output via the CSV
format which is compatible with application software such as Microsoft Excel. QSPak
can help the operator create an inspection chart.
Microsoft Excel is registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.

Abnormal Data Eliminating Function

Image capture
A color CCD camera is used to provide
for realistic workpiece observation and
measurement. The color image can be
captured and
stored as a
bitmap image
for other uses
and can be
printed out.

This function eliminates any point data that

is not consistent with the majority of
measured data, thereby ensuring
measurement accuracy for workpieces with
burrs, nicks and other flaws.

Smart editor function

A series of operation procedures such as
moving the XY table, changing
magnifications, etc., can be displayed as a
flow chart for quick reference or teaching
new operators measuring routines. This
function also allows part programs to be
edited by using the edit screen.

MeasureReport/E
Order No.: 02ARA142
MeasureReport/E is a Microsoft Excel* Ver 5.0 based
inspection report creation software, capable of formatting the
measured data from Vision Unit/QSPak into an inspection
report that can be automatically printed out. Statistical
calculation, GO/NG judgment and printing out can be dealt
with macro commands. Thus, the time and cost involved in
creating an inspection report can be reduced dramatically
over the conventional way. Furthermore, the layout of
inspection report forms can be arranged as required with
graphical/image pasting functions.
Note: MeasureReport/E does not include Microsoft Excel Ver5.0.
It needs to be provided by the user.
