Vision Measurement Systems
Starrett’s vision measurement range spans benchtop and floor-standing platforms in horizontal and vertical configurations. CNC automation, telecentric and FOV optics, and video edge detection feature across the HDV, AVR, AVX, MVR, and KMR families.
- HDV digital comparators in benchtop and floor-standing formats with extended travel options
- AVR and MVR vertical benchtop systems with FOV and large-platform variants
- AVX 550 floor-standing system with dual-camera capability
- KMR video inspection platforms with zoom optics and large field-of-view configurations
Video Inspection Systems
Purpose-built for receiving inspection, quality assurance, and component documentation, Starrett’s KMR video inspection platforms combine digital imaging, zoom optics, and precision measurement software in a compact benchtop format.
- KMR-Mx 200 with MetLogix MX200 digital readout for secure, PC-free measurement environments
- KMR-FOV 0.14X with large field-of-view telecentric lens for oversized component inspection
- KMR 200 with precision X-Y stage travel and 0.5 µm encoder resolution
- KMR M3 with 6.5:1 zoom optics and MetLogix M3 software for video edge detection and DXF overlay
Optical Comparators
Traditional profile projection with screen sizes from 16″ to 30″ in horizontal and vertical orientations, spanning benchtop and floor-standing configurations with dual-lens options and precision glass-scale encoders.
- HB400 horizontal benchtop comparator for component-level profile inspection
- HD400 horizontal benchtop with dual-lens capability for rapid magnification switching
- HF600 and HF750 horizontal floor-standing systems for larger workpieces and heavier payloads
- VF600 vertical floor-standing comparator for gravity-assisted part loading and vertical profile measurement
Software
MetLogix measurement software powers the full vision and comparator ecosystem, providing video edge detection, DXF overlay, CAD comparison, and automated reporting across every platform in the range.
- MetLogix M3 full-feature metrology software with GD&T, profile fitting, part programming, and modular add-ons for thread, gear, and CNC workflows
- MetLogix M2 touch-friendly interface for comparators, microscopes, and simpler vision measurement tasks
- Mx200 digital readout with built-in measurement capability, feature constructions, and part programming for optical comparators
- Mx100 rugged comparator readout with multi-axis encoder input and RS-232 data export
