Testing Todd: Breaking the VoidPCi Purchases Keyence IM-6225 Instant Dimensional Measurement System
January 10, 2017 | Printed Circuits Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Rigid-flex circuit board manufacturer Printed Circuits Inc. has purchased an IM-6225 instant measurement system from Keyence.
The Keyence IM-6225 offers high-speed accurate dimensional measurement capabilities in a small format that is ideal for measuring flex and rigid-flex printed circuit boards.
President Ken Tannehill commented, “The Keyence unit brings us an unusual combination of high speed, high accuracy and ease of use that is hard to find in one machine. We have a CMM that is highly accurate, but slower than the Keyence. We have other units that are faster but are not as accurate as the Keyence. Plus the Keyence has a field of view that is not distracted by three dimensional surfaces, making it ideal for complex flex and rigid-flex surface measurement. This machine can take up to 100 measurements simultaneously in less than two seconds, which is quite impressive, and will make a great tool for our Quality Assurance department and our customers!”
