Dimension Measurement

Using Edge Detection

1. Points of Variation within a Window (Edge Detection)

Over the target shape that needs to be detected, set X and Y windows as shown in the figure below. Inside these windows the first shade change (or color change) is recognized as an edge and its X and Y coordinates are detected.

2. Using a Variety of Tools to Measure the Distance Between Edges

Outer diameter measurement

Inner diameter measurement

Easy Measurement of Diameter

This function allows measurement of outer or inner diameter by detecting the distance between outer edges or inner edges.

Center pitch

Gap pitch

Distance Measurement of Multiple Pins

This function measures the distance of multiple edges within the window to obtain maximum, minimum, and average pitch.

No. of edge
Number of edges

Position detection

Easy Edge Count Measurement

This function measures the number of edges (bright to dark or dark to bright) within the window.

3. Inspection Examples

Connector Pin Pitch Measurement

The maximum, minimum, and averag center pitch of all connector pins are measured and if either the maximum or minimum value is out of tolerance, it is detected as defective.
