NEXIV VMZ-S3020 - Higher speeds than ever before

High accuracy, high speed, and high usability. Realizes tolerance management at the micro level. Reaching the peak of video measurement performance all within a compact system.

Nikon’s excellent optics give high accuracy and repeatability across the field of view, increasing speed of measurement. VMZ-S3020 offers a 300 x 200 x 200 (X x Y x Z)mm stroke suitable for measurement of small components such as semiconductor, electronic, and mechanical.

Product overview

• With the growth of self-driving car sensor technology alongside the full EV market of automotive industry, the number of electronic components required and installed are greatly increasing. Strict quality control is required for these critical components and so expectations for shop floor measuring equipment is getting higher.
• Nikon provides the "NEXIV VMZ-S" series suitable for measuring these challenging applications.

Improvement of throughput

Throughput has improved by realizing faster short-distance stage movements. This contributes to the shortening of the measurement time.

New Design

Along with the exterior design change, the joystick used for stage and optical head movements has been redesigned to make machine operation easier and less tiring during long periods of use.

Measurement programming support

Dimension software NEXIV AutoMeasure realizes high precision / high speed / easy measurement with many valuable functions. An important new function supports the measurement program creation processes. By selecting the measurement point, several settings are handled by the system and measurement program code is created automatically.*

*This function is for workpieces with simple shape structure.

Guide of conditions: With diascopic illumination. Components with perforations or voids with clearly detected edge contours, without significant variations, or material contamination. (circle, rectangle, and circular arc)

Digital operation guide NEXIV Note

This function offers slides and movie output together with NEXIV contents, such as basic operations and functions. Simple measurement programs can be created easily by using to this application.

High magnification zooming heads: type 4, TZ

Type 4 and TZ models have Nikon’s 15× and 120× zoom optics with higher magnification and highest NA of 0.46. Type 4 comes with LED episcopic and diascopic illuminators, as well as an LED 8-segment ring illuminator with a 50-degree incident angle. TZ has LED episcopic, diascopic (for higher magnification) and darkfield illuminators.

Detection of 0.1 mm transparent layer

Designed to detect the surfaces of thin transparent materials, the new TTL Laser AF works with the same high speed and high accuracy as the VMR series Laser AF.

8-segment ring illumination with three incident angles

Standard magnification zooming heads (type 1-3) come with 8-segment LED inner and outer ring illuminators as well as episcopic and diascopic illuminators. Incident angles of 37, 55 and 75 degrees, illumination directions by combining any 8-segment lights and light intensity can be adjusted.

* The incident angle of the 8-segment ring illuminator for type 4 is 50 degrees and for type A is 18 degrees.

15x High-speed Zoom

A 5-step, high-speed optical zoom with a zoom ratio of 15:1 allows both wide field-of-view at low magnification and highest-resolution observation at the maximum magnification position (type 1 – 4).
