QVI® Introduces New Fusion 350 Large Field of View Metrology System at IMTS 2018

QVI Fusion systems are innovative measurement tools that combine a large field of view (LFOV) optical system with available touch probe, laser, and micro-sensors to produce a family of uniquely productive metrology systems.

Innovative Optics, Multisensor Measurement Tools Offer Enhanced ProductivityQVI® (Quality Vision International, www.qvii.com) introduces its new Fusion 350 large field of view multisensor metrology system, unveiling it to the public at IMTS 2018, McCormick Place, Chicago, September 10-15, in QVI Booth E-135602.


QVI Fusion systems are innovative measurement tools that combine a large field of view (LFOV) optical system with available touch probe, laser, and micro-sensors to produce a family of uniquely productive metrology systems.

The new Fusion 350 is designed to characterize large parts or groups of small parts that primarily require two-dimensional measurement.
The heart of Fusions capability lies in its large field optical system, which allows high accuracy imaging of a wide area — up to 100 mm. QVIs exclusive image analysis software tools can instantly process and identify all features and dimensions within the field of view, with no need for a pre-programmed measurement routine. If a measurement routine has been prepared, Fusions AutoID feature allows placement of any previously programmed part or multiple parts anywhere on the stage, even without fixturing, and Fusion will identify the parts and automatically measure them.

Fusion 350 is ideal for high speed measurement of 2D parts. With its large 450 x 450 mm measuring area and flexible dual magnification optics, it can easily accommodate large parts or groups of smaller parts, and measure both large and small feature sizes. AutoID and Feature Extraction identify and measure single or multiple parts instantly. DRS™ laser and TP20 touch trigger probe are available options for precise three-axis measurements.

All Fusion models are equipped with QVI ZONE3® Express CAD-based 3D metrology software. ZONE3 features a clear, simple user interface, and its kinematic model simulates the machine, part, fixtures, and measuring sensors, updated in real time. Built-in productivity maximizing tools, integrated GD&T functionality, and visual validation of measurement intent offer speed and power to the measurement process. ZONE3 supports simultaneous use of multiple sensors, making appropriate tools available for complex measurement tasks.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
