VQC / CAD COMPARISON
Contour deviation comparison in the actual VQC software
Actual software · Measured contours compared with CAD
See CAD comparison

Consistent readings

One sample hole: 2.88 mm at all three tested positions.

Specified accuracy

MPEE ±(30 + L/50) µm, with L in mm. Confirm the specification for your configuration.

Flexible positioning

Position the part within the measuring area and align its contour with CAD.

Raised features on both sides

The sample has bulges and raised rings on its two sides.

Uneven sheet parts

The same uneven sample gave in-tolerance spacing at both tested positions.

One inspection workflow

Scan, compare and report — with dimensions and tolerances in one place.

Raised or warped parts: suitability depends on height, visible contours and required tolerances. Confirm with a sample inspection.

Common questions

Which parts can VQC inspect?

VQC checks profiles, hole positions and related dimensions on opaque flat parts. The workflow shown here does not inspect 3D surfaces, thickness or surface defects.

How do we assess inspection time and investment value?

Compare the full loading, scanning, review and reporting cycle using representative parts, alongside your inspection volume and current process.

What should we prepare for a part evaluation?

Bring a representative part, CAD / DXF drawing and key tolerances. Tell us which checks take the most effort.

LET’S MAKE QUALITY VISIBLE.
