QM-Fit Smart Vision Delivers Automated Measurement
Mitutoyo America Corporation has announced the launch of the QM-Fit Smart Vision System, representing a bold step forward in optical metrology. Compact yet powerful, the QM-Fit combines advanced automation, precision imaging, and intuitive operation in an all-in-one package designed to bring high-accuracy dimensional inspection to any desktop.
Intuitive Smart Vision for Fast, Accurate Results
At the core of the QM-Fit is a wide field of view that intelligently recognizes part geometry, allowing measurements to be initiated automatically by extracting shapes displayed on the system’s 15.6-inch color touchscreen. By simply placing a part on the stage, operators can trigger instant, non-contact dimensional measurements with no setup or specialized training required.
This streamlined approach allows the system to perform inspections in seconds—whether measuring thin parts, small components, or multiple features at once. The integrated computer, touchscreen interface, and automation software ensure effortless operation, helping manufacturers reduce inspection bottlenecks while maintaining confidence in quality.
High-Resolution Imaging and Advanced Detection
The QM-Fit delivers superior imaging through a 20-megapixel color CMOS camera paired with a telecentric lens, ensuring accuracy and clarity across the entire field of view. Its Automatic Element Detection feature recognizes multiple shapes—including circles, lines, and edges – with a single tap. This eliminates the need to manually define elements in advance, accelerating workflows and reducing operator variability.
Additional productivity-enhancing tools include:
- Caliper Snap: Virtual rulers automatically snap to edges or circles for quick measurements, eliminating the need to align crosshairs manually.
- Smart Recognition Software: Identifies workpieces, determines alignment, and executes measurement routines automatically.
- Magnified Views: Digital magnifications up to 100x allow detailed inspections without compromising speed.
Automated Workflows with Repeatable Accuracy
By automating traditionally complex manual inspection tasks, the QM-Fit allows manufacturers to measure multiple elements instantly, record inspection procedures automatically, and reapply them for repeat parts with zero reprogramming. The system also generates clear pass/fail judgments at a glance, helping teams make fast, data-driven quality decisions.
Measurement Capabilities and Performance
The QM-Fit offers industry-leading performance backed by NIST traceability:
- Measurement accuracy: ±0.000394″ (±10 µm)
- Repeatability: 2σ ≤ 4 μm
- Measurement range: 115 × 75 × 36 mm (4.5″ × 3.0″ × 1.4”)
- Multiple unit outputs: mm, µm, inch, µinch
Lighting flexibility is ensured through stage and 8-quadrant ring illumination, capturing fine details across diverse materials and geometries.
Compact Powerhouse for the Shop Floor or Lab
With its desktop-sized footprint, the QM-Fit brings high-precision optical measurement out of the metrology lab and directly into production environments. By blending high-resolution imaging, intuitive software, and automated inspection, Mitutoyo has delivered a vision system that ensures speed, accuracy, and simplicity—helping manufacturers meet the growing demands of modern quality control.
