Environmental Restrictions for Using a Video Measuring Machine (VMM)

Ensuring optimal performance and accuracy when using a Video Measuring Machine (VMM) involves maintaining the right environment. Here are the main factors to consider:

1. Cleanliness and Dust Prevention: VMMs must operate in a dust-free environment to prevent contamination. Dust particles on key components such as guide rails and lenses can compromise measurement accuracy and imaging quality. Regular cleaning is essential to avoid dust buildup and ensure the VMM performs at its peak.

2. Oil Stain Prevention: The VMM’s lens, glass scales, and flat glass must be free of oil stains, as these can disrupt proper operation. Operators are advised to use cotton gloves when handling the machine to prevent direct contact with hands.

3. Vibration Isolation: The VMM is highly sensitive to vibrations, which can significantly impact measurement accuracy. When the frequency is below 10Hz, the surrounding vibration amplitude should not exceed 2um; at frequencies between 10Hz and 50Hz, acceleration should not exceed 0.4 Gal. If controlling the vibration environment is difficult, it is recommended to install vibration dampeners.

4. Lighting Conditions: Direct sunlight or intense light should be avoided, as it can interfere with the VMM’s sampling and judgment processes, ultimately impacting accuracy and potentially damaging the device.

5. Temperature Control: The ideal operating temperature for a VMM is 20±2℃, with fluctuations kept within 1℃ over a 24-hour period. Extreme temperatures, whether high or low, can degrade measurement precision.

6. Humidity Control: The environment should maintain humidity levels between 30% and 80%. Excessive humidity can cause rusting and hinder the smooth movement of mechanical components.

7. Stable Power Supply: To operate efficiently, the VMM requires a reliable power supply of 110-240VAC, 47-63Hz, and 10 Amp. Stability in power ensures consistent performance and longevity of the equipment.

8. Keep Away from Heat and Water Sources: The VMM should be positioned away from heat sources and water to prevent overheating and moisture damage.

Meeting these environmental standards guarantees that your video measuring machine will deliver precise measurements and maintain long-term stability.
