Zhengye EC11-4030 / EC11-5040 Advanced Vision Measuring System

Overview

The Zhengye EC11-4030 and EC11-5040 are high-precision, fully automated vision measuring systems engineered for dimensional metrology in quality control laboratories, precision machining facilities, and R&D environments. These instruments operate on the principle of non-contact optical coordinate measurement—capturing high-resolution digital images via a fixed-focus telecentric optical path and CCD sensor, then extracting geometric features (points, lines, circles, arcs, polygons, contours, and profile deviations) through sub-pixel edge detection algorithms. While optimized for two-dimensional planar measurement (X-Y plane), both models support optional tactile probe integration for Z-axis height acquisition—enabling true 3D surface topography analysis and step-height verification. The system’s mechanical architecture integrates air-bearing guideways on X and Y axes, minimizing friction-induced hysteresis and thermal drift, while the Z-axis employs a backlash-free ball-screw drive for stable vertical positioning. All structural components—including the machine base, column, and stage—are fabricated from Jinan Qing Grade 00 natural granite, selected for its exceptional dimensional stability, vibration damping, and long-term creep resistance under static load.

Key Features

• Optical subsystem featuring a 0.7×–5× manually or motorized zoom objective with 90 mm working distance, paired with a high-sensitivity monochrome CCD camera delivering consistent contrast and low-noise image capture across magnifications;
• Air-bearing X/Y motion platform mounted on precision-ground granite ways—ensuring micron-level trajectory fidelity over extended operational cycles without lubrication or wear-related recalibration;
• Ring-type cold-white LED illumination system with uniform intensity distribution and zero infrared emission—eliminating thermal deformation of thermally sensitive samples during prolonged measurement;
• Japanese Panasonic AC servo motors driving all three axes, synchronized via real-time closed-loop position feedback to maintain positional integrity within ±3 µm repeatability;
• Modular software interface supporting both manual feature-based measurement and programmed batch inspection routines with pass/fail decision logic and SPC data logging;
• Scalable hardware architecture accommodating custom large-format configurations up to 2500 × 2000 mm XY travel, with optional integration of Nikon or Olympus metallurgical objectives for surface microstructure correlation.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The EC11 series accommodates a broad spectrum of industrial parts—from micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) components and PCB solder joints to large-scale sheet metal panels and injection-molded housings. Sample weight capacity ranges from 30 kg (standard glass stage) to >100 kg (custom reinforced platforms). The system conforms to fundamental metrological requirements outlined in ISO 10360-7 for vision-based coordinate measuring machines, including traceability of length standards, environmental sensitivity characterization, and uncertainty budgeting methodology. While not certified as FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant out-of-the-box, the AISDA MEASURE VMA 3.00.01 software framework supports configurable user authentication, electronic signatures, and immutable audit trails—facilitating alignment with GLP and GMP documentation protocols when deployed in regulated manufacturing settings.

Software & Data Management

AISDA MEASURE VMA 3.00.01 serves as the embedded metrology engine—providing intuitive graphical programming, multi-step measurement sequences, GD&T evaluation (including true position, concentricity, flatness, and profile tolerances), and statistical process control charting. Raw coordinate data is stored in native binary format with full metadata tagging (operator ID, timestamp, calibration status, environmental logs). Export options include industry-standard CAD-interchange formats (DXF), tabular reports (Excel .xlsx), and narrative documentation (Word .docx), all customizable via XML-based template definitions. Batch processing supports CSV-driven parameter loading and automated report generation with embedded tolerance overlays and color-coded deviation maps. Calibration certificates and system performance verification records are archived alongside measurement datasets to satisfy internal QA record retention policies.

Applications

• Precision machining validation: Verification of CNC-milled features, gear tooth geometry, threaded fasteners, and turbine blade profiles;
• Electronics manufacturing: SMT component placement accuracy, BGA ball coplanarity, flex circuit trace width/spacing, and solder paste volume estimation;
• Automotive supply chain: Sheet metal flange alignment, weld seam contour analysis, gasket thickness mapping, and brake pad wear profiling;
• Medical device production: Catheter tip concentricity, stent strut uniformity, syringe barrel ovality, and implant surface finish correlation;
• Academic research: Microfabrication metrology, thin-film coating edge definition, and additive manufacturing layer fidelity assessment.

FAQ

What is the maximum part size this system can measure?
The EC11-4030 offers 400 × 300 mm XY travel; the EC11-5040 extends to 500 × 400 mm. Custom龙门 (gantry-style) variants support up to 2500 × 2000 mm XY measurement envelopes.
Does the system support automatic focus or autofocus?
Standard configuration uses manual focus; optional motorized focus modules with contrast-based auto-focus algorithms are available upon request for high-throughput applications.
Can the software perform GD&T evaluations such as true position or profile of a surface?
Yes—AISDA MEASURE VMA 3.00.01 includes full ASME Y14.5-compliant GD&T computation, including composite position tolerancing, profile of a line/surface, and runout analysis.
Is calibration certification included with purchase?
Each unit ships with a factory calibration report traceable to national standards (CNAS-accredited lab); on-site ISO/IEC 17025-compliant calibration services are available as an add-on.
What operating system versions are supported?
The system requires Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) or later; Windows 10/11 compatibility is confirmed for VMA 3.00.01 SP2 and newer service packs.
