(The L.S. Starrett Co.: Athol, MA) -- The L.S. Starrett Co., a global manufacturer of precision tools and metrology equipment and other tools, has introduced the Galileo AV230+, a small, rugged video-based, multi-sensor measurement system. Built with a granite base and Z column structure, this system was developed specifically to measure microelectronics, micro-machined components, and a variety of other small but often heavy specialized parts. The Galileo AV230+ is the smallest member of the Galileo Plus Series of motorized, computer numerical controlled (CNC) multi-sensor video measurement systems. The series also includes the AV300+ and AV350+, which Starrett will display at IMTS 2010 in booth E-5403.

The AV230+ is built around a granite base and column and has a 9 × 6 × 7 in. (225 × 150 × 175 mm) X-Y-Z measuring range. The strength, rigidity and precision of granite are usually available only in larger systems. As a result, this robust, precision mechanical platform delivers X-Y accuracy of E2 = 1.5 + 5L/1,000 µm and Z accuracy of E1 = 2.0 + 5L/1,000 µm.
Starrett’s Galileo AV230+ vision system combines its precision mechanical platform, 12:1 zoom optics, digital video camera, and standard coaxial illumination to produce high-resolution color images. Available as options are select fiber optics, LED surface ring illumination, transmitted illumination, as well as several auxiliary lenses.
The AV230+ includes Quadra-Chek QC5300 metrology software. This powerful software provides an intuitive user interface, state-of-the-art ergonomics, as well as powerful data import, export, and data analysis tools.
The AV230+ platform is also available as the AV230micro, equipped with high-magnification microscope optics in place of a zoom lens. The rigid, precision granite superstructure of the AV230micro allows for applications that require high magnification levels and specialized microscopy illumination.
“The Galileo AV230+ is Starrett’s most customizable microscope platform for measuring and inspecting microelectronics and micro-machined parts,” says Mark Arenal, general manager, metrology systems division, The L.S. Starrett Co. “Since the AV230+ offers a wide range of configurations, it supports a variety of optional optical assemblies and lenses including lasers.”
