Vision Engineering DRV-Z1 Digital 3D Imaging System

The DRV-Z1 offers an optical zoom ratio of 10x, with objective lens options giving approx. 6.1× up to 93× magnification. There’s also 2× digital zoom available.

• With the 0.33× lens, the working distance is approx. 182 mm and you get a large field of view (about 65 × 37 mm) at minimum zoom.
• Higher magnification reduces field of view: with, for example, the 0.5× lens at high zoom, you see smaller areas (~ 43 × 24 mm) but with much greater detail.

No. The DRV-Z1 produces full stereoscopic 3D HD images without any special glasses or goggles. The 3D effect floats in front of your eyes using patented vision technology.

The DRV-Z1 supports:

• USB2 for image capture to a USB drive.
• HDMI outputs to connect to external monitors or to link multiple DRV-Z1 units.
• Software options for on-screen measurement, annotation, and remote view via compatible software (e.g. ViPlus, DimensionOne, DimensionTwo).

• Head movement is free (no need to stay fixed), thanks to its optical design.
• It has a counterbalanced stand with 150 mm vertical travel so operators can adjust height for more comfortable posture.
• Because no glasses are required and the system offers a large field of view, it reduces eye strain and fatigue during longer inspection or repair tasks.

• There are Short Base and Long Base options. The Long Base can include sub-stage (transmitted) illumination for translucent / thin samples.
• The subject plate in the Long Base is reversible (black / white background) to optimise contrast depending on the part being inspected.

• Though digital zoom helps, resolution and image clarity ultimately depend on optical magnification; at very high zooms, field of view becomes quite small.
• Illumination options may affect visibility on very reflective, transparent, or strongly textured surfaces: choosing the right lighting / base option is important.
• Size, cost, and infrastructure: it’s a premium system, so space, stable bench or stand, and suitable power and HDMI / USB peripherals are required.
• For some specialised measurement tasks, an external PC + software (e.g. ViPlus) may be needed to fully leverage measurement, annotation, or reporting functions.

• Electronics inspection / repair / rework where 3D depth perception helps with solder joints, fine pitch components.
• Medical device manufacture, precision engineering, aerospace, where critical tolerances and inspection are required.
• Prototyping / QC labs where capturing and sharing 3D images / video remotely is beneficial.
• Use cases with translucent, thin, or reflective samples where transmitted light (sub-stage illumination) and large working distances help in inspection.
