Vision Engineering Swift PRO Duo Dual Optical and Video Measuring System

The Swift PRO Duo comes with a precision measuring stage sized 200 mm × 100 mm (also available in a 150 × 100 mm option). It can handle parts up to 10 kg maximum load.

• The uncertainty for X, Y (with controlled conditions, 100× magnification) follows the formula U₉₅₂D = 5 + (6.5L/1000) µm, where L is the length in mm.
• For Z (in the 3-axis variant), the accuracy is approximately 10 µm under similar conditions.

Magnification is via quick-change objectives:

• 1× objective → 10× total magnification
• 2× objective → 20× total magnification
• 5× objective → 50× total magnification
• 10× objective → 100× total magnification
  The optical part uses Vision’s patented Dynascope® eyepiece-less, infinity-corrected optical system with twin-pupil design, and a pre-centred crossline graticule to both eyes.

The system lets you switch between video measurement (useful for routine parts with clear, contrasting edges) and optical measurement (useful for features without contrast, like clear plastics, shiny metals, or subtle surface features). You simply press a button to swap modes. This gives greater flexibility depending on part type and inspection challenge.

Yes. There is a 3-axis variant which adds a Z-axis with approximately 98 mm travel. This allows height/profile measurement, in addition to the flat (X-Y) measurements.

The Swift PRO Duo offers both surface illumination and substage illumination. Features include:

• Quadrant surface LED lighting with colour-corrected LEDs.
• Substage/backlight with iris control (to adjust backlight intensity and contrast).
• Illumination control via software (allowing dimming, etc.) so that lighting can be tuned to the part’s surface and material.

The outer dimensions are approximately:

• Width (A) ~ 680 mm (maximum)
• Depth (B) ~ 515 mm
• Height (C) ~ 480 mm

It is relatively compact compared to large, automated measuring machines.

• Though the 200×100 mm stage is sufficient for many parts, very large assemblies or fixtures larger than that will require either multiple setups or larger stage machines.
• High magnification (100×) gives great detail but reduces field of view significantly, which may slow down inspection of large features or require careful positioning.
• In video mode, features with low contrast may not be detected reliably; for those, optical mode (via Dynascope) is necessary, which may require more operator skill / adjustment.
• For height (Z-axis) measurement, the 3-axis variant adds complexity, cost, and possibly longer measuring cycles. Also, environmental factors (vibration, lighting stability) may impact measurement accuracy, especially at high magnification.
