The 5050PC is a Smartscope vision measuring system in Sanwood Technology's precision measurement lineup. Built on a cross-table aluminum base with high-precision HIWIN V-type guide rails, it combines CCD imaging with advanced image processing algorithms to deliver UM-level dimensional measurement for quality control, tolerance verification, and profile comparison in manufacturing and metrology labs.

What measurement functions does the 5050PC support?

The system handles geometry measurement of points, lines, circles, arcs, blind holes, counterbores, angles, heights, slopes, and steps. It also supports curve and profile measurement, plus comparison measurement against reference data. The four-axis motion control card coordinates X/Y transmission via a patented toothless nut gear design, while the Z axis uses a DSP digital controller with stepper motor — the three axes remain mechanically independent to prevent mutual interference.

How does the optical system ensure measurement accuracy?

A 0.7X–4.5X MZ zoom lens with freeze-frame fixed magnification is paired with a 3MP high-precision CMOS camera featuring black-and-color dual-module imaging. Four programmable LED light sources — coaxial top light, ring light, bottom light, and laser — provide uniform illumination regardless of workpiece surface finish. The system achieves 3.0 + L/200 μm accuracy across the full 50 × 50 mm measurement range, with an optional 0.5 μm resolution upgrade available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 5050PC and other Smartscope models?

The 5050PC is defined by its 50 × 50 mm measurement range — the naming convention encodes the X/Y travel directly. Larger Smartscope models offer extended travel for bigger workpieces, while the 5050PC targets small-to-medium precision parts requiring UM-level accuracy within a compact measurement envelope.

Does it require a climate-controlled lab?

Yes. The specified accuracy of 3.0 + L/200 μm is guaranteed at 20 ± 2 °C with temperature variation not exceeding 1 °C per hour. For sub-micron measurements, environmental stability is essential — this applies to all vision measuring systems in this accuracy class.
