The Digital Sight 100 can be used in combination with full line-up of industrial microscopes and measuring microscopes. The digital camera offers high-definition, high-level color reproducibility, and an efficient workflow from viewing, recording, and sharing information, through the combination with Nikon’s NIS-Elements software. The Digital Sight 100 is expected to be used in a wide range of industries where users will be able to take high-quality images and smoothly share information.

Key Features

  • High-definition / high-level color reproducibility / high frame rate
    When combined with industrial microscopes (FN16), the Digital Sight 100 delivers 6.5-megapixel resolution (2944×2208 pixels), ensuring clear capture of fine structural details and rich color information. The camera alone delivers 17.7-megapixel resolution and supports wide-field imaging up to 4864 x 3648 pixels (FN25).
  • Works on multiple device interfaces
    As it is compatible with USB 3.2, HDMI, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet, operators can flexibly operate and share information from the camera even to distant locations.
  • Intuitive operability and software integration
    Operators can reduce their workloads with easy operations by using the camera with Nikon’s NIS-Elements LE software, as well as the latest versions of NIS-Elements AR/BR/D (to be released in January 2026).

The Digital Sight 100 provides excellent comfort and high-definition images for a wide range of observation methods. The combination with software makes viewing, recording, and sharing more efficient. Sales launch for the Digital Sight 100 will be January 9, 2026.

OGP Announces Large Capacity SmartScope M130 M-Series, the Latest in the Next Evolution of the World’s Most Popular 3D Multisensor Metrology Systems  https://industrialmachinerydigest.com/quality/video-inspection/ogp-announces-large-capacity-smartscope-m130-m-series-the-latest-in-the-next-evolution-of-the-worlds-most-popular-3d-multisensor-metrology-systems/ Wed, 20 Aug 2025 20:25:52 +0000 https://industrialmachinerydigest.com/?p=139356 Optical Gaging Products (OGP®), a world-leading manufacturer of optical and precision multisensor metrology systems for industrial quality control, is proud to announce the newest addition to the next evolution of SmartScope® 3D Multisensor Metrology systems: SmartScope M130.

For leading manufacturers crafting large, heavy parts, SmartScope M130 ushers in the next generation of enhancements in image accuracy, optics, and throughput in a new large format 3D multisensor video measurement platform.

Tim Fantauzzo, VP North American Sales, remarked, “The SmartScope M-Series family has quickly been adopted by manufacturers seeking unrivaled confidence in repeatability and reliability. Larger parts obviously can contain many more detailed features. The M130 optical system is truly telecentric with no distortion, so manufacturers making large, heavy parts can achieve more accurate measurements particularly at low magnification with far more part features in the field of view.”

At the core of SmartScope M130 is the patented* IntelliCentric-M Optical System, featuring fixed optics with a 20-megapixel camera and proprietary VIRTUAL ZOOM™ technology. Built from the ground up at OGP headquarters in Rochester, NY, the streamlined IntelliCentric-M optics employ a variety of exclusive technologies allowing for instant magnification changes throughout the same zoom range as a traditional mechanical zoom system, resulting in faster runtime while requiring far less downtime for maintenance.

OGPSmartScope M130 is the ideal choice for manufacturers making large parts that require advanced throughput solutions. The IntelliCentric-M optical system combined with advanced sensors, illumination, and accessories, achieves class-leading optical measurement speeds.

With a robust standard XYZ travel of 790 x 815 x 200 mm, optional 300 or 400 mm Z-axis, and payload capacity of 75 kg (165 lbs), SmartScope M130 offers next-generation M-Series benefits to manufacturers producing large parts. A new innovative base design results in a lower stage height, allowing users to load and unload heavy parts or oversized fixtures with ease.

OGP President Steve Flynn, said, “Since 1992, OGP SmartScope systems have helped thousands of manufacturers around the world achieve confidence in their quality programs. With SmartScope M130, we’ve applied the latest evolutions in optics and software in a larger format, creating the next generation of leading metrology solutions for manufacturers making large and heavy parts.

“M-Series systems take full advantage of the advanced edge detection algorithms, parallel processing, and routine optimization found in ZONE3 Metrology Software to deliver advanced throughput and enhanced accuracy for manufacturers in any industry. We are excited for our customers producing large parts that have realized these benefits on their compact format M-Series systems, as well as new OGP users alike, to discover how SmartScope M130 will vastly improve their inspection operations.”

Xiris Releases NIR Weld Camera System: Setting New Standards in Open Arc Welding https://industrialmachinerydigest.com/quality/video-inspection/xiris-releases-nir-weld-camera-system-setting-new-standards-in-open-arc-welding/ Tue, 22 Jul 2025 19:39:26 +0000 https://industrialmachinerydigest.com/?p=139106
Xiris Automation is pleased to announce the release of its NIR (Near Infrared) Weld Camera System with a remarkable 140+ dB High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging capability with advanced NIR illumination that can be synchronized to the camera. Tailored especially for open arc welding processes where a clear view of the arc and surrounding background is needed, the NIR Weld Camera System delivers crystal clear views of the welding electrode, weld arc, melt pool, and surrounding background.

With its modular design of camera plus up to 3 remote LED light sources, the system can seamlessly integrate with any welding automation equipment, providing excellent image quality for process research, additive manufacturing, welding education and welding production applications without the use of dangerous to eye lasers.

Using a NIR camera and NIR LED illumination together, the system generates stable, robust images of high contrast weld features that enables both manual remote monitoring as well as advanced Machine Vision analysis. The LED illumination module can be mounted remotely from the camera, providing flexible optical setups.

Stable, high contrast images are key to making precise geometric measurements and defect detection of weld processes. Combined with Xiris’ AI-powered machine vision package WeldStudio™, users can measure and track vital welding features, or detect defects in their process to meet the demands of even the most challenging fabrication standards in use today.

The Near Infrared Camera System is an excellent choice for production welding equipment, suitable for integration into most types of weld automation systems, particularly for demanding GMAW and GTAW processes.
