WM1 Series Optical & Multisensor Measuring Microscopes

Translate sober requirements into smart ideas, transfer smart ideas into accurate solutions, transform accurate solutions into measurable results – ambitious goals can only be achieved if everyone pulls in the same direction. We call this SIMPLY PRECISE

The WM1 series – precision as flexible as it gets Your perfect all-rounders for the shop floor and the measurement room Schneider’s WM1 measuring microscopes excel across the board: They measure up to exacting standards not only in large groups of companies, but also score high in medium-sized enterprises and in small businesses. This is far from surprising because they come in many different sizes with variable technical features, optional equipment* and a favourable price / performance ratio so that they can be perfectly configured to suit specific customer needs. All devices in the WM1 series...

+ Camera-based, user-independent acquisition of measurement data Video: WM1 + Precise edge detection thanks to smart image processing algorithms + Multitouch panel PC equipped with either measurement and analysis software SAPHIR, SAPHIR smart (intuitive) or M3 + Scalable and upgradable to a 2.5 D multisensor measuring microscope • Standard field of view 13.9 x 9 mm • Manual or motorised zoom objective lens (optional) • High-resolution matrix camera • Continuously adjustable, dimmable LED incident light illumination with both separately and simultaneously switchable segments • Touch-trigger probe...

The optics (ac)counts for quality Experience, know-how and high-end technology Accurate measurement results can only be obtained if the objective lens, the camera and the light source are perfectly calibrated and synchronised to one another. Therefore, it is important to understand and remember that objective lenses are not all alike! For example, black-and-white images are much easier to evaluate with the required precision than colour images. And when it comes to illumination, physical details and wise positioning of each LED matter to the point of making a big difference. Every single model...

Edge detection in transmitted and incident light Nothing goes without the right objective lens ... and without the right image-capturing device: Therefore, all models in the WM1 series feature a 6.4-megapixel blackand-white matrix camera! The dedicated camera comes with an extra-wide field of view and produces excellent images for workpiece measurement in both transmitted and incident light. 1. The wide field of view boosts measurement speed and captures even the minutest details of the workpiece‘s contour. ▲ Principle of transmitted light measurement: The object is imaged with high contrast...

As you like it: Future-proof options for your device Measurement microscopes by Schneider are in use across the board in many industries. Our standard models in the WM1 series work perfectly for most of our customers. For those seeking to upgrade or customise their device in a meaningful way, we offer even more high-tech extra features that are designed to help in saving on space, budget and resources. Optional WM1 technologies – the highlights: ▲ Coaxial incident light illumination: A beam splitter directs the light, in parallel to the optical beam path, to the workpiece down to the deepest...

2. Touch-trigger probe TP200 + 6-way touch-trigger probe for measurements along the three coordinate axes (X / Y / Z) in both directions + Multiple-height measurement (e.g. of stepped bores arranged in different planes) + Acquisition of features that cannot be measured by optical means (e.g. undercuts) Sense and sensitivity – a perfect match: When it comes to measuring soft or delicate workpieces, a low-force module exerting less stylus pressure is available to complement the standard probe. 3. Triangulation laser + Ideal for fast, reproducible height and contour measurement + Automatic scanning...

Colleagues without faults and flaws: robot and cobot If you are looking for powerful assistance in the handling of recurring measurement tasks, in the meticulous sorting of measured parts and in sensitive 100% workpiece testing, why not hook up with the future and upgrade to a robot? Your Schneider measuring microscope is fit for the future because it has all it takes to interface with a robot and even with a collaborating one (cobot)! Anyone thinking that automation...

Smart customisation is key The design concept of the WM1 series is as simple as savvy: Top-notch modular packages – customised to perfection. Our series-manufactured high-tech measuring microscopes form the solid foundation of our range on which we build to offer a wide array of sizes, equipment, accessories as well as extension and upgrade options. This approach enables us to provide the practice-proven leeway our customers need and to deliver cutting-edge technology tailored to suit each customer’s preferences and requirements at an affordable price. Measurement and analysis software – your...

WM1 G series: Compact power for your biggest tasks The same tried and tested technology – incorporated into a larger-scale version and featuring yet another sensor option: This is our WM1 G series. With a respectable measurement range of up to 700 mm x 1,500 mm x 200 mm (X / Y / Z), the measuring microscopes in the G series are mainly conceived for efficient measurement of large workpieces. Space-saving by design No doubt: G-series measuring microscopes are of greater size than those in the WM1 series. And there should be no doubt either that “G” is far from referring to the devices’ “greater...

+ WM1 G includes the whole range of features and benefits afforded by the WM1 series, plus many options for needs-based device adjustment as well as scalability and upgradability to a 2.5 D multisensor measuring machine Video: WM1 G + Ideal for measuring extra-large workpieces + Ingeniously conceived gantry structure in a compact, space-saving design • Measurement range of up to 700 x 1,500 mm • Standard 1.5-fold objective lens magnification • Various zoom objective lenses to choose from* • 3-axis CNC operation • LED incident light illumination with separately switchable segments (standard-included)...
