Micro-Vu Corporation Reviews

Good inspection system

Speed 4 / Price 4 / Quality 4

It is a decent inspection system, but other systems have fared better such as Keyence systems. It does have multi-axis measurement capabilities (x,y,z,r) which is helpful.

Strengths: Good inspection system for measuring components. Good non-contact measurement capabilities. Good resolution when it comes to lighting of the part.

Needs to improve: Technical support was disappointing when they came to repair our system. The technician was inexperienced, unprepared, and took longer than it should have.

Optical Measurement System

Speed 4 / Price 3 / Quality 4

MicroVu makes very capable vision measurement systems. My recent experience with a higher end system was good, but it felt somewhat cumbersome to drop a couple parts on the glass and take some rough measurements. The ability to automate tedious measurements will most likely more than make up for this.

Strengths: Nice vision measurement systems

Needs to improve: interface can get overly complicated

We use Micro-Vu systems at R&D and (IQC) Incoming Inspection areas. It's easy to use with the measurement software and very little training prior to use. I like is because it is simple and not like other measurement system like the Smart Scope with intensive training prior to use)

Strengths: Great measurement system
