Overview
The Quadra-Chek 330 series is a family of
advanced digital readout systems for per-
forming 2, 3 and 4 axis measurements at
very high levels of precision and accuracy.
Dimensional inspection of components can
be made using CMM touch probe systems as
part of in-line production activities or final
quality inspection.
Feature points are entered using fixed, index-
ing or friction touch probes. Feature type can
automatically be determined by the system
using Measure Magic technology. Level and
skew compensation can be performed on mis-
aligned parts prior to measurements to eliminate
the need for time-consuming fixturing.
The intuitive interface will be familiar to users of the QC-200 and other Metronics digital readouts. Opera-
tors will find the QC-330 easy to understand and use thanks to the large color touch screen LCD display.
The color LCD displays alphanumeric and graphic information for the current measurement, part features
and measurement data clearly on one screen, eliminating the need to page or scroll or navigate for informa-
tion.
Touch screen controls select the feature to be measured, change operating and display modes, zero axes,
and configure setup parameters. Touch screen controls change to support measurement-specific functions
displayed on the LCD screen.
Front panel keys enter numeric data, turn the LCD on or off and send data to a printer or computer. Two
wide keys located over the LCD can quickly be pressed without looking at the front panel to initiate
frequently used functions programmed by the user. All front panel keys provide tactile sensory feedback,
and key-press operations can be configured to generate an audible sound.
