IM-8000 Series Automation
Substantially Reduces
Measurement Time
Simultaneous Measurements Performed in Seconds
Measurements on up to 300 dimensions can be completed in seconds, greatly
reducing the resources spent on measurement work.
Intuitive Interface That Anyone Can Use
Now, any operator can take accurate measurements; Simply press the
‘Measure’ button to measure all the specified dimensions.
Measure Small, Large, and Three-dimensional Parts
The rotary unit coupled with advanced detection capability supports a wide range of
shapes. Three-dimensional parts can be precisely measured.

Before
Conventional Measurement Tools
SLOW
Adjusting complex xtures for part placement and datum setup is time
consuming
Increasing the number of parts or measurement points can mean an
exponential increase in required time
Data management and creating inspection reports can be tedious
INCONSISTENT
Differences in the way the tool is used can result in inconsistent values
Changes in focus by different operators result in inconsistent values
Measurements rely heavily on operator judgement and experience
COMPLICATED
Learning how to operate the measuring instrument takes time
Dimensions requiring virtual lines or points add a layer of complexity
Measurements can only be performed by trained operators

After
The IM-8000Series Solves These Problems
FAST
No time consuming positioning work or datum setup required
Measure up to 300 dimensions on up to 100 parts with the push of a button
Automatically saves measurement data and creates inspection reports
CONSISTENT
Automatically identies measurement points, ensuring that the same
measurement results are obtained each time
Automated focus adjustment prevents inconsistent values
The simple place-and-press operation means consistent measurement
results regardless of the operator
EASY
Easily set up measurements with just a few clicks
Setting up virtual lines and points is just as simple
No measurement expertise is required to measure parts

NEW
Dimensional Measurement in as Little as One Second
A new function enables instant measurement just by placing the
parts on the stage. This feature greatly reduces production
costs when the number of measurements is large.
Parts placed on the stage are measured instantaneously.

Simultaneous Measurements on Multiple Parts
By preparing a program file with measurement points and conditions, up to 300 dimensions per part and up to 100 parts can be
measured simultaneously. This function saves time and effort even with many parts and measurement points.
Drawing Measurement result
Find Program Files Quickly
Just place the QR code printed on an inspection report on the stage to read the
program file. This function ensures the correct file selection even when there are
many file types.

Automated Focus Adjustments
The IM- 8000 is equipped with a specifically designed optical lens with a large depth of field. It can automatically bring measurement
points into focus. This is useful for parts with uneven surfaces, where all of the measurement areas cannot be brought into focus at the
same time.
Parts with large height differences
Only the upper edges are in focus. Only the lower edges are in focus.
The focus is automatically adjusted
for measurement
Automatic Edge Detection
Sub-pixel processing
By splitting each pixel into 100 or more sub-pixels, the IM-8000 is able to provide a wide field of view while maintaining its high-
precision measurement capability.
One pixel of the light
receiving element
Without sub-pixel processing With sub-pixel processing
Shape processing
Lines and circles are detected using least square fitting of 100 or more* detection points.
* There may be less than 100 points depending on the shape.
Automatic identification of burrs and chips
Burrs and chips found in the detection area are automatically recognised and removed from the fitting
process as abnormal locations. It is also possible to set the system to interrupt measurement when
burrs or chips are found that are larger than a particular threshold.

Intuitive Menus and Built-in Procedures Manual
The programming procedure is very intuitive. While viewing a part, simply select what points, lines, circles, virtual lines, and other
features to measure. Animations showing the operation methods and a procedures manual showing operation flow are provided for
each menu. These on-screen procedures let anyone configure program settings with confidence.
NEW
Automated Diagnostic Function
This new function diagnoses the stability of each measurement point during programming, displaying variations in measured items in
a way that is easy to understand. This makes it easier and faster to create program settings.
Errors can be detected before measurement.
Automatic Measurement Function
The automatic measurement function enables measurement of a single part or a small quantity of mixed parts with no setup.
This function can automatically detect measurement points on parts up to 300 × 200 mm, even if the parts have not been measured
before.
