User manual LEICA Z-SERIES BROCHURE

[. . . ] The only zoom systems on the market with full apochromatic correction ­ Leica Z6 APO / Z6 APO A with 6. 3:1 zoom and Leica Z16 APO / Z16 APO A with 16:1 zoom are designed for highly precise inspection in a wide range of manufacturing applications, including integration in machine vision systems. When combined with apochromatic objectives, the Leica Z line is superior to other zoom systems in contrast, sharpness, color fidelity and imaging precision. With the Leica Z6 APO / Z6 APO A and Leica Z16 APO / Z16 APO A, you can raise your quality standards immediately. Optical fiber section Bad solder joint From individual measurement and inspection stations to system integration What's more, we offer components for individual measurement and inspection stations tailored to the needs of customers. The zoom systems include the widest line of accessory products to meet every imaginable examination, training, and documentation task. [. . . ] For this reason, a continuous inspection using stereomicroscopes is no longer possible. Instead, the new Leica Z6 APO A or Z16 APO A zoom systems are ideal for the inspection devices being used. In this case, the operator uses a high-precision XY drive to approach a random number of positions that are subsequently inspected for structural flaws using the high-performance optics of the Leica zoom system. Every position is automatically checked at two different magnifications that are preprogrammed and then automatically approached with the motorized zoom. This method can be applied with all inspection machines for microstructures, such as printed circuit boards. High performance ­ high safety With the Leica Z6 APO A and the Z16 APO A, you are using the only motorized, fully apochromatically corrected zoom systems on the market. Every defect can be detected safely, quickly, and reliably. LEDs that do not heat the specimen are used as illuminators. Transmitted-light solutions Leica's transmitted-light solutions range from simple detachable transmitted-light stages (optical fiber and LED) for our incidentlight bases, to bright- and dark-field transmitted-light bases, and high-performance transmitted-light bases for special contrast methods such as RottermannTM contrast. 9 Lochfrass im Detail 10 Results and analyses including time saved Economic solutions for macrodocumentation Complete documentation solutions are indispensable to more efficiency and higher throughput in laboratories. The Leica Z6 APO A and the Leica Z16 APO A provide powerful prerequisites for this purpose. These zoom systems first macroscopically document the object to be inspected. The resulting images are automatically entered in the image database ­ such as the Leica LAS. In the process, the motorized zoom automatically reports the magnification used to the software; hence, the scale is directly acquired and can be inserted in the image. The instrument is operated via Leica SmartTouchTM. This process can also be applied in forensics, pathology, and in industrial laboratories ­ upon request also with the foot switch so that the hands can be used freely. For the user in the lab and in research, this translates to significant time saved in processing as well as more precise data for analyses and documentation. Reliable test setups for high-tech developments No new high-tech developments without high-performance optics: Only through the observation of highly dynamic processes is it possible to gain precise analyses and information for possible improvements. For this purpose, the Leica zoom systems are combined with a high-speed camera and the test setup is illuminated by a strobe for the recording. Thanks to the motorization of the Leica Z6 APO A or Leica Z16 APO A, the test arrangement can easily be changed and different states can sequentially be recorded without any manual intervention. Even more convenience is provided by the serial interface of the zoom. It leads to the distribution box which allows for direct connection of the Leica SmartTouchTM, the foot switch and the PC. HL RC Durchlichtbasis TFT panel Wafer · Metal plate for universal assembly Wafer with incident illumination 11 From macro to micro In order to maintain 100% quality control, customers entrusted with industrial quality surveillance, as well as Original Equipment Manufacturers, mechanical engineers and automation technicians, expect top performance and flexible construction of the zoom systems they use. Standard interfaces must allow installation in measurement and testing systems, as well as constant monitoring with video systems and modern digital image processing methods. With the largest program of accessories for zoom systems, our customers are perfectly equipped for all present-day and future tasks. [. . . ] We have developed five brand values to live up to this tradition: Pioneering, High-end Quality, Team Spirit, Dedication to Science, and Continuous Improvement. For us, living up to these values means: Living up to Life.
