Economical, Durable Choice For Demanding Part Inspection And Measurement.

The Starlite was designed to be installed on the user's benchtop, and to meet demanding optical inspection and measurement needs accommodating parts up to 13". Starlite comes with three Z options: 3", 6" or our popular 12". The Starlite is powered by the Q-Check® Digital Readout, the Metronics QC200 digital readout, or by the optional AutoCheck® with Gage-X® software.

The Q-Check is a powerful, microprocessor-based measurement system that substantially increases the productivity of your manual inspection process. With XYZ computational capability, measurement memory and print options, Q-Check makes optical inspections easier than ever before.

Gage-X is dimensional metrology software designed specifically for video measurement systems with manual stages. With an extensive array of measurement tools, including the CompuFocus™ Motorized Zoom, intelligent edge detection, user friendly icons and a point and click interface, Gage-X makes it simple for everyone to get accurate, repeatable measurements.

*Applies to thermally stable system in rated environment, maximum zoom lens setting, and evenly distributed 5 kg load.

Depending on load distribution, accuracy at maximum rated load may be less than standard accuracy.

XY axis artifact: QVI 25 intersection grid reticle at standard measuring plane.   The standard measuring plane is defined as a plane that is 1" off of the work table.

Z axis artifact: QVI step gage.
