Product Description
Hamamatsu C3162 X-Y Tracker – 2-Dimensional Displacement Measurement System
This used Hamamatsu C3162 X-Y Tracker is a precision optical measurement instrument designed for high-speed, real-time tracking of moving objects . It is part of the Hamamatsu C3160 series of video measuring units, which are used in industrial automation (FA) and laboratory automation (LA) applications for non-contact measurement .
About the Hamamatsu C3160 Series :
The C3160 series are high-precision, real-time image measuring systems . They work by processing input from a video camera (such as a CCD camera) to perform non-contact measurements on targets ranging in size from building structures down to microscopic IC patterns .
The series includes several specialized models :
-
C3161 Width Analyzer: Measures dimensions (width/length) and 1-dimensional displacement (position)
-
C3162 X-Y Tracker: Measures 2-dimensional displacement (position) and provides automatic tracking of moving objects
-
C3163 Area Analyzer: Measures surface area
-
C3160 Percept Scope: Combines all of the above measurement functions
