Vision Engineering is unveiling a new digital 3D stereoscopic display technology at Control in Stuttgart.
The Deep Reality Viewer (DRV-Z1) creates stereo high definition 3D images, without using a monitor or requiring operators to wear headsets or specialist glasses: images ‘float’ in front of a mirror.
Paul Newbatt, Vision Engineering’s sales and marketing director said: “TriTeQ blends Vision Engineering’s long-established, industry-proven and award-winning optical stereoscopic technologies and digital monoscopic technologies. DRV-Z1 delivers a technological breakthrough, and is a game changer for inspection and quality control processes.”
Using Vision Engineering’s patented TriTeQ digital 3D display technology, the DRV-Z1 (Zoom model 1) incorporates a microscope and is the first device of its class to be launched by the manufacturer.
Developed to address quality control and assurance requirements in sectors including medical industries, DRV-Z1 is an ergonomic, visual inspection and metrology system designed to reduce operator fatigue and improve accuracy, consistency and productivity.
DRV-Z1 is designed to advance the quality control and production process, by enabling operators to view magnified subjects in 3D, in unprecedented detail, without the need for additional viewing apparatus.
Vision Engineering anticipates this device will be particularly valuable to organisations that model and test components in 3D, as well as facilitating improvements in manufacturing processes such as PCB inspection and reworking.
In Life Science applications, it enables biological samples to be examined in stereoscopic HD 3D, without risking heat damage to tissues.
Mark Curtis, managing director of Vision Engineering said: “Over the past 60 years Vision Engineering has built its reputation on the innovation, quality, performance and ergonomics of our visual inspection and metrology systems. DRV-Z1 provides enhanced 3D visualisation and overcomes current problems with 3D modelling and inspection systems. By amalgamating our existing technologies, we’ve delivered an entirely new concept to our existing customer base, as well as opening up opportunities in fresh markets.”
