ASH Launches New 4K Ultra HD Digital Solution: VANTAGE

ASH Launches New 4K Ultra HD Digital Microscope: VANTAGE.

VANTAGE is an advanced microscope system designed to redefine precision and efficiency. Equipped with cutting-edge software applications, VANTAGE offers unparalleled clarity, functionality and ease of use. The introduction of this new product will set a new standard in visual quality control.  

VANTAGE will empower ASH customers to streamline inspection processes, minimise product waste, boost throughput, lower operational costs, and safeguard their brand and reputation.

VANTAGE features a 4K ultra-high-definition camera that delivers stunning image quality, capturing even the smallest details with incredible precision. This advanced imaging technology allows users to observe samples in real-time with four times the resolution of standard HD. This will ensure that every inspection is performed with the highest level of accuracy.  

The range of optional software applications include:

1. 2D Measurement & Graticules App

A suite of 2D measurement and annotation features. This app includes point-to point, spline, polygon, area, and many other tools, to ensure critical dimensions for product design meet technical specifications. Using the snap to edge feature removes operator subjectivity from the measuring process ensuring repeatable measurements. Factory calibration means there is no need to calibrate at each magnification change. Measurement in the z-axis can also be performed using spot height measurement.  

2. Image Stacking App:

This app allows you to view a sample with different heights all in focus at the same time. This allows inspection efficiency without the need for multiple focus adjustments.  

3.  Overlay Comparator App:

This is an ideal software application for the electronics industry. The overlay comparator allows the creation of an image overlay of a master image to identify defects by overlaying and flashing the live sample image against the stored master image. This application supports identification of issues early in production between gold sample and test sample. This app reduces the risk of costly reworks and wastage.  

4. Side by Side Comparator App:

Visually compare your live sample to a stored master image in the form of a split screen for rapid identification of differences against the master sample. Acting as a visual reference, the side-by-side comparator helps manufacturers identify defects or non-conformities early on before they become more serious and expensive to fix.  

5. DXF Import/Export App:

Use your DXF files to create a digital overlay template. Imported DXF files can be edited and annotated for rapid go/no-go testing. DXF files can also be exported for reverse engineering purposes. This will eliminate time consuming hand measuring and redrawing.  

VANTAGE is compatible with ASH’s wide range of accessories. Our ASH accessories allow users to customise their setup to meet specific needs.
