How High-Precision Vision Measuring Machines Empower Geometric Dimension Measurement for Watch Components

In precision manufacturing, watch components often require micron-level tolerances where traditional measurement methods struggle to balance efficiency and accuracy. Sinowon's innovative Vision Measuring Machines and Optical Measurement Machines (OMM) deliver non-contact measuring solutions with intelligent analysis systems, revolutionizing geometric dimension measurement for the watchmaking industry.

Challenges & Requirements in Watch Component Inspection

A wristwatch comprises hundreds of micro-components (case, gears, dial, hands, etc.) whose geometric parameters directly impact timekeeping accuracy and longevity:

• Case Structures: Flatness (±5μm), bore concentricity, thread depth
• Gear Systems: Module ≤0.1mm, tooth profile accuracy per ISO 1328
• Dial Markings: Line width tolerance <0.01mm

While traditional calipers/projectors risk human error, Sinowon's Video Measuring Systems achieve ±1.5μm accuracy through high-resolution CCDs and multi-axis motion control for full 3D automation.

Core Advantages of Sinowon Vision Measuring Machines

• High-Precision Optical System

500MP industrial camera + 20X optical zoom enables 0.001mm repeatability for sapphire crystal thickness and hairspring diameter measurements.

• Intelligent Geometric Analysis Software

Auto-feature recognition for 30+ GD&T parameters (roundness, straightness, position)

Real-time CAD comparison with contour mapping

• Non-Contact Flexible Measurement

LED cold + telecentric optics prevent scratches on fragile components (e.g., ceramic bezels).
