parts under conditions different from those controlling the stated dimensional specifications for these parts. Before performing critical parts measurements, allow the system to warm up and temperature stabilize for 30 minutes. 1.6 Safety Considerations

General Safety

KineMic vision metrology systems are designed for safety and proper ergonomics during normal use. Exercise caution when lifting, handling or moving the systems to maintain calibration and measurement performance. Disconnect all power sources prior to moving or working on the equipment. Consult SKE if you have any question regarding transporting, using or maintaining the systems. KineMic vision metrology systems do not contain hazardous AC line voltages, as these are contained on the input side of the system’s AC adapters, which are UL listed. Even at these low voltages, there is the potential of electrical component damage caused by accidental short circuits. For maximum electrical safety and minimal risk to the equip- ment, follow the guidelines below:  Ensure that the power receptacles for the AC adapters are properly grounded 3- prong polarized 120V AC types for use in North America or appropriate safety-rated receptacles for use outside of North America.  Do not operate the systems with housings open except for service by a factory trained technician.  Keep liquids away from the systems, and do not operate the equipment in excessively humid conditions, as water can cause short circuits.  Keep metal filings away from the systems, as such debris can cause short circuits.  Do not operate the equipment around volatile or flammable solvents, as local electrical heating could cause ignition.  Disconnect power, or do not plug in the power cord, if hazardous conditions exist such as a damaged or frayed power cord, a damaged or improperly grounded power recep- tacle, equipment exposure to liquid spills or excessive moisture, or impact damage. Have the system inspected by authorized personnel before operating.  There are no fuses or user-serviceable items in the systems. System should only be opened by a factory-trained service technician.

2. KineMic Product Line Overview SKE’s KineMic video microscopes are a family of seven modular, versatile and affordable inspec- tion and vision metrology systems. These are intended for receiving inspection, quality assurance, training, manufacturing assembly, research, and documentation – wherever easy setup and a range of magnifications are required. Each of the systems is described in a separate section of this manual. The seven systems are summarized below: 2.1 KineMic Zoom XGA Basic, P/N KMR-XGA

This a basic video microscope inspection system, where the part to be inspected is placed on an illuminated base, and a highly magnified image of the part is rendered on a 19” video monitor using a color XGA video camera and 6.5:1 magnifying zoom optics. No need to squint into a microscope eyepiece. The video camera is connected directly to the monitor – no need for a computer or pro- gramming. An optional boom stand can provide a stable mount for hard-to-reach places. 2.2 KineMic Zoom with D1 Software, P/N KMR-D1

This affordable and very easy to use computer- based video inspection system features 6.5:1 magnifying zoom optics with six detents, a 24” touch-screen monitor, and Shuttle PC with MetLogix D1 software. This Windows ® based software allows image markup and archiving on disk, as well as printout and emailing. It also provides basic measurement capabilities for points, lines, circles, angles and distances. To make measurements, crosshairs are positioned manually on the screen by using a mouse or pressing the computer touch-screen directly.

2.3 KineMic Zoom XGA with 50 mm Micrometer Stage, P/N KMR-50-XGA This is a video toolmaker’s microscope which combines the XGA video camera and 6.5:1 magnifying zoom optics of the XGA basic model with a 50 x 50 mm (2” x 2”) X-Y stage with X and Y micrometers. The micrometers move the stage in the X and Y directions and also display the stage position digitally with a resolution of 0.001 mm or 0.00005”. Accurate measurements

are taken as the magnified image is moved under crosshairs generated by the camera. Pushbuttons select mm or inches, zero the display, and can add a zero point offset if desired. The XGA camera is connected directly to the monitor – no need for a computer or pro- gramming. The measurement of small parts has never been easier or more direct.

4. Product Details by Model 4.1 KineMic XGA Zoom Basic, P/N KMR-XGA

4.1.1 System Description The KineMic XGA Zoom Basic is a microscope inspection system where the part to be inspected is placed on a base, and a highly magnified image of the part shows on a 19” video monitor using a color XGA video camera and 6.5:1 magnifying zoom optics. No need to squint into a microscope eyepiece. The video camera is connected directly to the monitor – no need for a computer or pro- gramming. Intensities of an LED top ring light and an LED backlight in the base are controlled by two knobs. An optional boom stand provides a stable mount for hard-to-reach places. 4.1.2 Metrology Unit Dimensions

Brightness adjustment knobs (top) and height adjustment knobs (bottom)

Knurled rotary control for zoom adjustment

4.1.3 Getting Started 

Unpack the two boxes which contain the microscope unit and the XGA monitor.  Place the microscope unit and XGA monitor on a desktop or workbench. Provide a minimum width of 75 cm (30”) for the video monitor and microscope unit, and a minimum depth of 45 cm (18”). Additional work space to place parts and paperwork is recommended. Orient the monitor so that it does not face a bright light source, which would cause glare. A clean and dust-free environment is recommended to maintain cleanliness of the zoom mechanism and optical surfaces.  Connect the microscope unit and XGA monitor via the supplied VGA cable. Plug the microscope unit and XGA monitor into an AC power outlet, and turn on both units. A highly magnified image of an object placed on the base will appear on the monitor screen.  Set focus by raising and lowering the optical head. The object to be viewed will be in best focus at a specific height. Use the two large inner knobs on the side of the Z-column for coarse height adjustment, then use the two smaller outer knobs for fine height adjustment. Focusing is most sensitive at the highest magnification.  Set top and bottom illumination using the two small knobs above the height adjustment knobs. The best illumination is where image detail is not lost in overly dark areas and is not washed out in overly bright areas.  Set magnification by turning the knurled adjustment in front of the zoom optics. With parfocal zoom optics as used by KineMic, the image will stay in focus regardless of magnification. You may wish to set focus at highest magnification, then reduce magnification and increase the field of view.

4.2.3 Getting Started 

Unpack the two boxes which contain the microscope unit and XGA monitor.  Remove any red shipping tabs that have been installed to protect the X-Y stage for shipment.  Refer to the Getting Started of the previously described KineMic XGA Zoom Basic for system placement, electrical connections, focus control, lighting control, and zoom control.  Familiarize yourself with the X-Y stage and its digital micrometer controls. Please refer to the separate manual which is shipped with Starrett 762 Mic Head. Highlights are as follows: - The micrometer display will go blank after 30 minutes of no spindle movement. Any movement of the spindle will activate the display with no loss of position reading. - One push of the HOLD button will freeze the display and the word HOLD will appear. A second push will update the display to the current position reading. - One push of the SHIFT/SET button changes the function of this button to SET, changes the function of the ZERO/ABS button to PRESET, and changes the function of the IN/mm button to LIMITS. - One short push (less than 1 sec) of this button zeroes the display at any point, thereby providing an incremental mode. A long push (more than 1 sec) returns the display to the original absolute reading mode, and the word ABS will appear. - The PRESET button allows a starting value other than 0 to be entered. Please refer to the separate 762 Mic Head manual. - In normal mode, one push of the IN/mm/LIMITS button changes readings from inches to milli- meters and back. In the LIMITS mode, as selected by the SHIFT/SET button, minimum and maximum tolerance limits can be entered. Please refer to the separate 762 Mic Head manual. 4.2.4 Micrometer Battery Replacement If a micrometer display loses its contrast, this is a sign of the micrometer battery getting weak. Remove the old battery from each micrometer and install a new one with the + side down, as marked on the cover of the battery compartment. Use a CR2450 button cell 3V lithium battery. Batteries can be obtained from Starrett by ordering PT61120.

4.3.3 Getting Started  Unpack the boxes which contain the microscope unit, 24” touch-screen video monitor, and Shuttle PC.  Place the microscope unit and 24” touch-screen video monitor on the intended desktop or benchtop.  Attach the Shuttle PC to the back of the 24” touch-screen monitor using supplied hand-screws. Note that you will be using the Shuttle PC’s USB connectors facing down.  Remove any shipping tabs that may have been installed to protect the X-Y stage for shipment.  Connect the Shuttle PC to the 24” touch-screen monitor using a supplied USB cable and USB 3.0 ports (blue connectors).  Connect the Shuttle PC to the camera of the microscope unit to the Shuttle PC using a supplied USB cable and USB 3.0 ports (blue connectors).  Connect the Shuttle PC to the MetLogix controller using a supplied USB cable.  Verify that one of the USB ports of the Shuttle PC contains the transceiver for the wireless mouse and keyboard.  Plug the microscope unit and Shuttle PC in an AC power outlet, and turn on both units.  Launch MetLogix D1 software by clicking on the “Run D1” shortcut on the computer desktop, and a highly magnified image of an object placed on the base will appear on the computer screen. Please refer to the supplied D1 software manual on the use and capabilities of D1 software.  Set focus by raising and lowering the optical head. The object to be viewed will be in best focus at a specific height. Use the two large inner knobs on the side of the Z-column for coarse height adjustment, then use the two smaller outer knobs for fine height adjustment. Focusing is most sensitive at the highest magnification.  Set top and bottom illumination with the two small knobs above the height adjustment knobs. The best illumination is where image detail is not lost in overly dark areas and is not washed out in overly bright areas.  Set magnification by turning the knurled adjustment in front of the zoom optics to any of its six detent positions. With parfocal zoom optics as used by KineMic, the image will stay in focus regardless of magnification. You may wish to set focus at highest magnification, then reduce magnification and increase the field of view.  Use the system’s micrometers to take measurements over the 50 x 50 mm (2 x 2”) travel range of the X-Y stage.

 Use D1 software for geometrical constructs and measurements within the field of view, also for image annotation and archiving. Note that the system is calibrated for all six zoom detent positions, which can be selected via a pull-down menu. Please refer to the D1 software manual. 4.3.4 Micrometer Battery Replacement If a micrometer display loses its contrast, this is a sign of the micrometer battery getting weak. Remove the old battery from each micrometer and install a new one with the + side down, as marked on the cover of the battery compartment. Use a CR2450 3V button cell lithium battery. Batteries can be obtained from Starrett by ordering PT61120.
