Video Overview
software for automated scan control
ScanX handles communications between the Keyence VHX and the larger travel stage’s motion controller. It is also loaded with many useful features to further automate image acquisition routines .
In Partnership With
Enabling Features
Motion Controller Support
Native support for the the external motion controller enables larger and more industrial positioning stages to be used.
Scan Setup Tools
Program modules, patterns, or load in a table of image positions to direct the stages where to move. Stitching and autofocus are supported.
User Tools
Define image file nomenclature, file save location, and use predefined reference marks to align each part before executing an automated scan.
Customization
Features can be added to the software and hardware on an a project basis. Consult us for more information.

Demsonstration of primary scanX functions
ScanX is a software user interface that enables the VHX microscope to be used with larger travel positioning systems.
Stage positioning and jogging
Use the jog pad to move the motorized stages. XY comes standard. VT (vertical and tilt) come optional.
Position lists and teaching routines
Use tables to predefine imaging areas to be captured. Reuse the position list for repetitive measurements.
Large area stitching
Specify an image area and overlap % and ScanX will create a stitched image.
More power for more application
ScanX will run on the VHX controller PC, but for memory intensive applications it can be run on its own dedicated PC and monitor. This allows for larger image file sizes to be recorded, and faster. This is ideal for small batch production and intensive R&D applications.
Environmental Considerations
Do you need additional isolation from your environment? We have lots of experience in determining what hardware you need depending on the facility that the equipment will be located in.
One of the biggest factors that will dictate machine performance is floor vibration. This video highlights what happens to the performance when the floor is suboptimal.
