The Datron IVS is housed in a metal chassis. Is mounted to the Z-axis of machining centers. Said to identify fiducials within a 20 mm area; feeds offset data into Windows-based software. Can automatically adjust for skew or image-to-edge variance. In instances where a fiducial or crop mark is not found, the program pauses and gives the option of aborting or retrying. Pins ensure the part is on the fixture properly. Reportedly reduces and compensates for improper setups. Features are said to include a camera with light ring, images and cross-hairs on display, live pictures, teaching of new fiducials, capturing and storing of pictures and fiducials, image calibration, adjustment of brightness, gain and contrast (manual and automatic), a 20 x 16 mm display window, operating distance approx. 100 mm, resolution 1280 x 1024 pixels and accuracy +/-0.02 mm.
