Engineering Architecture of Walter Uhl Measuring Microscopes

Walter Uhl technische Mikroskopie GmbH & Co. KG designs and manufactures high-accuracy optical-mechanical measuring microscopes and digital video systems.

The VMM100, VMM150V, VMM200, and VMM300 product range combines heavy stabilized alloy base structures, telecentric objectives with optical distortion correction, and precision XY stages mounted on cross roller guideways.

For rapid workshop inspection, ergonomic VMSergo video systems and compact SM2 and WM2 toolmaker microscopes provide quick verification of lengths, angles, and contour profiles directly adjacent to machining cells.

UHL VMHT Microhardness Testers for Vickers and Knoop Evaluation

UHL VMHT microhardness testing systems conduct precision hardness evaluation across test loads from 1 g to 2 kg under DIN EN ISO 6507 and ISO 4545 international standards.

The instruments incorporate high-grade Leica optical components and deadweight loading mechanisms that deliver repeatable long-term measurement consistency.

The motorized VMH-303 turret supports up to two indenters and four optical objectives, enabling automated switching between Vickers and Knoop testing routines without manual tool reconfiguration.

Precision Coordinate Stages KT and GT for Inspection Machinery

Walter Uhl coordinate stages are offered in open frame KT versions for transmitted light applications and enclosed GT versions for incident illumination. Backlash-free precision ball screws and digital stepping motors ensure smooth submicron positioning throughout full travel ranges.

The stages incorporate optical glass scales featuring 0.1 um resolution and standardized metric grid mounting patterns, enabling seamless mounting onto multi-axis positioning stands and specialized production machines.

Modular Optical Building Block Program B20 Through B80

The Walter Uhl modular component program is structured around standardized cubic units with dimension sizes B20, B30, B40, B60, and B80. The portfolio features optical beam splitters, optical filter modules, precision dovetail z-axis slide units, and industrial camera adapters.

This flexible modular concept allows metrology engineers to configure customized optical inspection heads and specialized microscope stations tailored to unique workpiece geometries.

Automated Spinneret Capillary Inspection Systems IMS-SpinScan

IMS-SpinScan electro-optical platforms are dedicated to automated capillary inspection of spinneret plates in synthetic yarn and nonwoven textile production. The system executes automated scanning of capillary micro-holes, detecting dimensional variations, edge burrs, and particulate contamination.

Integrated software compiles comprehensive digital hole inspection charts, providing maintenance teams with actionable data to plan ultrasonic bath cleaning cycles and avoid fiber defects.
