Scan Edge Position

This processing item detects the position of the measured object by using the change in color within the measurement region. By dividing the measurement region, the following effects can be expected in comparison with ordinary edge position measurement.
  • Detailed information, such as the closest point or furthest point from the measurement start point, can be calculated.
  • The inclination or degree of unevenness of the measured object can be calculated.

Used for the following case

  • When calculating multiple edge positions of the measured object from statistical data
