OGP has on several occasions left a smart scope here for evaluation. The OGP system, I must confess, has some features and advanced programming options you may find helpful for your product. The profile trace, for example, will scan around the perimeter of the part, even though it is outside the current field of view – Very cool. It also allows the programmer to embed logic in the code, creating a limitless amount of flexibility and power to the applications.
MicroVu, on the other hand, is easy to use, accurate, and cheap. Our products are machine parts, and some of the programs are fairly involved. My opinion is that the Vertex should tear up a 2d object such as circuit boards, gaskets, etc. no trouble at all.
At the end of the day, we have 6 Vertex 220’s, another 3 abroad, 1 Vertex 440, 3 equipped with touch probes; and 0 OGP systems.
