qmtprotime
For measuring daytime steps
Range of equipment for measuring the daily rate of finished watches and movements
The measurement is based on capturing two time-separated images of the product, which are temporally referenced using a precision time base. The time indicated by the watch or movement in its two states is determined by the position of the hands, as defined in the high-resolution image. The rate can then be calculated using the difference between the watch's state difference and the time difference defined by the time base.
The time calculation algorithm takes into account discontinuous displays (such as a jump in the hands) and display desynchronization. The laboratory mode allows for high-speed, continuous measurement of the position of the indicators to enable advanced analysis of the movement's operation.
- The average rate measured perfectly matches the customer's perception, on finished watches and movements of all types
- A recipe creation tool for measurements without programming, featuring Artificial Intelligence integration and an intuitive user interface.
- More robust and accurate measurement algorithms
- Modular software allowing the creation of customized functions so that the product can easily adapt to specific customer needs, particularly for data management.
- Multi-device measurement: shared and versioned measurement programs
Customizable solutions to perfectly meet your needs
The latest generation of daytime walking measurement
Next-generation QMT ProTime technologies
The new generation of qmtprotime incorporates a new needle detection algorithm to manage overlaps and crossings, while improving detection accuracy and measurement speed.
The versatility of the QMT ProTime meets the precision testing needs of your watch movements or heads in the laboratory and in production. It can be used on a watchmaker's bench or integrated into an automated cell.
High-resolution color camera (5MP) with a fast acquisition speed. The camera is electrically synchronized with the time base and lighting to ensure accurate time-stamping of images.
The QMT ProTime lighting minimizes reflections on watch crystals and eliminates shadows. Simplified controls allow for quick adjustment of contrast and brightness. Thanks to its specific geometry, the lighting adapts to any crystal shape.
New, more robust and precise vision tools improve time reading rates. They allow you to adapt your measurement inspections to a wide variety of movements or finished watch heads.
Using a standard PC with Windows 10 or 11 64-bit, a client PC can be used.
