Keyence VK-X150 3D Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope Complete System

The Keyence VK-X150 is a 3D laser scanning confocal microscope designed for non-contact surface imaging, profile measurement, surface roughness analysis, height measurement, and three-dimensional reconstruction.

This complete system includes the VK-X150 measuring head, VK-X150K main controller, VK-S1000K electric stage controller, motorized intelligent XY stage, four objectives, and a Dell Precision 3450 control workstation with the Keyence VK-X software environment installed and operating with the instrument.

A complete end-to-end laser-confocal measurement was successfully performed. Testing demonstrated optical color imaging, laser imaging, automatic Z-range detection, Z-axis scanning, 3D reconstruction, quantitative profile measurement, motorized stage control, and data capture.

Condition

Pre-owned and cosmetically clean, with minor marks and signs consistent with previous laboratory or industrial use. No significant exterior damage was observed.

The system was assembled and tested through a complete laser-confocal 3D measurement. Optical imaging, color camera operation, laser imaging, automatic Z-range detection, Z scanning, 3D reconstruction, quantitative measurement, motorized XY stage control, and data capture were successfully demonstrated.

During initial startup, the motorized XY stage was positioned against a travel limit and stalled during the origin-return routine. After the stage was moved to a mid-travel position, it moved freely in all directions, and the position encoders tracked movement correctly.

The XY stage produces an audible buzzing or mechanical operating sound during movement. The stage moved and tracked accurately during testing, but the source of the sound was not further characterized. The buyer should reconfirm the origin-return procedure from a mid-travel position after installation.

The included software was used successfully with this instrument during testing. Future software-license transfer, updates, compatibility, and manufacturer support are not guaranteed.

The system is not represented as newly calibrated or manufacturer-certified. Installation, leveling, application-specific qualification, and verification of measurement performance are the buyer’s responsibility.
