KEYENCE VW 9000

vw9000
The VW Series High-Speed Microscope is ideal for users that require fast camera imaging but also need the functionality of a microscope for other inspection applications. This camera and microscope system is capable of both macro and micro-level observation, has a built-in digital display, and can record videos at up to 230,000 fps. Unlike conventional high-speed cameras, the VW Series requires very little training and can be set-up and operational in a matter of minutes – perfect for production or R&D use

Automatically Determine Changes in Motion. Scene Marking function. And many more...

vw 9000
The VW-9000 greatly shortens the amount of time spent on setting and saving recordings by being able to recognize changes in motion automatically.

A detailed graph allows users to visually track and quantify the amount of movement (amount of change) of a target.

Capture and preview a video using the double memory feature, while only displaying scenes that show large changes in motion.

Automatically selects scenes with large changes in motion.

By analyzing the motion graph, this function recognizes changes in behavior and automatically leaves a marker associated with each time interval. Scene markers can also be added manually as needed. These markers allow users to display only the scenes that they want to view and skip other parts of the video.

Triggers dictate how information will be recorded once an event of interest has been observed. The VW-9000 supports both internal and external triggers to provide the most user-friendly methods of recording video.

Record video for up to 13 hours at a maximum speed of 1,800 fps. Because it's also possible to set end triggers, you can stop recording after an error has occurred and check behavior retroactively.

Internal data logger

Syncs video with data. The controller has a built-in single channel data logger. Videos and analog waveforms from vibration gauges, displacement gauges, and other devices can be displayed in sync.


The VW-9000 Series features built-in lighting and an LCD monitor - both items that are separate in conventional products. The system has been reduced to the bare essentials, eliminating the need to make large investments in equipment. With the VW-9000’s space-saving design, you’ll be surprised at just how easy it is to achieve high-speed recording even in on-site applications and laboratories where space is limited.
