IA32 - Image Analysis System

The Leco IA32 is a versatile image analysis system that can accommodate users with varying levels of expertise. From the daily operator to the advanced metallographer, the IA32 is ideally suited for a wide variety of image analysis needs.

The IA32 was designed with simple operation in mind. No menus to select, no key sequences to remember, no files to move. An operator simply presses three buttons: one to begin the analysis, a second to run the analysis, and a third to print the analysis results in a pre-programmed format.

After an analysis is finished, the results can be saved or exported to another source. The system's application wizard guides a supervisor-level user in creating new, easy-to-use applications for the operator. The application wizard gives step-by-step instructions to set up an application in just a matter of seconds.

With the IA32 system's macro development screen, advanced users have the opportunity to develop their own applications from scratch or modify an existing application using the wizard program. Any level user can create their own customized reports with the IA32's Report Designer.

No matter what your image analysis application, Leco's IA32 is the system for you. For convenience, efficiency, and repeatability in production, research, or quality control, just imagine what you could do with this software package.
