The problems encountered with screw threads are legendary. The most common one occurs when the gages do what they are supposed to do: reject bad parts or accept good parts.
Laser line scanning is ideal for noncontact measurement applications, including inspection, cloud-to-computer-aided design (CAD) comparison, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering and 3-D modeling. Laser line probes use a triangulation process to find the position of objects in space.
Wayne Combustion Systems wanted to streamline its CMM part measurement process. After having examined the challenges, modular fixturing from R&R Sales and Engineering was chosen as the solution.
One of the busiest pieces of inspection equipment at Pointe Precision Inc. is a Starrett HD400 optical comparator. Optical measurement is a noncontact technique that graphically displays and measures parts with dimensions and shapes that would be difficult to measure with regular gages.
PAS Technology’s CMM solution is an automated CMM programming tool that can save time, reduce cost and expedite delivery time, Golan says. Going from a computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) model to complete CMM program takes minutes-rather than hours or days-and eliminates CMM department bottlenecks.
