9 SIT: Inspection tool for measuring geometrical features of bores
Accurate dimensional measurements are of key importance in high-precision mechanical components.
This quality control system exploits confocal chromatic technology to measure geometrical features of turned parts (diameters, length, holes/grooves extensions/relative locations). By exploiting this non-contact technology, the system can measure on parts of different size and material without the need to change the testing probe, as it happens for standard contact measuring device.
Being temperature-compensate, the system can be installed and used in-line. This, as well as the probe-to-target auto-centering strategies, makes it possible to achieve a measurement accuracy less than 0.01 mm.
