The largest aerospace fastener manufacturer in Pennsylvania recently integrated VisionLab, a 3-D measuring system, manufactured by General Inspection, LLC, into their manufacturing process to streamline first part inspections. VisionLab measures their full range of threaded fasteners reducing inspection times, reducing costs, and improving quality.
Multiple manual gauges, such as micrometers, calipers, and optical comparators, which are inherently subject to human error are replaced by this easy to use, 3-D gauging system. In just a few seconds, all dimensions; including lengths, diameters, radii, angles, and GD&T features are measured and displayed with a pass or fail indication. This saves time and money plus drastically improves quality by accurately measuring parts within two microns. Part feature tolerances are assigned with the appropriate part number and stored in memory for quick recall.
VisionLab 3D gauging system advantages include:
* Complete inspection in less than 5 seconds
* Up to 360 profile measurements
* Enhanced GD&T feature measurements
* Simplified 3D GUI
* Built-in self-calibration
* No software licensing fee
