Our non-contact Air Gage Automated Quality Inspection platform is targeted at Die Cast applications and verifies multiple bore diameters, True Position of critical hole locations, and profile and parallelism of mating surfaces to deliver 100% inspection and variable data reporting in an average 60-second cycle time.

CUSTOMER BENEFITS

  • Improved Efficiencies – In-line inspection work cell eliminates need for handheld air gages or CMM inspection and reduces inspection cycle time.  Options for at-build or future integration of robotic part load and unload.
  • Accurate Quality Outputs – Correlation work gives confidence each part is inspected to the same criteria and standards of a traditional CMM process.
  • Repeatability and Reproducibility – <10% on all features – tolerances from 0.03mm to 1.00mm.
  • Custom Designed and Built – Each automated quality inspection work cell is designed and built to your unique specifications, tolerances, and inspection needs.
  • Confidence – Our platform features Mahr® Metrology air gaging technology, Component Engineering automated inspection expertise, TruPosition® probes and 100% variable data collection and reporting. You can feel confident in delivering 100% inspected quality finished parts to your customer.
