The Opticline noncontact CNC shaft gaging system for measuring form, dimensional, and positional tolerances of shaft-type parts in submicron detail, instantly records results. Built by Detroit Precision Hommel, the optical measuring machines are available in a range of capacities and are ideal for medical applications of complex parts like hip joints.
The fully flexible shaft gaging systems accommodates shaft-type part sizes from 0.2 mm to 480 mm diameter, 1 mm to 2500 mm long with measuring accuracies to ± 1 micron.
Highly accurate telecentric camera measuring systems and specially adapted calibration processes permit measurements of even the most complicated workpiece geometry, allowing users to effectively measure cylindrical and eccentric shafts. Contour, diameters, length, roundness, concentricity, cones, angles, flatness, parallelism, eccentricity, stroke, threads, and more, can be recorded during a single pass of the optical measuring head. Measurements are easily completed within a production cycle for 100% quality control. Manufacturing checks, automatic tool correction, dimensional measurement, initial sample measurement, and machine setup are typical applications for this family of versatile gages.
The family of gages is driven by Windows-based measuring software. A measuring program can be assembled from function macros, so repeated measuring tasks can be accomplished very quickly. Once the workpiece has been scanned, a part profile is displayed on the large LCD, at which point, the part may be analyzed. In addition, the operator can output the documentation and data can be stored and graphed for later reference, or transferred (networked).
