General Inspection's VisionLab 3D measuring system
A Pennsylvania-based aerospace fastener manufacturer has opted to integrate General Inspection’s VisionLab system into its manufacturing process. The 3D measuring system aims to streamline the manufacturing process while also reducing inspection times and costs.
Key information:
- General Inspection has announced that a Pennsylvania-based aerospace fastener manufacturer has chosen to integrate its 3D measuring system into the company's manufacturing process.
- The VisionLab system claims to complete inspections in less than five seconds, while also reducing costs and improving the product's final quality.
- Additionally, General Inspection claims that its system helps the user avoid using multiple manual gauges like micrometres and callipers, which often produce human errors.
The VisionLab 3D gauging system claims to complete inspections within five seconds, does not require a licensing fee, features enhanced GD&T measurements and simplified 3D GUI, and has built-in self-calibration. The system can also complete up to 360 profile measurements.
General Inspection says that its 3D measuring system limits human error, as it replaces multiple manual gauges including callipers, micrometers, and optical comparators. Additionally, VisionLab aims to measure all dimensions including angles, diameters, GD&T features, lengths, and radii. Following the measurement process, the system will then provide pass or fail indications.
VisionLab aims to provide accurate measurements of parts to within two microns, with part feature tolerances assigned with the appropriate part number, which is then stored in the memory for quick recall. By using the VisionLab system, employees will have more time to concentrate on production tasks, rather than focusing on the manual measuring of parts.
