INTEGRATION WITH A MEASUREMENT DATABASE

Measurement requirements including tools, nominals and tolerances, and measurement results are stored in the customer’s data systems. The operator uses a custom Link application with a simple UI which automatically transfers measurement requirements and results between the database and the GapGun®.

REAL-TIME RESULTS CAPTURE & DISPLAY

GapGuns are integrated into an existing system for capturing and displaying real-time production data. The operator works with the GapGun® as normal. Behind the scenes a custom Link application relays results from the GapGun® to the customer’s data system.

INTEGRATION WITH A ROBOT

An inspection cell uses a Vectro® in a fixed position with a robot moving the parts to be measured into place. The machine is operated through a custom Link application which controls and synchronises the robot and Vectro®.

BARCODE DRIVEN MEASUREMENT INTEGRATION

The check plan is selected by scanning a barcode and measurement results are placed in a customised output file for import into the customer’s quality control system. Behind the scenes a custom Link application determines which works order is required, sends it to the GapGun®, retrieves the results and generates the output file.
