The advantage of ultra-fast measurement
Conventional measurement
Traditional three-dimensional measuring machines, widely used in most industries, have seen little evolution in recent years. They still have several notable drawbacks, including:
- Need for a dedicated space, usually climate-controlled
- Generation of flow between production and metrology
- Need for qualified personnel for CMMs
- Dependence on a limited number of specialized technicians for operating the measuring machines
- Slow measurement process
- Machines often overloaded
- Reduced availability of equipment
- Significant delay between production and obtaining results
Measurement with Scanflash TC G2
ESPI has developed the Scanflash TC G2 to overcome the drawbacks of conventional CMMs. Drawing on our expertise in line-side measurement, we designed a CMM specifically for the production environment, usable directly by operators, and offering exceptional speed.
- Reduction of flows between production and metrology
- Measurements 10 times faster
- Optimized machine availability
- Self-checking by operators
By addressing the historical weaknesses of three-dimensional measuring machines, ESPI significantly accelerates 3D measurement processes. This advancement opens new perspectives, particularly by increasing the volume of inspections while reducing the need for multiple machines. This proves valuable for incoming inspection, but especially in our area of expertise: production measurement.
The speed of measurements not only allows for faster series launches and more effective detection of defective parts, but also, in the machining field, enables tool correction calculations in record time. This makes production management even more precise and responsive.
Plate measurement
Measurement of a watchmaking plate in a vertical position on the Scanflash TC G2. The fixture allows for an easy transition from a horizontal position (TOP/BOTTOM) to vertical. The programming software is Metrolog X4, and the measuring sensor is a TP200 (Renishaw).
- 980 probed points
- 184 characteristics evaluated
- <5 min
Watch case measurement
Measurement of a watch bezel before setting using tactile and white light (spot Ø5um) on the Scanflash TC G1.
- 195 probed points (tactile and confocal)
- 36 characteristics evaluated
- 81s
Case measurement
Measurement of a case on the Scanflash TC G2 with tool change and TP200 sensor (Renishaw).
- 541 probed points
- 3 min 10 s
