Checks & Measurement

The Measuring Department uses a unique CNC measuring machine, WERTH Video-Check-IP 400x400, with multi-sensor technology which means that it can perform four (4) different measuring techniques.

The laser probe is particularly useful for rapid scanning of lines, circles and surfaces. A line can be assessed as a 2D curve against, for example, nominal CAD data. The laser point can now be reflected by surfaces with a tilt of up to 80 degrees.

The sensory probe is mainly used whenever optics and lasers cannot "see" elements which are to be measured.

A measuring program which combines sensory probe and non-contact sensor technology offers an optimum solution to complex measuring assignments which require the greatest possible precision.

As well as measurements using separate sensor techniques, the machine can perform combination readings using different sensors simultaneously in a single CNC program.

A great advantage of multi-sensor technology is that it can handle most measuring assignments without the result being affected by the object's accessibility, material, surface structure or colour.

In production measurement, all measuring data is registered in our SPS data system for further analysis and follow-up of the reliability and capability of the processes.

An automated control program has been introduced to ensure that a consistently high production quality is achieved. This means that delivery labels can only be printed once a result has been approved through SPS checks.

The fibre probe is a unique, patented probe technology. It is used mainly for measuring small conical, cylindrical holes, radii etc. from 40-50 µ upwards.

Non-contact measuring is carried out using optics and 3D lasers, while a fibre probe or standard probe system is used for sensory measuring. The technology used in the measuring machine can measure cavities with a probe size down to 0.025 mm. The smallest fibre probe ball produced has a diameter of 25 µ.

The optical Werth Video-Check measuring system uses unique zoom technology which permits measuring the Z direction up to 200 mm without recalibration. The machine also features two integrated lighting methods and filtering functions for all three directions, X, Y and Z.

Photographic images can also be saved as documentation and added to the other measuring protocols.

It is, consequently, impossible to deliver non-approved goods to a client, since deliveries can only take place once all SPS checks have achieved an approved result.

This tensiometer Hounsfield Model K1KS tensile test equipment is used for materials and work part analysis. It includes Q-MAT Professional PC-based software for the analysis and written documentation of test results.

We carry out various tensile, pressure and load tests on a number of different materials, such as plastics, metal, rubber, paper, textiles, wood, ceramics and springs. Individual test programs are drawn up for every analysis assignment, and are either reused for every separate test, or whenever the same test is to be repeated several times to ensure an identical test method every time, providing the opportunity to carry out a statistical analysis of the test results.
