| Rotary Precision Instruments "GEM" machine has been developed to acquire and analyse geometric data from component parts measuring Roundness. Run-out. Flatness and Parallelism The system measures up to 4 features simultaneously including bores, outside diameters and features interrupted by slots and boltholes. Each channel takes 3,600 data points per revolution with high sampling rates enabling the use of sophisticated filters and digital signal processing techniques. The measurement data is ccllected via a high accuracy rotary axis and bidirectional gauge heads supported on a rigid column unit. The system has been specif cally designed for use in a shop floor environment so enabling accurate and meaningful data to be collected from a high ambient noise, high vibration background. Features include centring and levelling of component parts, floating datum's with gauge head alignment achieved via laser guides. Typical components 2,000mm in diameter and 2,000mm in height weighing up to 11,500kg can be accommodated and supported for measurement purposes via bespoke fixturing. Machines for larger application are available on request. |
