YOUR ACCESSIBLE SOLUTION FOR PNEUMATIC DIMENSION CONTROL ACCURATE AND PRECISE DIAMETER MEASUREMENTS down to micrometers or better, and low R&R FAST AND EASY CONTROL quick testing (within seconds), independent of the operator’s skills MATERIAL-FRIENDLY CONTROL with contactless pneumatic sensors that preserve the material’s integrity MADE-TO-MEASURE ANYWHERE Installation possible in any work environment METRIX ONE FOR SMALL APERTURES Measurable diameter Measurement uncertainty METRIX ONE FOR LARGER DIMENSIONS Measurable dimension Measurement uncertainty Controllable tolerance interval GENERAL...

DIMENSIONAL CONTROL A specific measuring tool is applied to the part to be checked (ring, gun, plug). The controlled dimension is represented by a height of liquid, read on a graduated ruler. This height is compared to the height read for a part of ideal size (standard), and the part is accepted if the height difference is within the defined tolerance interval.

FOR PRECISE OUTER DIAMETER CONTROL ACCURATE AND PRECISE DIAMETER MEASUREMENTS down to micrometers or better, and low R&R FAST AND EASY CONTROL quick testing (within seconds), independent of the operator’s skills ULTRA HIGH PRECISION with contact (tactile) transducers, also allowing for more measurement points over a smaller area PRESERVATION OF THE CONTROLLED PART’S INTEGRITY with contactless pneumatic sensors, that can also be used for online continuous control UNATTENDED OPERATION with automation, allowing operators to focus on valueadded work CONTACTLESS Technology Measurement...

OUTER DIAMETER CONTROL Various contact or contactless measurement transducers are used to fit your control requirements in terms of accuracy, density of measurement points, or parts robustness. Contactless transducers allow for online control, on continuously moving parts. Positionning the controlled part is achieved by automated systems, making the use and measurements of METRIX OD user-independent. Software provides information for quick decisions (good /bad / unclear) and more detailed analysis (e.g. parts profiles, statistics).

FOR THE MOST DEMANDING INNER DIAMETER CONTROL ACCURATE AND PRECISE DIAMETER MEASUREMENTS Down to micrometers or better, and low R&R VERSATILE MEASUREMENT Adaptable to parts of varying diameters, shapes, and control depths. One base unit can be connected to various sensors for multiple measurements. FAST AND EASY CONTROL Quick testing (within seconds), independent of the operator’s skills MADE-TO-MEASURE ANYWHERE Installation possible in any work environment METRIX ID FOR SMALL APERTURES Measurable diameter Measurement uncertainty METRIX ID FOR LARGER BORES OR TUBES Measurable diameter...

INNER DIAMETER CONTROL The base unit provides compressed air to the sensor and compares the measurement with the calibrated value. Sensors for small apertures (like spray nozzles) are directly connected on the part to be controlled. Sensors for larger bores or tubes are inserted in the controlled part, at a set depth. Their diameters and lengths depend on the controlled part. They bear two or more control points to check more than one diameter and detect defects like conicity or ovalization. Software provides simple information (good / bad / unclear) and statistical analysis.

YOUR VERSATILE SHAPE CONTROL SOLUTION VERSATILE SHAPE AND GEOMETRY MEASUREMENTS • Of straightness, perpendicularity, parallelism, roundness, coaxiality, concentricity, depths of grooves, etc • Of various types of objects : the number and positions of sensors are tailored to the part’s design ACCURATE AND PRECISE CONTROL Based on contact (tactile) transducers, contactless pneumatic transducers or a combination of both OPTION FOR UNATTENDED OPERATION With automation, allowing operators to focus on value-added work CONTACTLESS Technology Measurement uncertainty CONTACT Technology Tactile...

SHAPE DEFECT CONTROL Contact transducers provide ultra high precision measurements. They allow for many measuring points within a small area. Unlike optical methods, they can measure parts regardless of their color or surface condition. The controlled part is placed on a rotating stand. If sensors detect a fluctuation of it’s diameter, the part is deformed. The loading, measurement, unloading, marking and sorting of the part can be automated. Contactless pneumatic transducers can be used to control outside shapes (with air rings) or inside shapes (with air plugs). The air plug shown here...

METRIX FILM FOR CONTACTLESS THICKNESS CONTROL ACCURATE AND PRECISE THICKNESS MEASUREMENTS Down to micrometers or better, and low R&R VERSATILE MEASUREMENT Applicable to various shapes (e.g. plates, films, pads, tablets, pellets) and independent of the material’s color or brightness MATERIAL-FRIENDLY CONTROL With contactless pneumatic sensors that preserve the material’s integrity ONLINE MEASUREMENT OPTION For automated measurement of moving parts or films PERFORMANCE Measurement uncertainty Thickness variation range GENERAL Data acquisition rate 50 milliseconds (e.g. a measurement every 2...
