Your Control Challenge

Compliance with the dimensional specifications of mechanical parts is an important issue for their manufacturers. Dimensional inspection in industry relies on a variety of methods, each with its own advantages and limitations. By choosing the appropriate method based on part specifications and application requirements, manufacturers can guarantee the quality and conformity of their products, while optimizing their operational efficiency.

The dimensions of many manufactured parts must be carefully checked to ensure compliance with the required specifications and tolerances.

Complying with outer diameter specifications for parts such as tubes, shafts or axles is a challenge for their manufacturers. Pneumatic, tactile or optical methods can address these needs.

Accurately checking the dimensional tolerances of bores ensures their proper fit (clearance and interference) when assembled with a mechanical shaft.

Appearance inspection, at the heart of manufacturing quality, involves the detailed examination of manufactured products to detect any surface defects that might compromise their quality or aesthetics. Manufacturers who succeed in meeting these challenges can benefit from improved product quality, greater customer satisfaction and market competitiveness. In this crucial area, machine vision technology plays an essential role, enabling fast, accurate and detailed inspection of manufactured objects, as well as full traceability of inspection results.

Ensuring compliance with the geometric specifications of mechanical parts is a major challenge for manufacturers. Checking these specifications relies on a variety of metrology methods. By selecting the method best suited to the specific characteristics of the part and the requirements of the application, manufacturers can ensure the quality and conformity of their products, while improving their operational efficiency.

Thickness measurement provides information on product quality and performance, as well as on the associated manufacturing processes.

Non-destructive inspection, especially by industrial radiography, is applied to the search for internal defects in assembled products.

Controlling materials, and more specifically their composition or structure, is essential to guarantee the conformity of certain products.

To get a complete picture of the quality of a complex part, multiple checks may be necessary, and various approaches may be considered.
