Benchtop for Drill Measurement
August 1, 2016
At IMTS 2016, RAM will exhibit a QVI SprintMVP benchtop system showing a way to measure drills with the use of a custom fixture. This fixture is designed for measuring drills - speeding up the inspection process while reducing operator influence on the measurements.
For this application, the operator loads the drill into the chuck and then places it in the pre-setter to position the drill for automatic measurement. The operator then removes the pre-loaded chuck and drill from the pre-setter and mounts it in the motorized rotary fixture on the SprintMVP stage. From here, the operator runs the program utilizing QVI's Measure-X metrology software.
The automatic measurement routine aligns the drill. All geometries, including diameters and drill angles are measured without operator intervention with 15 measurements completed in 33 seconds.
"QVI SprintMVP automatic measurement system with its custom fixture allows for fast, accurate measurement of drills and end mills," said a company spokespserson. "This system has proven effective in a large scale manufacturing environment and is also suited for re-sharpening operations."
