Runner band machining

Cost saving

  • Get the whole machine right - good Condition Monitoring practice.
  • Better assessment - better maintenance/overhaul decisions.
  • Tighter Tolerances - longer periods between maintenance.
  • Tighter Tolerances - production efficiency gains. Top

Accurate 3D information

  • The greatest advantage of 3D Coordinate Measurement Systems over traditional mechanical methods and optical tooling techniques of traditional surveying is the flexibility gained by being able to measure and then analyse a complete machine and/or component in 3D.
  • Geometric forms such as cylinders, circles, planes and lines are applied to the data to determine sizes, shapes and alignment. This means that eccentricities, ovality, bad clearances and runout can be determined and predicted from the data. Top

No physical references

  • It is not necessary to physically reproduce any geometric form such as a surface or centre line with a piano wire or by placing an instrument on that feature. Top

Significantly higher accuracy and reliability

  • Significantly higher accuracies are achievable with reliability and the ability to measure and obtain results faster. With the laser tracker 3D point accuracy of 0.005mm/m is achieved. Results are provided correct at the standard reference temperature of 20°C or at any other required value. Top

Fast and flexible measurement

  • Mobile instrumentation enables on site measurement of components. When appropriate, ADS can readily complement its modern optical technology with traditional mechanical methods and work closely with other contractors where necessary. Top
