Gaskets and O-rings are components manufactured through molding and forming processes using elastomeric materials. They are designed to ensure reliable sealing of fluids and gases across a wide range of industrial applications.
Characterized by specific profiles, varying dimensions, and tight tolerances, these components require accurate dimensional inspection to ensure proper functionality and compliance with design specifications. Measuring O-rings and inspecting gaskets demand systems capable of delivering high accuracy, repeatability, and speed, even when working with deformable materials.
Thanks to non-contact optical measurement technology, reliable dimensional inspection can be performed without affecting the geometry of the part.
This improves manufacturing efficiency, enhances quality control, and reduces the risk of non-conforming products.
