VICIVISION UK visited Ondrives, which has origins in the precision gear industry going back more than 80 years. With an outstanding pedigree of knowledge, expertise and experience the company quickly identified VICIVISION UK as the obvious choice for best in class optical measurement machine.
Opting for a model from the flagship TECHNO rang, the M309 ensures reliability in measuring cylindrical parts is second to none, ticking all the boxes for achieving lean manufacturing.
Making immediate inspection and data capture available next to multiple machining centres, to more than one operator, eliminates bottlenecks and leads to a reduction in downtime.
Confidence is a critical and often-cited concept in manufacturing. As businesses strive to prosper in a crowded and highly competitive marketplace, they need certainty that their processes will consistently and efficiently deliver right-first-time parts, so that order books remain full and customers keep coming back. Technoset knows that as well as anyone. For more than 40 years, the Rugby-based company has specialised in creating highly complex, precision machined components on its multi-axis turning and milling centres, using both common and exotic metals. And thanks to VICIVISION UK, they were able to achieve this through high-precision non-contact shaft measurement machines. Offering manufacturers advanced solutions for turned components, with machines that deliver rapid measurement through dual video and light projection technology.
Interview Mauro Molinari, Plant Director R&D Manager.
“Defremm is a company from Lecco, which specializes in the production of small parts using cold formed wire. For the past 10 years, our company has been experiencing a major digitalization overhaul.”
“All the orders arrive at the quality station from our quality lab and we carry out the necessary inspections.”
Cristian Perinel: “From the onset, our staff training is based on a fundamental principle: producing quality.”
“Our inspection equipment in the field of dimensional measuring represents the best technology on today’s market. With VICIVISION optical machines we have solved two fundamental issues: controlling tool wear and inspecting outgoing parts.”
CUSTOMERS FEELING THE BENEFIT AS OPTICAL MEASUREMENT SLASHES FIRM’S DOWN TIME.
Fast, non-contact, non-destructive measurement on an all-in-one system is done at the touch of a button, with fast and efficient batch changing contributing to greater throughput.
With increased productivity comes increased capacity, allowing businesses to take on more work with the confidence that demand and quality standards can be met.
Trust Precision Engineering currently has two VICIVISION M304 Techno machines, which provide benchmark reliability in measuring cylindrical parts and enable fast and efficient batch changing.
Their design makes immediate inspection available next to multiple machining centres, to more than one operator, bringing about a reduction in down time as there is no need to leave the production environment.
Nick Street: “It’s one less thing for me to worry about and gives me complete confidence in what we’re doing.”
The production of Vi-Da Srl (Darzo, TN) includes all the parts that can be obtained from turning processing: spacers, pins, fittings, pulleys, etc…
Since its establishment in the 1960s, the company decided to focus on the production of special parts characterized by a high level of quality, based on the requests and needs of its clients.
The optical measuring machine VICIVISION MTL is a complete product that is able to execute all the measurements on cylindrical components…
This machine is the ideal instrument for those who, just like Vi-Da, produce special components.
Vilardell Purtí Group Industrial Division is a worldwide leading company in the manufacture of cutting-off parts and specialized in items of high technical complexity as well as high added value requiring a high level of precision.
The Vilardell Purtí has acquired a VICIVISION machine for production and the automated inspection of components that are manufactured primarily for the automotive sector.
MTL is an optical measuring machine for high-performance revolving parts. In addition to inspection, Vilardell Purtí also uses the VICI system to facilitate parts measurement for production quality verification and adjustment of production machines.
Gun barrels are high production parts that require precision measurements.
Traditional methods, such as hand gaging, are subject to inaccuracies and variable repeteability, depending on an inspector technique and individual skill set.
Hard gaging require set-up time and is limited to specific parts. In order to speed up production and achieve the necessary accuracies, an authomated inspection system is required.
