CUSTOMERS FEELING THE BENEFIT AS OPTICAL MEASUREMENT SLASHES FIRM\u2019S DOWN TIME.<\/strong><\/h4>\n
A precision sub-contract engineering<\/strong> firm established almost 70 years ago,\u00a0David Paull (CNC) Engineering<\/a><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0has built a strong reputation for delivering quality products<\/strong>.<\/span><\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The often-critical components<\/strong> it machines are used across the marine<\/strong>, aerospace<\/strong>, defence<\/strong>, oil and gas<\/strong>, pneumatics<\/strong>, medical<\/strong>, leisure<\/strong> and tourism sectors<\/strong>, meaning form, function and safety cannot be compromised.<\/p>\n

Operating on both a large and small scale, the Cornwall-based company prides itself on its fundamental philosophy of offering a tailored, state-of-the-art engineering service to clients, where accuracy is paramount<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While the business\u2019s values have remained a constant guiding light, it retains strong ambitions for further development and growth.<\/p>\n

One key area identified by DP Engineering as prime for improvement was the quality control side of its operations. Due to the complexity of its products<\/strong> and the materials required to make them<\/strong>, the company has in the past been heavily reliant on manual inspection methods.<\/p>\n

The time-consuming nature of this traditional approach was proving a major concern for a business with aspirations to increase its capacity and productivity. In addition, the subjective nature of manual measurement brings<\/strong> with it the risk of inaccuracy<\/strong>, as the process is neither repeatable nor quick enough to be applied to anything other than batch sampling.<\/p>\n

To help meet its objectives, DP<\/a> turned to VICIVISION UK<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 the leading supplier of optical, non-contact, turned-part measurement machines and quality control systems across the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n

It installed the TECHNO<\/strong>\u00a0M309<\/a><\/u><\/strong>, a shop-floor ready system<\/strong> with wide measuring fields, impressive load capacities<\/strong>, high-resolution<\/strong> capabilities and intuitive software<\/strong>, designed to measure cylindrical components quickly<\/strong> and with absolute precision<\/strong> in the heart of the production environment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”28264″ img_size=”large”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]DP Engineering\u2019s Philip Anthony<\/em><\/strong> said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seeing the benefits<\/strong> on components which have a lot of external features. Whereas we would use to have to check on different bits of kit \u2013 such as external lengths on a shadowgraph, contracer and height gauges \u2013 now it can all be done on one machine<\/strong>.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are features you can measure on the VICIVISION<\/strong> that you can\u2019t measure on a co-ordinate measuring machine<\/strong> (CMM), so we use them in parallel<\/strong>.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s aided our production<\/strong>. We make our money from cutting metal, so any down time is a no-go, and the VICIVISION machine has certainly reduced our down time<\/strong>.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Anthony added: \u201cThe biggest thing for us is the in-process inspection<\/strong> \u2013 where you could do a sample size before, now you\u2019re not limited as to how long things take. There\u2019s no issue with running a whole batch, let alone sample parts.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt enables you to complete things a lot quicker<\/strong> and we\u2019re able to offer a more competitive price<\/strong> as a consequence.<\/em>\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]VICIVISION<\/strong> makes immediate inspection available next to multiple machining centres<\/strong>, to more than one operator, eliminating bottlenecks<\/strong> and leading to a reduction in idle time<\/strong> as there is no need to leave the production environment.<\/p>\n

Fast<\/strong>, non-contact, non-destructive measurement<\/strong> on an all-in-one system<\/strong> is done at the touch of a button, with fast and efficient batch changing<\/strong> contributing to greater throughput.<\/p>\n

The efficient<\/strong>, accurate<\/strong> and reliable measuring processes<\/strong> made possible by VICIVISION systems give manufacturers total peace of mind<\/strong> when it comes to the repeatable supply of quality products.<\/p>\n

With increased productivity<\/strong> comes increased capacity, allowing businesses to take on more work with the confidence that demand and quality standards can be met.[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/QPGAhMFzjhM?si=F-ddRkx5Ejwg80lP”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Article of the official Vici & C. dealer: VICIVISION UK<\/a><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
