Fir Tree Auto-Pass/Fail Inspection

Fir Tree Auto-Pass/Fail Inspection

VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator systems work directly with CAD data so that no overlay or template is needed. The systems can automatically compute and display the part’s deviation from nominal and compare it to bi-directional tolerances.

Automatic Cooling Hole Location

Automatically verify hole presence and accurately measure cooling hole locations.

The 700 Series VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator is a 5-Axis Inspection and Measurement System that is widely used by manufacturers across a broad range of industries (including aerospace and power generation) to check EDM- and LASER-drilled holes and slots.

Adapted Workholding

A customized workholding developed to complete a VisionGauge Digital Optical Comparator application

VISIONx, Inc. is capable of designing customized fixtures and workholding adapted specifically for an application. We have supplied numerous adapted precision pneumatic, vacuum, and manually-operated features with our systems to successfully solve difficult applications.

Automatic True Position Measurement of a Cylindrical Feature

True Position measurement of a cylindrical feature inspected using Polar basic dimensions

In this example, the hole’s nominal center point is defined precisely at 60 degrees clockwise on a radius of .750 inches centered about the part’s center hole. The actual center of the hole is located, and the software automatically computes the True Position of the feature and reports a Pass/Fail result based on the diametric tolerance zone defined.

True Position Measurement – Cylindrical Feature, Cartesian Coordinates

True Position measurement of a cylindrical feature inspected using Cartesian basic dimensions

In this example, the hole’s nominal center point is defined precisely 1.250 inches vertically and horizontally from the corner of the part. The actual center of the hole is located, and the software automatically computes the True Position of the feature and reports a Pass/Fail result based on the diametric tolerance zone defined.

True Position measurement of a non-circular feature

True Position of a non-circular feature inspected using Polar basic dimensions

In this example, the nominal centerline is defined precisely at 45 degrees clockwise and centered about the part’s center hole. The actual centerline of both teeth on the spline is located, and the software automatically computes the True Position of the feature and reports a Pass/Fail result based on the tolerance zone defined (equidistant and parallel to the nominal centerline).
