Optical Gaging Products (OGP®), a world-leading manufacturer of optical and precision multisensor metrology systems for industrial quality control, announces the addition of the new TurnCheck Series-14 to its family of TurnCheck Shaft Measurement Systems – increasing the range of TurnCheck systems to handle parts up to 140 mm in diameter and 1000 mm in length.
Automatic Measurement
TurnCheck™ systems offer a fast, easy way to measure shaft, cylinders, and other turned, ground or extruded parts. Designed for placement on the shop floor with machine tools, TurnCheck systems provide improved process control through immediate feedback. Operators can place parts for automatic measurement in seconds!
With a 135 mm wide field of view and a vertical range of 1000 mm, TurnCheck Series-14 shaft measurement systems can accommodate parts up to 175 mm diameter by 1000 mm in length. The system will scan and measure all points and features automatically. It handles the full range of dimensions and tolerances found on shafts and cylinders.
Distortion-free Images
The large field of view optical system produces distortion-free images that are truly telecentric. The LED illumination is carefully aligned to the optics to provide highly collimated light for nearly perfect back lighting of the work piece. This produces a crisp and clear image of the entire part.
TurnCheck software allows easy measurement of diameters, lengths, distances, angles, radii, form, position, cylindricity, and runout. Output point data is available for external analysis.
Rugged and Reliable
TurnCheck Series-14 machines are precision optical measuring systems built with reliable and rugged materials for thermally stable accurate measurements on the shop floor. The Series-14 floor model has a granite base support for the rotary which provides a rigid base and isolates vibration. The moveable tailstock assembly allows easy one hand operation for precision mechanical alignment of the workpiece. Additional optional workholding kits that fit into the spindle accommodate parts that will not hold between centers. A built-in light curtain safeguards the operators during automatic measurement.
