Times have definitely changed in the post-COVID hiring environment. Manufacturers, from machine shops to metrology labs, are reporting how difficult it is to hire, train, and most importantly retain good engineers and technicians.
If you find yourself in this situation, it may be time to adjust your quality assurance strategy. Introducing automated machines to the workplace allows users with a variety of skill levels the ability to operate sophisticated equipment without extensive training.
Here are four OGP systems that may help you complete your work on time – even during a difficult hiring season.
c-vision systems offer the technology of a video measuring system, in the easy and familiar form factor of an optical comparator.
Operators familiar with standard comparators can feel at home with the controls and user experience of a c-vision. Parts are placed on the stage and quick measurements can be made using digital overlays. These same operators can also painlessly run more detailed pre-programmed routines written by a more experienced programmer, with just a click of the mouse.
c-vision systems bring the best of both worlds directly to the shop floor. Click here to learn more about c-vision systems and to watch a demo video.
SNAP systems are large field of view video measuring systems that offer instant 2D measurement from the shop floor to the lab.
Like c-vision systems, operators can make instant “walk up and measure” measurements by placing a part or a handful of parts on the stage and pressing the GO button.
SNAP systems can be pre-programmed to immediately identify parts, allowing operators of all skill levels the ability to quickly gain the confidence that their parts are within specifications.
SNAP systems come in several sizes to accommodate a variety of different part sizes. Click here to learn more about SNAP systems and to watch a demo video.
TurnCheck Shaft Measuring Systems are precision optical systems designed to measure shafts and other cylindrical parts, quickly and easily on the shop floor.
TurnCheck systems were designed with operators in mind. One-handed operation of the tailstock assembly allows for heavier shafts to be safely loaded. The heavy granite base helps isolate vibration in shop floor environments.
TurnCheck software is designed to be fast and easy – a single scan finds and measures all part features and displays them on the screen.
Parts can be pre-programmed allowing any user to acquire measurements with just a click of the mouse. Click here to learn more about TurnCheck systems and to watch a demo video.
ShapeGrabber Automatic 3D Laser Scanning Systems are the ideal solution if the parts you produce are time-consuming, costly, or difficult to measure.
Molded plastics, castings, stampings, and machined parts often require highly skilled CMM programming and take a great deal of time to measure.
ShapeGrabber systems allow users to acquire detailed surface characterizations of complex parts quickly and accurately – without the need to write special code.
The laser scanheads collect accurate, high density point data and the system provides reports of results – including GD&T – in moments. Click here to learn more ShapeGrabber systems and to watch a demo video.
