Manual inspection of components with hand gauges is a quite common practice in production and the shop floor environment
In most cases the inspection is made with traditional instruments with no interconnection to any computer environment
In some cases, where the hand tools are newer, the interconnection is provided by dedicated SDK from the manufacturer
Metrology Gate is the solution to bring Industry 4.0 in both the cases
Hand Gauges
Traditional Instruments
Interconnected Instruments
Examples of Fixture Gauge Inspection
Benefits
… the easy way … good for interconnected instruments and fixture gauges
Manual gauges have USB, Bluetooth serial and any other output source that can be interfaced with an SDK
In this case Metrology Gate will be connected to the instruments by a dedicated client that interfaces the instruments
Once the nominal template has been defined and selected in the client, the inspection results will go to Metrology Gate automatically without any user interaction.
… let the existing technology go 4.0 !
… the manual way … good for manual instruments
Manual gauges are traditional tools, where the only possible way to read and report is the User that, traditionally, reports the measured value manually in a report
In this case Metrology Gate will be connected to the instruments by a dedicated client that shows a table where the User can type the measured values
Once the nominal template has been defined and selected in the client, the inspection results will go to Metrology Gate.
… The pen … gone 4.0 !
Features
...in the process...
One of the major challenges in production inspection on manual gauges is the training of the Users and the reliability of the measuring process
Being manuals instruments there is no guarantee that the User knows exactly the procedural steps to measure and, quite often, any missing information can lead to a wrong measurement
… we are afterall human …
...Metrology Gate can help...
Metrology Gate client can help on this matter thanks to its RollOver tasks presenter: a customizable package that guides the User along the measuring process by showing clearly each step to follow to get to the final measurement
… one step after another …
...How does it work...
The outcome of RollOver is a “Power Point” style slide show that guides the User step by step along the measurement process
A seriesof templates is available, the programmer selects one and fills the template with some of the following fields:
Title of the task
Description of the task
Connection to a specific device
Measured result coming from the device
Open space to insert measurement when the manual gauge has to connection to PC
Media
… present your task …
Once the procedure is prepared the RollOver presentation will be placed on the measuring station and from that moment on the measuring task will be clearly detailed and available and the data can be collected and sent to Metrology Gate complete of:
User Details
Part Number
Part Type
Shift details
Custom programmable details
