Quality assurance for turned parts with optical metrology

Turned parts often feature geometries that are difficult to access with conventional 3-axis measurement systems. However, these areas play a crucial role in the functionality and quality of the component. Inadequate measurements can lead to deviations that impact the entire assembly.

Solution: Optimized measurement capabilities with 5 axes
Using the FocusX with an additional rotation and tilt unit (Real3DUnitX) greatly simplifies the measurement process. Expanding to 5 axes enables highly accurate measurement of complex geometries. During the turning process, the controlled movement of raw material on a single rotation axis, combined with a cutting insert moving solely along the X-axis, ensures extreme precision, allowing even the tightest tolerances to be met.

Parameters to be measured:

GD&T and diameters
Geometries on turned parts
Contours and angles of turned parts
Roughness of lathe tool marks
