Our new portable measuring arm
In our continuing efforts to increase efficiency and improve the quality service we provide to our customers, we have added another exciting new machine to our lineup.
The QCT Inspecta 2600 manual measuring arm is a 3D measuring arm ideal for inspection, reverse engineering, digitising and rapid prototyping.
Located in a clean room at our manufacturing centre in Hixon, the measuring arm will replace our Virtek 2D scanner and allow us to provide initial sample inspection reports without the need to outsource.
QCT Inspecta arm adding value to our business
Operated with datum point detection, the measuring arm is ideal for analysing intricate parts, with a probe that can be touched and guided around a part without having to be removed for the next point position. Stable, accurate and light, the machine can be easily transported, making it an invaluable tool for inspecting inconveniently located or immovable parts.
Here’s what it can do…
Reporting
Using this new technology, we can produce initial sample inspection reports (ISIR) in-house, as well as other types of quality reporting (SPC, ISO, LEAN), reducing the cost and lead time of outsourcing, adding value to the customer.
Reverse engineering
By scanning flat form or model parts, the QCT Inspecta 2600 can more accurately and efficiently reverse engineer components, creating a DXF file for the customer or for use as part of our cutting service. The arm has a wing span of 2.6m, and with more advanced software cleaning and drafting/setting out is no longer necessary, saving time and resource.
Quality control
Internally, this machine will also help us check and approve the parts we make, confirming tolerances and ensuring that what we are producing meets the brief and specification provided, maintaining our high quality standards.
