Benefits of Automated In-Cell Inspection Why even consider automating an inspection process within
a cell? Torres recommends it for reducing factory setup time, manufacturing defects, product lead time and in some cases direct labor costs. “[Users] must also consider that these type of cells have a by-product; these processes require knowledge- able employees or service providers to integrate and maintain them over the long haul,” he says. Not more expensive labor, but re-educated labor. “I have personally witnessed a company transition from three inspectors to one inspector; however, the other two inspectors became automation process experts after the company purchased three cells,” he explains. He believes all customers considering automation should be prepared for this unavoidable “re-education” paradigm shift.
Repeatability rather than absolute accuracy is what makes Renishaw’s Equator Gage ideal for the shop floor, according to the company.
The Metal and Plastic Marking Laser Built to Meet Your Needs
I HAVE PROBES ON MY MACHINE; I DON’T NEED A PRESETTER
Misconception #8
To etch 2D, linear, and data matrix barcodes. Engrave logos and graphics on your parts and tools. To mark, polish, anneal and etch with one machine. To be able to set up custom jobs quickly and easily. To engrave fonts as intricate as 2 pt.
The Truth Is: A probe may be an effective way to verify tool lengths between cuts, but it is not the most efficient way to set your tools. A “guess-and-check” process for making adjustments wastes valuable cutting time. A Speroni MAGIS Tool Presetter can verify runout, measure length, diameter, radius, and other geometries using measuring icons, and it can also inspect tools for wear. Spend less time adjusting and more time cutting.

The notch-free nut design of our Mega Micro Chuck prevents vibration at high speeds for superior balance and concentricity. It not only eliminates whistling noise and coolant splattering, but also assures increased strength of the nut itself. The super slim taper design of the body offers added strength for micro end milling, and reduces interference in long reach applications.
A machine that runs on the soſtware you already use. A machine capable of metal marking large parts and tools. To engrave multiple tools at once with a jig. To etch cylindrical parts and tools. A system that can be set up and running in minutes.
