Solution Proposal from Mitutoyo

Are You Satisfied with the Current Shape Measurement of Bearings and Cylinders?

　 -Non-contact cylindrical shape measuring machine　 ROUNDTRACER FLASH

Bearings and cylinders are critical components that significantly influence the safety, durability, and quiet operation of finished products. Ensuring their quality is paramount, making in-process inspection an essential element of effective quality control.

As quality demands rise, challenges such as measurement accuracy, process efficiency, and consistent inspection can hinder your operations. Are you facing any of these issues?

Mitutoyo’s ROUNDTRACER FLASH, a non-contact cylindrical shape measuring machine, provides solutions to address these challenges.

Challenges:

• There are temperature fluctuations on-site, which can skew measurement accuracy.

• We want to boost production, but measurement time is a bottleneck in the process.

• Unplanned machine failures can cause production line stoppages.
  

Measurement at the Touch of a Button: Simplifying In-Process Inspection Setup

Many companies rely on traditional measuring tools for in-process inspection of bearings and cylinders. However, methods like the diameter method or three-point method often require complex setups, increasing the likelihood of operator errors.

Mitutoyo's ROUNDTRACER FLASH addresses these challenges with a user-friendly clamp mechanism and one-touch measurement capability. This innovative approach significantly reduces setup time for in-process inspections while minimizing the risk of operator mistakes.

It significantly reduces setup time and helps prevent mistakes.

Quick Detection of Shape Errors in Assembly Parts

Are shape errors in assembly parts—undetectable by traditional diameter or three-point measurement methods—causing fitting issues and assembly equipment failures?

The ROUNDTRACER FLASH addresses this challenge with a stable clamp mechanism for precise positioning and a dynamic mode that measures while rotating. This advanced system quickly detects shape errors beyond the capabilities of conventional methods, reducing fitting errors and minimizing the risk of equipment failure.

It quickly detects shape errors and minimizes fitting errors.

Effortless Data Storage for Quick History Checks

Are you storing measurement results from tools or gauges on paper, making it time-consuming to review records when issues arise?

The ROUNDTRACER FLASH simplifies this process by enabling measurement results to be output in CSV format. Digitizing the data not only streamlines problem resolution but also significantly reduces the time needed to access historical records.

CSV output simplifies history checks, significantly reducing the time needed to resolve problems.

Applications of ROUNDTRACER FLASH

The ROUNDTRACER FLASH can measure a wide range of bearings and cylinders, including those used in xEV drive motor components, turbochargers, constant velocity joints, dental equipment, and medical devices.
