In the world of industrial manufacturing, precision and reliability are fundamental to ensuring product quality. Bruker Alicona has taken a step forward in this field with the launch of its new solution: the Shopfloor Enclosure for the FocusX system. This innovation is designed to enhance quality control processes directly on the factory floor, enabling precise measurements even in the most demanding conditions.
Protection and Precision in Challenging Environments
The Shopfloor Enclosure has been developed to protect the FocusX system from adverse environmental factors, such as airborne particles, dust, and water or oil splashes. This protection ensures the system can operate effectively in challenging production environments. Furthermore, the solution includes an integrated workstation with two monitors, a keyboard, and a mouse pad, facilitating its use and reducing setup complexity.
"In today's manufacturing environments, precision and reliability are essential. The Shopfloor Enclosure ensures that the FocusX can deliver precise measurements even under the most difficult conditions." - Marco Fürpass, Bruker Alicona.
Key Features of the Shopfloor Enclosure
- Advanced Protection: Resistant to dust, water, and oil.
- Ease of Use: Integrated workstation with monitors and keyboard.
- Stability: Four adjustable legs for uneven surfaces.
- Durability: Robust construction with high-quality materials.
- Mobility: Easy to move within the facility.
- IP 53 Rating: Protection against dust and water splashes.
Flexibility and Efficiency on the Production Line
One of the most notable advantages of the Shopfloor Enclosure is its ability to allow operators to perform measurements directly on the production line. This eliminates the need for complex setups and reduces downtime. Users can plan and teach measurements online or offline with a single setup, improving efficiency and optimizing quality control processes.
Benefits for Operators
- Inline Measurement: No need to move parts to laboratories.
- Simplified Setup: Planning and teaching measurements in a single step.
- Reduced Downtime: Greater production efficiency.
FocusX: Cutting-Edge Technology for Precise Measurements
The FocusX system uses Advanced Focus Variation technology to perform precise measurements of micro-geometries and surface roughness, even on reflective or smooth surfaces. Its compact and versatile design makes it an ideal tool for production environments. Furthermore, the Real3DUnitX unit enhances its adaptability, providing five-axis capability to access and measure all surfaces of components.
Technological Capabilities of FocusX
- 360° Measurements: Complete analysis of complex geometries.
- CAD Comparison: Facilitates analysis of hard-to-measure parts.
- Precision: Ideal for reflective or smooth surfaces.
