operator-independent geometry measurement of arc springs – imess F610
Arc springs are primarily used for shock absorption. Therefore, high quality is most important.
imess offers the comprehensive quality test of this component.
Concept
smart test concept for inline measurement of arc springs
The F610 system measures arc springs automatically inline. The springs are placed with a feeding system (by customer or producer) onto the rotary disc. The camera records the springs with backlight. Afterwards the software evaluates the pictures and signals the controls to sort good and bad parts.
Features
complete arc spring inspection with multiple functions
Inline arc spring measurement
Contactless and fully automatic image acquisition and evaluation.
Interface to SPS
Measurement results as well as nominal data and tolerances can be exchanged with the customer’s IT via an interface. If required, a signal can be sent to reject bad parts and different NIO switches can be controlled depending on the type of defect.
High-precision measurement using telecentric
The use of telecentric lenses allows even the smallest springs to be measured precisely.
The backlighting enables an exactly
detection of the spring contour
in the camera image.

Variants
Arc spring measurement at the stand-alone test station
imess F600 | Single measurement station for sample inspection
The concept is similar to the inline variant. Instead of a rotary plate, only one spring position is required. The arc spring is placed on the glass plate and measured after start. The software offers similar functions.
