imess F435 offers extensive measurement of compression springs.
The worldwide proven system enables:
high precision quality control,
Information for a comfortable coiler setup and
easy spring construction with 3D data feedback.
Concept
innovative measurement concept for high precision measurement of compression and valve springs
The spring is centrally placed and analysed after a 360° turn.
A light bolt within the spring centre and a backlight illuminate the spring.
Prior to the measurement, a master spring is taught in which is used for comparison. The data of all master springs is saved to allow fast switches between the different types.
Features
imess F435 offers more than quality control of compression springs
Spring Quality Control
Fully automatic check of the most important characteristics over 360°. Regardless of the state of production. Raw, ground, set or blasted. imess F435 is prepared for every
testing situation.
Coiler Setup
The spring geometry highly influences the spring’s reaction under load. Therefore, production aims for constant spring geometry. Thus, the F435 has an interface to the coiler. The entire coiling data of the spring is provided for the machine. The coiler manufacturer then handles the data provided by imess to correct automatically. Due to the well-structured presentation, the operator can recognize the deviations in the pitch or diameter curve exactly to the degree and make manual corrections on the coiling machine.
Spring Construction
The software develops a 3D model of the spring from the collected data. The 3D file can be saved as .txt to be subsequently used by CAD or other simulation programs. Hence, they may be used as feedback for the R&D department.
