Record and check the 3D Geometry of Suspension Springs
The imess F880 system has been designed to check the 3D geometry of of suspension springs up to 600 mm contactless and thus fast. Prior to measurement start, the spring is placed onto a centralising bolt and fixed in an upright position with two cones to ensure the best possible measurement results. Pitch Gap Diameter…
digital measurement of coil set
The latest development imess S30 detects the coil set of metal digitally and operator independent. The coil set phenomenon is typically occurring during decoiling processes due to the tension of the material itself. If the coil set is undetected, severe problems occur during the stamping. Regular inspection is thus required. The sheet sample is manually…
Detect Burr of Sheet Samples reliably
Cutting or stamping metal leads to burrs at the material. The burr may cause a bad final product. Therefore, the aim has to be the prevention of these burrs as early in the process as possible. Its development has to be detected as well as its height. The capable measurement system imess S28 is equipped…
Check of markings on suspension springs
The latest topic in the industry are various motors for future vehicles. However, independent from electronic or motors already in use, the chassis rarely changes. Suspension springs used in all types of vehicles are marked during production with diverse signatures such as colour dots, text or barcodes. Subsequently, the allocation to loadgroups, a constant tracking…
Successful industrial meeting in Stuttgart
We have been to the Blechexpo again this year like three times before to present our solutions for the metal-working industry. The numerous national and international guests saw our following systems themselves: During the four days of the trade fair, informative and exciting discussions took place regarding possible new developments of measurement solutions and their…
Thermography enriches optical test opportunities
Applications comprise the optical and thus non-destructive detection of: Temperature distribution Grip weakness Bubbles Impurities Electronic disruption Over heating (hot spots) etc. The cameras also have a line mode to check parent material fast with a high record rate as well as high resolution. Thanks to the fast reaction time, 100% inline control of all…
strong strip width measurement
2019 is a strong year for imess strip width measurement. Since January, five systems have been ordered and some have already been installed. The measuring widths of the systems are 1500, 1600 and 2100 mm. Strip width and number are irrelevant for the high-precision measurement. The systems achieve an accuracy of ± 0.01 mm so…
Optical Connector Inspection
The system imess C260 checks connectors contact free and capable of measuring system analysis processes inline. The exact geometry of pins is essential for the for the production of connectors since they have to fit into their respective counterpart. They have to be produced exactly according to drawings. The imess C260 operates with a capability…
Review: WAFIOS In-House Exhibition
Not only in the automotive industry high quality requirements come along with a rising number of measurement tools. Therefore the size of one system is getting more and more important while planning new factories and laboratories. imess presented the system F435 C as reaction to this development at the Wafios In-House Exhibition in Wuppertal, Germany.…
imess presents the circular knife analysis at the IWCC
The guests of the latest technical seminar of the International Wrought Copper Council (IWCC) 2019 in Shanghai was Mister Patrick Telders for the first time, general manager of imess. He accepted the invitation to present his „Operator independent analysis of circular knives“ which is our system to analyse circular knives optically for abrasion and cracks.…
solid measurement tables guarantee reliable quality assurance
Optical measurement tables test single samples in only a few steps fast, reliable and operator independent. The imess developments are tailor made for each task and the respective material. They automatize the measurement of samples and make them economically efficient. The measurement results are objective, repeatable and accurate. The product portfolio allows the measurement of…
Measurement of every convex wire contour
Wire is mostly depicted with a round profile. However, wire material can be of many different contours to save weight or installation space, for instance. Apart from oval or hexagonal shapes, profiles may be more complex. Multi-arc wire for instance consists of many tangential circle segments. imess developed a highly efficient wire measurement system F210…
Strip Width Measurement MSA capable
The unwound coil is cut into strips in steel service centers to process them further. The systems of the product range SW check the width of these strips. The abbreviation in this case SW stands for strip width. The imess strip width measurement is highly accurate and a capable measurement accuracy system. Thus, the accuracy…
operator independent circular knife analysis
Circular knives are used to cut large coils into strips. The knife has to withstand heavy forces and achieve the following criteria at all times low burr cut undamaged sheet edge Therefore a steady control of the knife’s wearing and detection of possible cracks is essential. imess S25 manages these tasks reliable and within a…
Measurement of Tailored Blanks
imess offers various optical measurement tables with their product line SQ. These tables are suitable for various materials and do not only apply to the metal industry. Systems have been installed to measure either the width of paper strips or fabrics. The system SQ2D, for instance, measures the contour of tailored blanks. These pre-products are…
Inline Concentricity and Runout Measurement
imess U100T checks the geometrical dimenstion and tolerance runout and concentricity inline. Moving the item may cause vibration which reduces the measurement accuracy or even prevents the measurement entirely. The construction of the U100T minimizes the risk by turning the camera around the fixed test item in only a few seconds. The system uses a…
imess on the road – Wire 2018
We successfully started our exhibition year on the Wire&Tube in Düsseldorf last week. We thank everyone who came to visit our booth to see the latest developments in the field of measurement and test equipment. The geometry check of valve and suspension springs has been our focus this year. Our systems qualify by operator independent…
Measurement and Test of Valve Springs
imess F435 provides a complete measurement and test for valve springs. The functions comprise the three most important steps which are required to constantly produce high quality. The optical measurement and test system automatically controls the quality of the spring, supports the setup of the coiler and delivers 3D file feedback for improved spring construction.…
Camber Measurement Systems
Slitting coils releases tension in semi-finished material which creates camber cut at the slitted strip. Camber which may be also called edge straightness may lead to tool damage and stopping the production, if it goes undetected. Despite several techniques to calculate the likeliness of camber cut, it cannot be prevented fully. Therefore, the camber needs…
Product Update: Camber …
The extension of the imess SMP inline provides compact and fast measurement of the three most important characteristics: width, thickness and camber of the sheet strip. The camber exclusive version is already installed and running smoothly. Thus, the system may be enhanced by two more functions. The width can be measured in line with an…
