Dimensional Measurement Application: Ensure the dimensional compliance of your parts

Dimensional measurement is at the heart of many quality control processes. APREX offers advanced solutions for measuring critical dimensions in production—such as diameters, distances, thicknesses, and XYZ coordinates—with precision and reliability, even at high speeds.

 

  • Precise Measurements: Key Applications and Types of Inspections
  • Diameter measurement: Verification of dimensions on cylindrical parts.
  • Distance measurement: inspection of clearances for perfect assemblies.
  • Thickness: precise analysis of laminated or multilayer materials.
  • XYZ positioning: spatial positioning for complex operations.

Some examples of use cases

 

  • Metallurgy: Inspection of pipe and tube diameters.
  • Mechanical engineering: Inspection of gear or shaft dimensions.
  • Automotive suppliers: Sorting screws by size.

Technical Challenges

 

  • Very tight dimensional tolerances.
  • Variability in parts depending on production batches.
  • Adaptability to high production rates without loss of precision.
  • Environmental variations (light, vibration, dust, heat, etc.).
  • Dimensional Measurement Technologies Offered by APREX
  • Optical sensors and linear cameras for fast and accurate data acquisition.
  • Flexible combination of multiple methods depending on project requirements.
  • Advanced analysis software and AI to detect deviations virtually invisible to the naked eye.

What Sets Us Apart
