Inspection increases accuracy, speed of tube production
For Yoshimura R&D, reducing setup time is critically important. The company has found one way to do that is reducing inspection time.
Bending tubes accurately, every time and in less time
Using Hexagon inspection and scanning equipment has helped Sharpe Products improve its tube bending operations by increasing the speed and documentation of inspections.
Optical system helps tube fabricator with high-speed measurements
As New York tube fabricator Spinco accumulated bending machines, it encountered a bottleneck in using a measurement arm for QC checks. An optical measurement system that keeps up with all 18 benders helped the company grow during the pandemic.
Accurex TubeInspect optical measurement systems support manual, automated tube processes
The new TubeInspect P16.2 HRC and TubeInspect P8.2 HRC systems from Accurex Measurement provide fast, fully optical measurement of tubes and tubular assemblies. With their speed and hands-off measurement, the machines support both manually fed CNC bending and fully automated operations. The...
Aircraft components manufacturer adds another leg to lean journey
As part of its journey down the path of lean manufacturing, Globe Engineering Co. Inc. reviewed how it verified the dimensions of the tube it bends. Its investigation led it to abandon its conventional mechanical measurement methods and adopt a camera-based optical system.
Camera-based measurement system sends waves of productivity through fabrication shop
When Bob Burns, owner of Aero Bending Co., Palmdale, Calif., moved his company to a new and bigger location, he considered adding to the company’s fleet of benders. However, a number of bending machine operators often lined up to measure bent components, creating a bottleneck. Changing to an optical inspection system cleared this bottleneck.
Focusing on bent tubing
Measuring the bends and straight sections of a bent tube can be tricky and time-consuming, especially if the tube has a large number of bends in several directions. Photogrammetry, also known as optical measurement, uses a booth equipped with several digital cameras to make a digital image of the part, allowing fast, easy measurements.
