Metrology system measures roughness, contours

Jenoptik Industrial Metrology has introduced the Hommel-Etamic wavemove, which is capable of measuring roughness and contours. It has eight fully automatic CNC axes to measure both roughness and contours in a single measuring run, recording as many data points as necessary.
The workpiece can be clamped into the measuring system at any stage of production and it automatically suggests predefined measuring points via the operating program.
Once the workpiece is clamped correctly, the operator uses a DMC hand-held scanner to capture the data matrix code. Depending on the stage of production and the workpiece type, the operator selects the appropriate measuring program and starts the measuring run.
The measurement process itself is fully automatic, with the measuring probes independently travelling to the predefined measuring points on the workpiece.
If required, the contour probe can be operated in parallel with the roughness probe, which provides convenient top and bottom measurement via two probe heads.
An optional safety system can be integrated into the loading process. A light curtain and sensors are used to monitor component clamping and check that staff are operating the system properly. If any deviations are identified, the measuring system switches to safe mode, which prevents damage to the component and the machine and protects the workers from injury.
