This webinar will focus on the application of automated gauging systems for process control of machining operations. Dan will be joined by gauging expert, Robert Sand (former President of Nelson Precision and Mahr) as they walk through the process of specifying and commissioning gauging systems used on the shop floor to measure critical features. This provides control between operations, direct feedback to CNC machines, and overall visibility of the machining process.
This is part of Renishaw's FAME series which shares real world examples and provides practical guidance on how to achieve Flexible, Automated Machining Efficiency in your machining operations. Learn how to lower manpower requirements, achieve faster transition between projects and obtain higher overall profitability.
Primary Topics:
- Gauging system configurations
- Comparative versus absolute measurement
- Process control versus final inspection
- Types of automation obtainable
