Focus: Gun Barrels
Case Study Firearms
Challenge: Gun barrels are high production parts that require precision measurements. Traditional methods such as hand gaging are subject to inaccuracies and variable repeatability, depending on an inspector’s technique and individual skill set. Hard gaging requires set-up time and is limited to speci�c parts. In order to speed up production, improve repeatability and achieve the necessary accuracies, an automated inspection system is needed.
The VICIVISION Advantage: VICIVISION optical measurement systems perform fast and accurate external dimensional pro�le measurements on a wide range of cylindrical parts. Measurements are done in one easy step, and no special �xturing is required. The adjustable upper tailstock moves easily to accommodate various size parts. VICIVISION makes it easier and faster to measure run-outs, coaxiality, diameter, radii, angles, external threads and chamfers. VICIVISION’s Full-Scan™ processing acquires a complete pro�le scan of a part in one pass, allowing tens or even hundreds of dimensions to be measured in the same fast cycle time.
The Result: The VICIVISION MTL 850 Ergon successfully measures a variety of gun barrels with reduced setup time and no special �xtures. Parts are easily secured on the machine through a locking mechanism on the adjustable upper tailstock. Parts are measured directly on the shop �oor, providing rapid feedback to the manufacturing process. This VICIVISION automated solution provides fast, repeatable measurements for gun barrels.
