Sliding head lathes excel at high-volume production of complex parts. However, reliance on offline measurement often produces inaccurate measurements, resulting in bottlenecks and inconsistencies.
VICIVISION’s real-time measurement solutions integrate seamlessly into production lines and provide immediate insights to address bottlenecks, improve quality, and reduce scrap. This empowers informed data-driven decisions and drives operational excellence for sliding head departments.
6 reasons to inspect parts from your sliding head department with VICIVISION
1. Designed for the shopfloor
Specifically designed for the rigors of the shopfloor, VICIVISION turned part measurement machines integrate seamlessly into existing production lines alongside sliding head lathes. Their compact footprint and robust construction of VICIVISION machines means they can strive in even the harshest shopfloor environments, enabling fast and responsive data reporting for optimal production efficiency.
2. Increased speed
Real-time feedback directly on the shopfloor dramatically boosts production speed. VICIVISION’s rapid measurement of complex turned parts provides greater insights, allowing operators to instantly adjust lathe parameters, preventing shopfloor defects. This real-time insight, coupled with VICIVISION’s ability to perform 100% inspections keeps production flowing smoothly and optimises output volume.
3. Improved accuracy
Elevate production accuracy to sub-micron repeatability and unmatched precision with VICIVISION turned part measurement systems which identifies the smallest deviations on turned parts, guaranteeing consistent outputs that meet exact specifications. VICIVISION’s unwavering accuracy delivers reliable data, highlighting informed production decisions and targeted modifications, moving production process towards zero-defect excellence.
4. User friendly
VICIVISION’s user-friendly measurement solutions utilise intuitive software and automated features to guide operators of all abilities through precise part measurement. They allows operators to quickly and accurately measure complex parts, keeping pace with the demands of the fastest sliding head lathes. VICIVISION achieves guaranteed high-quality measurements, maximising operator efficiency and minimising downtime.
5. Comprehensive reporting
VICIVISION turned part measurement solutions delivers customisable reports to facilitate data-driven decision-making. They provide comprehensive insights through SPC charts, histograms, and trend charts, tracking key metrics to identify areas within production for improvement, optimisation and consistency, eliminating the guesswork from the shopfloor.
6. Reduced scrap & waste
Utilise VICIVISION’S advanced measurement capabilities to minimise waste and scrap by scrutinising real-time data from lathe operations. They identify critical parameters, including cutting speed and feed rate, that can be adjusted to refine production. This guarantees consistently accurate and high-quality parts, but also significantly reduces scrap.
