Q-Span Gauging Systems – Beyond Calipers
Automate Your Existing Manual Gauging Methods
Q-Span® Workstations are robotic tools that automate dimensional metrology and make manufacturing companies more competitive. Now you can easily automate part handling and gauging of critical dimensions in high-mix, small- batch manufacturing.
These do-it-yourself (DIY) robotic workstations seamlessly combine:
- A collaborative robot from Universal Robots
- New Scale’s innovative smart gripper/calipers
- Other standard gauges
- Teachable “plug-and-produce” software – As easy to use as a smartphone
Use Your Preferred Inspection Tools
Incorporate your preferred metrology tools from your trusted and approved suppliers. A Q-Span Workstation can work with tools from nearly all suppliers to automate your existing manual processes.
Contact gauging tools include:
- Calipers
- Bore gauges
- Height gauges
- Pin gauges
Non-contact inspection tools include:
- Air gauges
- Laser micrometers
- Vision systems
Improve Process Control, Yield and Throughput
Q-Span Workstations include easy-to-use software for robotic control and data collection. Digitize inspection data from multiple gauges into one output.
The flexible workstation lets you automate in-process gauging on the manufacturing floor. Easily generate real-time inspection data for up to 100% of your parts to reduce scrap and inspection costs.
