Automate small part handling, measurement, sorting, and data logging
Pick, measure, sort, and place parts with one robotic workstation
Q-Span® Workstation Kits let you automate QC measurements of small parts. The do-it-yourself robotic inspection tool offers fast ROI in high-mix, small-batch manufacturing. Easy to set up, easy to reconfigure for additional parts, gauges and processes.
Automation dramatically improves measurement consistency and repeatability.
Pick small parts with the robotic gripper/calipers
Measure multiple dimensions in rapid succession
(using the robotic calipers or other gauges)
Sort parts based on measurements
(pass/fail, bin)
Record measurement data
for statistical analysis and process control
Flexible automation, fast ROI
Increase staff skills and productivity, enable social distancing
Install quickly, change-over in minutes to measure different parts
Rapid return on investment (ROI) of less than 10 months
Incorporate additional gauges: Q-Span Gauging Systems
Q-Span® Workstation Kits, with three robotic gripper/calipers, are ideal for workforce education programs and can be useful as a starting point for exploring QC automation.
For machining and manufacturing settings, most QC teams choose to configure a Q-Span Gauging System for their existing gauges and processes. These systems can incorporate a wide variety of gauges, including many that you already use manually.
