Automate small part handling, digital caliper measurements and data logging
Pick, measure, 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 and processes.
Automation dramatically improves measurement consistency and repeatability.
Measure multiple dimensions in rapid succession
using up to three gripper/calipers on one robot
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® Workstation Kits – including three robotic gripper/calipers – give you a starting point for QC automation. Then you can go beyond calipers to incorporate additional gauges, including many that you already use manually. Automation dramatically improves consistency and repeatability. Learn more about using a Q-Span System with additional gauges.
