Measurably precise

It doesn’t get more objective than that!

The patented GMS-S allows for a 100% inline measurement of the unambiguous and effective straightness and twist of rod products. The known measurement deviation of conventional test methods, caused by existing constraining and static friction forces in workpiece fixtures, centrifugal forces in rotating test systems or the scatter of the subjective operator assessment, are completely eliminated by the GMS-S. The measuring result is comparable to a survey with zero gravity!

Digitaler Nutzen gemessener Daten
01

Digital benefits of measured data

DBy digitising the unambiguous product straightness, upstream or downstream manufacturing processes can be evaluated immediately or optimised in the aftermath by machine learning algorithms. The superordinate added value is the reduction of production costs.

Industrietaugliche Implementierung
02

Implementation for industrial applications

Thanks to our many years of expertise in mechanical engineering, especially for the semi-finished products industry, adverse environmental conditions are not an obstacle for us, but experience that has been incorporated into the GMS-S product. For example, vibrations introduced into the measuring nuit or workpiece are absorbed by an intelligent damping system. Depending on your production architecture, we integrate the GMS-S with various adjustment solutions. Lifting your products into the GMS-S or lifting the workpiece out of an existing chain conveyor are just two implementation approaches.

Mechanische Adaptierbarkeit
03

Mechanical adaptability

Whether linear moving, swiveling or statically installed contour scanners - the digitization technology of the workpiece contour is selected together with you on the basis of our many years of independent expertise based on your production environment.

Use case

The GMS-S was used to control the production quality of brass profiles in a continuous target line by ASMAG GmbH. The result: Objective measurement results in a cycle time of less than 2 seconds!
