Hand-held optical edge, chamfer and radius scanner
GapGun Edge Break+
Third Dimension
brings precision break edge, chamfer and radius inspection to the shop floor.
Break edge inspection is a critical area of turbine manufacture. Sharp edges
must be smoothed down to radii or chamfers of precise dimensions to ensure
the correct and safe operation of components within a turbine. It is critical
to ensure that there is no undue stress during operation that might reduce
the working life of a component.
It is also a complex and difficult area to inspect. Historically, bespoke contact
measurement systems have been slow and cumbersome, with the only shop
floor alternative being imprecise manual gauges which rely on an operator's
judgment rather than measured values, preventing any kind of traceability.
GapGun Edge Break+ is a portable, handheld measurement system designed to measure chamfers, radii, and break edges in seconds, dramatically reducing inspection time, simplifying inspection and ensuring full traceability throughout the manufacturing process, saving time, reducing costs and increasing accuracy.
GapGun Edge Break+ uses a uniquely configured laser stripe as a datum measurement surface. Cutting edge software analyses the image data of the surface and checks the measured profile against dynamically created CAD data, showing the operator exactly how the part compares to nominal dimensions and warning when parts enter a "no go" condition. The profile of the surface, along with the upper and lower allowable profiles are shown on the GapGun Edge Break+'s large, colour touch screen providing instant feedback and allowing decisions to be made with confidence faster than ever before.
