Simplifying Inspections for Timex

Keyence的IM系列加快并简化了Timex的检查

Keyence的即时维度测量系统可以在每个人的范围内更快地检查。

Timex是美国的领先制表师，在80多个国家 /地区出现。法国实体弗拉斯森（Fralsen）使用三种技术进行手表动作 - 小零件的塑料注射成型，并具有非常细节的细节；车轮，小齿轮，乔木和铆钉等零件的转弯和切割；以及复杂弹簧的切割和盘绕。这些精度零件必须使用接触传感器（比较器，Cary设备，触角主轴）和光学系统检查。

“我们希望更现代，更高效的光学检查设备。换句话说，我们希望能够在更少的时间内检查更多的零件。”弗拉斯森质量控制部门的西尔万·斯科托说。“我们还希望一台可以由非专家操作并能够记录测量的机器。”

同心性的公差和精度为15μm，中心间距和距离为±10μm。每个部分至少有五个关键点。

“With conventional inspection equipment, measurements took too long. As a result, we couldn’t measure many parts and there was a risk of overlooking significant variations within batches. Before obtaining the IM Series, we used a variety of equipment. Our optical measuring device, which, although very accurate, is not very practical for quick measurements on a daily basis. Furthermore, it requires a high level of skill to operate. The shop microscopes provide accurate measurements, but are tricky to operate and severely limit the number of measurements and parts. In addition, a reference point for truing-up has to be created. Lastly, due to the sometimes long inspection times, our templates and projectors allow only a limited number parts to be measured and there is a risk of misinterpretation,” adds Sylvain Scotto.

“The IM Series is simpler to operate, saves time and eliminates variations of interpretation of measurements. Results are conveniently displayed in green (for good) or red (for bad). KEYENCE’s solution allows several parts to be measured simultaneously. The size of the parts and the number of elements making up the program are the only limits. There is no need for manual truing-up because the system does it all by itself by recognising each part’s geometry. Furthermore, results can be saved and statistics tracked. Part profiles can be compared against master profiles imported from CAD files. As a result, we no longer need to position templates on parts and measure differences in shape by eye. The machine does so automatically and extracts an instant of the contour showing the difference with the tolerance. All in all, measurements are fast and do not require special skills.”

新的IM-6500系列图像维度测量系统几乎完全没有时间可靠地测量功能。只需将目标放在舞台上，然后按按钮即可。在几秒钟内，可重复性为±1微米，最多可测量99点。无论其位置或方向如何，都发现并测量目标，并且没有受到操作员技能水平变化影响的测量风险。

多亏了IPASS形状检测方法，系统确定目标的位置和角度，使测量值自动。

“很简单,因为在系统all you have to do is adjust the focus and load the program for the part being inspected. All the QC technicians in the Quality Department use the machine for final inspection of parts before their placement in stock. The operators in the cutting shop also use it to measure certain parts during production. The programming is completely user-friendly. The faster inspection times enable us to track dimensions better and thus improve the quality of a large number of the parts we deliver. What’s more, we haven’t received a single complaint from clients about any of the parts measured on the machine. For example, we use KEYENCE’s IM- 6500 to inspect the concentricity of every single cut wheel and automatically record the measurements,” says Sylvain Scotto.

定子的轮廓叠加在CAD文件上。使用旧方法（模板和投影仪），此过程很长。现在，可以在不到一分钟的时间内检查三个部分，而不是在五分钟内进行五个部分。该配置文件还允许机械工程部门查看零件需要重新加工的位置。红色轮廓表明定子处于位置（蓝色区域）的公差极限。
