The
ContouReader by PMC Gage, Inc. is part of a new generation of precision
instruments to inspect both internal and external dimensions of
literally thousands of parts to guarantee the quality of your products.
There are two versions of the ContouReader; a standard and new Windows-based
computerized version. The ContouReader inspects everything from
dimples on golf balls to turbine blades with the same repeatable
accuracy to reveal any defects, deviation from specifications, or
rough edges that can adversely affect product quality.
The
operation of the ContouReader is simple. A part is placed in a fixture,
and the tracing stylus moves gently over the surface of the part,
transferring the stylus arm movements into electrical voltages which
are amplified and transmitted to the chart recorder or computer
display. The recorder moves a pen to draw an exact duplicate of
the part contour on chart paper up to 200 times its original size,
and with accuracy of ±0.0002 inches on the standardized version.
The computerized version will display an exact duplication of the
part contour to an infinite magnification. A manual or electronic
master overlay is used over the ContouReader tracing to compare
for accuracy.
What
will you be able to see? Crest forms, root radii, flank angles,
pitch diameters, and others, all in seconds on a permanent record
strip chart or electronically. The electronic version can be shared
via DXF or DWG format.
