Hello everyone, I'm James Porter and I'm the Product Manager here at Taylor Hobson for
shop floor systems. I want to introduce today the new Surtronic R150 product that's been designed to be fast,
accurate and fit for the shop floor
as standard we get the two millimeter gauge we get a high precision sensor and level table and
we also have the tablet running the intuitive software that is now on the Windows 10 platform
For high production environment, it's essential that the instrument measures quickly. I'm now going
to demonstrate just how quick we can measure a standard part. The rapid center fixture is a great
accessory that reduces measurement cycle time. The way it works is by clamping these drawers closed.
We have three balls at the bottom that sit in the three grooves on the table top meaning it's very
simple to use to take around this measurement on the bearing we can place the component onto
the rapid center fixture we can easily close the drawers and that will center the part
it's going to contact onto the surface
and we can spin the table and click measure
when we're finished we get presented with the result
an important aspect of the instrument is the ability to orientate the gauge
quickly and easily now we're going to take a look at just how easy it is to do this
as you can see now we're in vertical mode to go to horizontal we do this and now I'm in flatness mode
now we're going to demonstrate the flatness measurement using this demo sample here
I'm going to place it on the top with the three balls
to take a flatness measurement we're going to go into the flatness menu I'm going to contact
the gauge using the column. We can use this screen to contact the gauge using the column
once we're contacted. We can gently rotate the table and then click measure
as before the progress bar was moving
forward once the measurements are taken to save the data. We can simply click here
choose the location and click save.
The next measurement we're going to take a look at is wall thickness variation the great feature
about the instrument is that we can measure over center and that means there's no need to orientate
the gauge in between measurements. This is really important for production environments where we
want fast measurements to occur to take the measurement we navigate to the wall thickness app
once we're in the app we have two icons the first icon is for the outside measurement and
the second icon is for the inside measurement I'm going to start with the outside measurement for
the first measurement we're going to contact onto the outside of the part i'm going to click measure
now it's time for the inside measurement so I'm going to move off the surface
we're going to come above the part I can now go into the inside move down and contact
and now we can take the second measurement
as you can see on the screen we've got both measurements displayed
and we can see the thickness variation the strike R150 can also do lots more
advanced features and measurements we will show you this in the future.
