WM |MOBILE MEASUREMENT IN THE PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT Mobile measuring arms from WENZEL are characterized by great flexibility, enabling use in both production and quality assurance processes. By combining a portable 7-axis measuring arm with a high-resolution line scanner, which captures every detail contact-free, the measuring arms represent a useful complement to your established classical coordinate measuring systems. The use of the latest materials makes the measuring arm a lightweight unit that delivers highly accurate and reproducible measurement results in mobile applications. The measuring arm can be used directly on the component - both with optical and tactile sensors - without any warm-up time and without sticking markers to the component. The measurement results obtained can then be transmitted via a WiFi interface for further use. The capacity and low consumption of the integrated battery ensure reliable operation of the measuring arm over a long period of time. FEATURES ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Freedom of movement due to 7 axes with axis limit detection Automatic button recognition Temperature compensated Stable resting position Internal weight compensation with damping element WM | MEASUREMENT AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT The Wenzel CORE D is a 5-axis, optical CMM system which is ideal for measurement of small to medium turbine blades, medical implants or any other parts with similar characteristics of polished, reflective surfaces and sharp edges. The characteristics above are measured with a unique, “Double-eye” sensor which ensures good point accessibility and even collects reliable data with the axis of the light beam up to 85ᵒ to the surface normal. The new generation of CORE D has an automatic cover which closes during the measurement cycle ensuring perfect optical, thermal and clean conditions. The CORE D is shop-hardened, designed to be robot loaded and occupies a small footprint. The CORE D can also be calibrated to ISO standards just like a CMM. BENEFITS • Specialist Applications, the best machine for the job Turbine blades | Medical parts | Other parts with similar features • Speed, because time is money 5-axis | High scanning speeds | No part preparation or spraying needed • Shop Floor, close to production Small footprint | Protection from environment | Built for automation • Flexibility to get you the solution YOU need Range of sensors and configurations | Internal blade reporting or export in many formats | Measure parts with dull or shiny finish • Reliability of Results, an optical machine you can trust No cosine error | No out-of-plane error | Optical system with known uncertainty (ISO 10360) WM | CAPTURE YOU PART’S DNA The exaCT U offers a simplified, cost-effective and fully automated workflow for the entire CT analysis process. Due to its high performance combined with a large measuring volume, the exaCT U enables the measurement and testing of large components with higher densities. Due to intuitive user guidance, exact measurement results can be generated after a short training period. The exaCT U thinks along with you: Measurement parameters are automatically optimized by the system. In its performance class, the exaCT U is one of the most compact computer tomographs on the market. It has five independent traversing axes and offers impressive resolution. Hardware and software offer the possibility of automated integration into the production line and deliver market-driven answers to questions about industry 4.0. WENZEL was awarded the Customer Value Leadership Award 2017 from Frost & Sullivan for the exaCT U. FEATURES Configurable system, to address individual user requirements and automation High power of 300 kV sets new standards for reconstruction speed Large measuring volume of 700 mm in height and 330 mm in diameter High resolution (4000 x 4000 px) for measuring components with tight tolerances and complex structures Five independent travel axes for high speeds and short measuring and testing times
