Industrial Applications

1. Large-Format Aerospace Structural Component Inspection

Checking the overall length and critical reference dimensions of large fuselage ribs, bulkheads, and wing stringers during pre-assembly quality control.

Problem Solved

Provides precise, repeatable dimensional checks of long-span components up to 1000mm directly on the shop floor, avoiding the need for transport to stationary coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and saving substantial process cycle time.

2. Heavy Machinery and Automotive Frame Assembly Quality Control

Measuring the alignment and span of heavy engine mounts, vehicle chassis frames, and large-diameter mechanical components on active assembly lines.

Problem Solved

Ensures direct shop-floor verification of large-scale tolerances with an accuracy of ±0.07mm, utilizing seamless cabled SPC data transmission to automatically log measurements and eliminate manual transcription errors.

3. Large-Diameter Pipe and Flange Manufacturing Verification

Confirming outer diameters and flange-to-flange spacing on heavy-duty industrial piping, pressure vessels, and structural tubing.

Problem Solved

Prevents deflection errors typical in standard calipers by utilizing the highly rigid 6x25mm stainless steel beam, ensuring high accuracy up to 1 meter while retaining original zero-settings across multiple shifts without recalibration.
