Industrial Applications

1. CNC Machining Workpiece Setup & Alignment

Automated and manual setup verification of flat workpieces on CNC milling machines. Operators mount the indicator by its standard 8mm stem to check part flatness and alignment across the travel bed before the cutting program begins.

Problem Solved

Its 0.01mm repeatability and unlimited response speed mean quick movements during setup alignment will not trigger lag or overspeed errors, reducing machine downtime.

2. Automotive Stamping Multi-Point Inspection Fixtures

Integration of multiple indicators into custom-built dimensional check fixtures. Used in high-speed production lines to verify tolerances of stamped automotive body panels and cast parts.

Problem Solved

Saves valuable setup time on the plant floor. The ABSOLUTE sensor restores the correct origin position immediately when powered on, while Digimatic SPC data output sends exact values to QC tracking software (like MeasurLink) without manual keyboard entry errors.

3. In-line Thin Plastics and Electronics Assembly Verification

Testing part thickness, gap verification, and assembly step heights on electronic component assembly lines.

Problem Solved

Sensitive plastic enclosures and delicate electronic surfaces can easily deform under heavy tool contact. The indicator's low measuring force of 1.5N or less allows precise touch verification without denting or damaging the measured product.
