Q-5OOO Qualifier

Laser Gauging and Magnetic Imagery

Mectron’s radial array of laser light provides a distinct advantage with the part being inspected by multiple point occlusion. The degree of occluded light is directly related to the part’s dimensions as it moves through the inspection points.
 
The laser array provides up to 16 points of inspection through 360º over the entire length of the part, which allows gauging dimensional discrepancies anywhere on the part. This patented technology separates Mectron from all other inspection equipment companies.
 
Simply pass a good part down the track to automatically display the part outline on the instrument’s touch screen. Utilizing your part print, you can set up an unlimited number of gauge zones for each of the eight lasers.
 
Tabulation of gauge zones helps you determine where the manufacturing process has varied from the part print. Data collected for each part can be saved and obtained from the instruments hard drive, USB flash drive, or network to provide feedback to the manufacturing process.
 

Magnetic Image

The Q-5000 includes Mectron’s MI9500 Magnetic Imagery™. Magnetic Imagery is an advanced digital eddy current technique that provides the most complete on-the-fly metallurgical inspection available on the market today. The instrument develops a magnetic image of each part as it passes through the Qualifier to create the part’s signature. This full signature provides the opportunity to detect the most critical metallurgical defects such as cracks, material mixes, conductive plating’s, and hardness by a visual deviation in the magnetic display. The percentage of deviation is displayed and acceptable limits can be quickly defined using the touch screen programming capabilities.
