VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator / Profile Projector Applications

VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparators are being used by many different companies across a very wide range of industries. Here are some examples of applications we have solved within various industries:

Aerospace and Aeronautics

Turbine Disk Inspection
Auto Pass/Fail inspection of a turbine disk fir tree with CAD Auto-Pass/Fail™
Automatically compare turbine disk fir trees against their CAD data with variable and uniform tolerances...
Hole Inspection and Measurement
measurement and inspection of EDM- and LASER-drilled drilled holes and slots
Automatically verify hole presence and accurately measure EDM- and Laser-drilled hole locations on aircraft engines and IGT components...
Turbine Blade Fir Tree Root Forms
Apply tighter tolerances on pressure faces and looser tolerances elsewhere for turbine blade fir tree inspection and measurement
Automatic inspection and measurement of turbine fir tree root forms...
