To ensure maximum power and efficiency, optimum grading and matching of motor engine cylinder head and cam shaft is very important.

3 points measurements reading are taken per journal and cradle, both gauging probes and flexures were used to achieve optimum results, with the diameter and center points being calculated from these figures.

12 Solartron sensors were used in one fixture, communicating with one another using solartron's Orbit@3 network, a fully formed digital measurement system.

Taking measurements of glass for automotive and industrial applications needs to be precise and delicate. A combination of probes and non-contact sensors can be used with a single Orbit® Manager providing reliable data acquisition.

As technologies have progressed, car manufacturers have had to ensure the precision production of parts and casing to ensure the smooth running and ultimate performance they strive to achieve, whilst keeping production costs down.

Using 120 probes integrated using the Orbit® Network, the interior geometry of the two main cases of a transfer/differential system could be measured at one time in an off-gauge station.

Working alongside companies who supply accurate and reliable precision gauging probes to manufacturing companies, Solartron Metrology’s display unit can improve the overall product offering, providing data to the end user.

When the mechanical engineers are designing a new chassis or a new security device for the automotive market, they base their analysis on existing theoretical schematics and structures behaviors.

The validation processes are very important to match the theory and the reality. 

In studying the movement structure in real situation, they definitively settle it.

Post process gauging or the grading of bearing components are among the most demanding of all post process gauging applications. Both Flexures and Block Gauges provide fast and reliable measurements in hard to reach places.

Manufacturing companies undertaking the measurement of flatness for surface need to take precise readings for the smallest degree of change. The Orbit® 3 Network is able to take synchronised readings of several digital probes.

Ensuring the maintenance of rolling machines in paper and metals industries is paramount to ensuring the output material is of the correct standard. The Orbit® 3 measurement system supplies the roll grinder operator the data needed.

The position and measurements of a zipper on a plastic bag needs to be taken in-process as the material is dispensed from a roll, prior to the cutting and heat sealing process. Measurements needed are height of the zipper whilst zipped and the gripper.

With costs soaring and people becoming more environmentally aware, it is important for manufacturers of commercial products to try to reduce the amount of materials used where possible, achieved through thinner materials without compromising quality.
