Digital Miniature Flexure
The new DU/0.5/S miniature flexure is Solartrons latest extension to the family of flexures. The ultra compact design allows for applications in confined space with a high number of measurement points on small objects. The very high resolution and Gauge R&R at <0.1μm achieved in the larger DU/1.0/S and DU/2/S flexures is kept without degradation over millions of measuring cycles in this new product.
Digital Flexures are the ideal solution for high precision/ high volume post process or in process gauging applications where cycle time is short and high throughout would shorten the life of a conventional pencil probe. There are no sliding parts to wear out or to cause friction within the frame or sensor which makes Solartron Flexures virtually free from Hysteresis.
Flexures can be mounted such that there is little or no stress through the gauge centre line and enabling precision profiling of moving material, such as sheet material or rotating shafts, brake discs etc. The option to take readings of < 0.1 m at speeds of up to 3906 readings per second per Flexure into the Orbit® Network provides very detailed profiling.
The digital miniature flexure is fully compatible with Orbit® and is very linear over its full measurement range. The tool mounting assembly can be variously adjusted along the gauges length and fixed with M2.5 screws. A choice of holder and tips are available for maximum flexibility. The unique design offers a high degree of factory serviceable parts, providing a low cost repair which in turn reduces the cost of ownership to the end customer. |
