AIMS Metrology has teamed with Italian-based Itaca Srl.to expand its Revolution series product offering with a dimensional measurement solution developed and built by the engineering company. FlexGauge, a shop floor flexible gauging system, is suited to applications that require tactile scanning for small, high-precision parts and high-speed manufacturing.
“Our goal is to give manufacturers the right inspection and measurement tool,” said Thomas Ayers, sales and business development director (Southeast) for AIMS. “The FlexGauge falls under the umbrella of our product offering by giving customers a fully traceable, highly accurate gauge that can perform inspections without the need for master parts. It replaces an entire workbench of hand or air gauges. We have an in-house service group that can tailor FlexGauge to a customer’s specific application by changing out parts. It is a highly accurate option for high-production, high throughput operations.”
The Revolution FlexGauge has a space-saving profile yet is engineered to provide micron accuracy in a job shop environment. A granite base and moving column resist temperature fluctuations while a glass ceramic scale with 0.1-micron measurement capability supports high accuracy at production sites housed in harsh environments. The FlexGauge is especially suited to parts inspection for components ranging from brake calipers, hub and bearing rings, and camshafts to CV joints and actuator rods.
AIMS’s diverse assortment of software options can support automation, complex measurement, and repetitive applications while eliminating the need for users to learn a new programming language.
“In addition to our CMMs and gauging products like the Revolution FlexGauge, we support programming, custom holding fixtures, tooling, automation, service, and support,” said Ayers. “In the current climate — with labor shortages and long lead times for new and leased equipment — companies need a reliable service provider that can respond quickly.”
