Equator PRODUCT RANGE SHOPFLOOR SOLUTIONS Renishaw Equator POWERED BY WENZEL In the past, various measuring instruments were used corrections to the process for specific manufacturing to control manufacturing processes, e.g. Calipers, processes. By checking at more frequent intervals, the go/no-go gauges or bore gauges were used. The following occurs; A fast reaction to possible process Equator Gauge combines these measurements in one fluctuations. Almost independent of the production device. This independent inspection system offers environment, constant accuracy can be guaranteed in a good repeatable accuracy at an appropriate speed, a temperature range from 5°C to 50°C at a humidity with light weight and a high operability for manual and of 80%. The system is designed for ease of use, cost automated applications in production. For direct qual- reduction and improved process control through an ity assurance in the process, the Equator enables timely appropriate test system concept. FEATURES P 100 % testing at low cost P Increase measurement throughput & reduce labor costs through automation solution with Equator tester P Reduce scrap with real-time process monitoring functionality P Short cycle times due to versatility & high operating speed P Versatile due to high temperature range & many configuration options APPLICATION AREAS The Renishaw Equator powered by WENZEL is used wherever gauges, measuring rings, etc.have been used until now. By previous production of a master part on a CMM, in connection with the Equator, almost 100 % inspection of the manufactured components can be realized in time with the production cycle. Therefore you don’t even have to change the software, both the CMM and the Equator work with WM | Quartis from WENZEL. By loading measurement programs on the PC of the Equator, it is possible to select the corresponding program previously created on the CMM. 98
