Innovative Technology from Capacitec Improves Gap Measurement with the Use of Capacitive Non-contact Gap Sensors
From globalspec.com

In the past, quality control, manufacturing engineering and set-up personnel have been using the traditional contact methods (plastic shims, feeler gauges, step gauges etc.) to measure gaps. These gaps were found in a wide variety of applications from attaching wings to Airbus aircraft and measuring the Fan Blade Tip Clearance of GE/Snecma Engines to setting gaps in the processes of metallurgy, coating, extrusion and laminating composite materials.

Due to the increased implementation of quality control methods such as Six Sigma, SPC and ISO 9000. Global companies such as General Electric, Ford and EDF are requiring the measurement, data capture and documentation of more and more measurements such as gaps in their manufacturing and assembly processes. Traditional gap measurement methods cannot meet the new quality requirements for accuracy and repeatability and are not able to automatically record and store data.

 


Products & Services
Polyurethane adhesives and sealants provide excellent flexibility, impact resistance, and durability. They are available in one-part or two-part adhesive systems.
Die cutting services use a variety of die cutting methods to fashion materials into predefined shapes or sizes.
Electrical and electromechanical assembly services provide board-level assembly, chassis and rack panel wiring, and front panel assembly. Typically, suppliers provide the complete turnkey production of electronic and electromechanical finished products from procurement through final assembly with testing and burn-in, if required.
Cyanoacrylate adhesives are one-part acrylate adhesives that cure instantly on contact with mated surfaces through a reaction with surface moisture. Cyanoacrylates are often called super glues. 
Tube bending and pipe bending services produce finished parts from tubes and pipes. They perform processes such as CNC bending, hydroforming, mandrel bending, ram bending, roll ending, heat bending, and sand packing.
