Solartron offers a wide variety of sensors for checking electronic components. This includes low tip force probes, skinny and short probes, non-contact laser, as well as specialized sensors for more difficult applications.
In the aerospace industry, an engine component such as a turbine blade is often cast, and then machined to the proper dimensions, via a CNC. To check specifications after the initial setup, the operator removes the blade from the CNC, then has it checked by a CMM in a Quality Lab. Depending on the workload for the CMM, the operator can wait for hours or in some cases a day to perform a check. This is costly, as the blades cannot be re-machined until the specifications are verified.
Solartron Metrology offers multiple ways in which to connect its sensors to PLCs and Automation components. With durable, rugged gauging probes it offers one of the best measurement solutions in the market.
