Robot-Loaded Breakaway Pedestal Gage Meets Measurement Challenge

As central robotic servicing of machining cells has become more prevalent, it has created the need to develop a gaging system that will inspect the parts for a critical feature or two after the machining operation, and keep the machining process under control at the same time. Edmunds Gages' new Robot-Loaded Breakaway Pedestal Gage meets this challenge.

The breakaway post-process pedestal gage was designed to address both issues of measurement and process control. The gage can be loaded by a robot or gantry, and can sustain the increased volumes that cells provide. Part measurement is significantly faster than the machining process, allowing the robot to load the gage, measure the part, unload the part from the gage and deposit it accordingly, before the next part is cut in the machine tool.

The entire operation sequence of the breakaway pedestal gage is very fast. Measuring 600 gear blanks an hour, for example, is typical. Edmunds' customers who have incorporated this gage into their machining operations experience increased production volume, less scrap, increased tool life, and increased labor efficiency, all significant benefits in the production process.
