VECTRO

Details

VECTRO DESIGNED FOR AUTOMATION

VERSATILE AND COMPATIBLE

Vectro works either robot mounted or in fixtured applications. The system includes a mounting plate that can be attached to your choice of robot.


FOR FAST THROUGHPUT OF PRODUCTION QUALITY CHECKS Vectro an sensor mounted on a robot arm move to nable measurement of a part.	FOR HIGH PRECISION BREAK SHARP EDGE APPLICATIONS Vectro and sensor mounted on a fixture, measuring a fixed part. Vectro and sensor mounted on a fixture, with a robot bringing the part to be measured.	FOR OFFLINE METROLOGY TESTING FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Vectro and sensor mounted in any fixtured or robotic configuration.

REDUCE COSTS, IMPROVE QUALITY AND INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY

Vectro improves productivity by enabling greater throughput, cutting inspection cost and reducing rework.
All of this with the added benefit of improved quality.

FAST AND EFFICIENT Vectro measures quickly and automatically, allowing more to be manufactured every hour, without sacrificing quality.	ACCURATE, REPEATABLE AND RELIABLE Consistent positioning with fixtured or robotically guided measurements eliminates human error and ensures accurate results every time. VChange sensors come with full calibration certificates, traceability and a 2 year warranty.	AUTOMATIC MANUFACTURING DECISIONS Vectro automates checking of parts against their dimensional specification with real-time go/no-go decisions, or statistical analysis.
MODULAR AND VERSATILE Vectro is compatible with the full range of VChange sensor heads, allowing the measurement of a diverse range of feature shapes, sizes and surface types.	EASY TO INTEGRATE Vectro can be built into any application with Third Dimension’s easy-to-use Link integration software. Simple commands trigger measurements and retrieve results, leaving more time to focus on the production process.	DYNAMIC USER INTERFACE The Vectro display presents live profile information and measured values, making it even easier to focus on improving the quality of products.
