Industrial Applications

1. Precision Automotive Component Dimensional Audit

Inspecting cylindrical automotive parts, such as engine blocks, pistons, and crankshafts, requires high accuracy and non-destructive pressure to prevent workpiece deformation.

Problem Solved

The LH-600F solves manual measurement inconsistency and deformation risks by using a motorized 1 N measuring force and a highly repeatable 0.9 µm bore measurement capability.

2. Quality Assurance for Heavy Precision Molds and Die Platens

Moving physical measurement systems across large granite plates to audit heavy molds causes friction, base wear, and physical fatigue for quality control engineers.

Problem Solved

Its integrated air compressor provides an air-bearing flotation mechanism that supports the 26.1 kg unit, enabling effortless, friction-free movement while maintaining ±(1.1 + 0.6L/600) µm accuracy.

3. High-Volume Production Floor SPC Integration

Manually recording dimensions during high-speed batch manufacturing leads to critical transcription errors and delayed process control corrections.

Problem Solved

With a 50-program memory capacity and multiple high-speed interfaces like Digimatic S1, inspectors can run pre-programmed semi-automatic routines and export real-time values directly to local SPC systems.
