Quality

The Gilardoni X-ray test is a type of industrial X-ray inspection used for non-destructive testing of materials and components. This test uses X-rays to examine the structure inside an object, making it possible to detect defects or anomalies without having to dismantle or damage it.

The HEXAGON ARM 73.20 hand-held probe is a manual measuring instrument used to precisely detect the dimensions and shapes of mechanical components and parts. It lets the operator detect workpiece dimensions by touching specific points on the object with a probe.

Useful for:

• Cast quality check: used to check whether the parts
  produced meet the required dimensional specifications, noting
  deformations or errors.
• Tolerance check: to examine dimensional tolerances
  on parts made of cast iron, aluminium or other metallic materials used
  in the foundry.
• Speed and efficiency: lets the operator perform
  quick and accurate measurements directly next to the
  production machine.

The Automatic Probe for 2D measurement, unlike the manual one, can be integrated into an automated system and can operate autonomously, without direct operator intervention.

Useful for:

• Quality control of castings: for measuring cast and machined pieces, ensuring that they meet dimensional specifications. The measurements are repeated on several pieces quickly and uniformly.
• Verification of tolerances: to check that the dimensions fall within the established tolerances, helping to reduce waste and to improve quality.
• In-process measurement: used during the production process to perform immediate checks, acting on any errors before the machining of series of parts is completed.

Laser scanning for 3D measurements is an advanced measurement technology that uses a laser beam to precisely and thoroughly detect the three dimensional geometry of an object or surface. This technique is particularly useful for acquiring complex 3D data of manufactured parts, ensuring accurate quality control and dimensional conformity.

Advantages:

• High precision: provides extremely accurate measurements of complex surfaces, even on objects with typical irregular foundry shapes.
• Speed: It can acquire millions of points in seconds, making 3D scanning much faster than the traditional measuring devices, such as manual or automatic probes.
• Non-contact measurement: being a non-contact method, it is ideal for delicate materials or parts that must not be damaged during measurement. In foundries, scanning can be used directly on castings without requiring mechanical manipulations.
• Detailed 3d models: laser scanning creates a highly detailed three-dimensional model, which can be used for inspections, prototyping and reverse engineering.
• Versatility: suitable for a wide range of materials and surfaces, including rough metal surfaces, as well as on surfaces that are complex or difficult to measure by traditional methods.

The Quantometer is an analytical instrument used to determine the chemical composition of metals, including the verification of aluminium purity. Particularly useful for quick and precise analysis of the chemical composition of metal alloys, it makes it possible to check the quality of the cast metal and ensure that it meets the required specifications.
