Deployment where it matters: Whether in the measurement laboratory or on the production line

Metrology is increasingly shifting from traditional measurement laboratories to automated measuring stations located directly on the production line. This shift allows for in-line or post-line measurement of components, providing a crucial advantage: early error detection and avoidance of costly rework.
Your manufacturing challenges:

  • Inefficient manual measurement processes leading to long downtimes.
  • The risk of human errors affecting product quality.
  • High effort in transporting and re-setting workpieces between production and the measurement room.

pL LEHMANN® Metrology: Precision without Compromise

Our precision heavy-duty rotary tables are not only designed for machining but also specifically developed for metrology. Thanks to a backlash-free drive and 4-fold spindle bearing, they guarantee high long-term accuracy and maximum rigidity. These features make our CNC rotary tables a stable foundation for your measuring instruments, enabling them to work even more efficiently. .

  • Measurements directly in production: Your components can be measured in-line or post-line, without the laborious trip to the measurement laboratory.
  • Excellent rigidity and accuracy: Our robust 4-way spindle bearing guarantees the necessary rigidity and precision for demanding measuring tasks.
  • No pan/tilt switch required: By rotating the workpiece, it can be brought into the correct position, allowing for flexible and efficient measurement.

The whole system is now complemented by our Micro-Line rotary tables, which are ideally suited for multi-sensor coordinate measuring machines and contour measuring stations.

pL LEHMANN® Modular Concept: The Basis for Automated Processes

Metrology

All common clamping devices for machine tools can be used thanks to the modular design. Anything from rotary unions and clamping cylinders to E-chucks is possible. A key aspect of process automation is ensuring a constant zero point. When using a zero-point clamping system, it is ensured that the zero point is directly transferred from production to measurement without the need for complex re-alignment.

This approach offers you crucial advantages:

  • Same interface as in production The zero point is taken directly from manufacturing for measurement.
  • Process acceleration The overall process is significantly shortened, and process costs are considerably reduced as complex re-setting is eliminated.
  • Full process chain The system can be used throughout, from preparation and 3D printing to post-processing such as machining and measuring.

Questions and Answers

Metrology

Can an existing measuring device be expanded with a positioning axis?
Yes, the Q-line from pL Lehmann is ideal for this. Simple connection via USB using DLL drivers. They offer 1-axis and 2-axis systems, as well as a heavy-duty version with a spindle load of up to 120kg.
Is there a positioning axis that can be connected and operated via USB?
Yes, here is the measurement technology solution from pL LEHMANN. Directly usable as a Q-Line for the end customer or easily integrated via DLL for the OEM.
Can a CNC rotary axis with a rotary joint be used in measurement technology?
Yes, pL LEHMANN offers the possibility here with its Q-Line and its Heavy Duty version to use rotary joints, clamping cylinders, as well as electrical clamping systems such as the E-Chuck from Maprox.
Can a CNC rotary axis be easily loaded by a robot?
Yes, pL LEHMANN offers various options with its Q-Line, such as rotary joints, clamping cylinders, or electric clamping systems like the E-Chuck from Maprox.
Is there a CNC rotary axis for metrology that can move workpieces over 20 kg?
Yes, pL LEHMANN's rotary axes can move loads up to 120 kg.
