Instruments and EquipmentInstruments and equipment play an important role in the production and quality control of castings. We will perform precise measurement, inspection and analysis on castings to ensure the quality, dimensional accuracy and surface condition of castings.
We use spectrometers to analyze the composition of castings, especially metal castings. It determines the content of different elements by measuring the spectral lines emitted by the substance. Control the alloy composition in the casting process to meet the material design requirements.
X-ray flaw detectors are used for non-destructive detection of defects such as pores, cracks or inclusions inside castings. X-rays can penetrate castings and display different images according to the different density of materials, which helps to evaluate the intrinsic quality of castings.
Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) accurately measure the geometry, size, position, etc. of castings by contacting or scanning the casting surface with a probe. It is suitable for castings with high precision requirements, can provide three-dimensional coordinate data, and inspect the casting size to meet the design specifications.
Optical measuring machines (OVGs) use optical principles to perform high-precision surface measurements, especially for small and complex-shaped castings. It is usually used to check the surface morphology, size and geometric errors, and can perform fast and high-precision inspection of castings.
Surface roughness meters and profile projectors are used to detect the roughness of casting surfaces. Surface quality directly affects the performance and appearance of castings, especially in high-precision mechanical parts. Roughness meters can quantify the microscopic unevenness of the surface, while profile projectors are used to evaluate the details of the surface profile.
Measuring microscopes are mainly used for microstructural analysis of castings. They can provide very high magnifications and are suitable for inspecting details of castings, such as grain structure, defect location, etc., to help evaluate the organization and performance of materials.
Portable 3D scanners are used to quickly obtain three-dimensional data of castings and are suitable for castings of complex shapes. Scanning can generate a three-dimensional model of the casting, and reverse engineering, assembly analysis or precision comparison can be performed.
We use the above equipment to detect the quality of castings, and gradually shift from traditional manual inspection to intelligent, automated and digital development. We will further improve the inspection efficiency and realize real-time monitoring and data analysis by combining these devices.
