The Problem:<\/strong>
\nGauging was performed using hand gauges, contact-type gauges, or some other less accurate indirect methods. Having no standard developed practice, workers at the plant were not taking reliable measurements.<\/p>\n

A non-contact method from another brand was once used, but did not prove reliable due to the varying quality of the surface condition from a dozen different metal suppliers. The customer then tried nuclear gauges which gave them limited success, but were too expensive.<\/p>\n

Implementing a highly invested gauging program was not in their plans because of the added cost and slower production.<\/p>\n

The Solution:<\/strong>
\nTheir application problem was solved by mounting a KEYENCE LK-G157 and LK-G37 directly over the mandrel measuring thickness accuracy to within 1\/10 of a mil.<\/p>\n

\"The

The dual-head LK-G37 would also be used for off-line gauging of sampled lots.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Achievement:<\/strong>
\nIn the past, the shipment got rejected whenever the metal was not within tolerance and the cost became insurmountable. Using the KEYENCE LK-G as an in-line non-contact measurement device made a big impact on the company\u2019s production quality and costs.<\/p>\n
