QVI TurnCheckTM Series-10 systems o er a fast, easy way to measure shafts, cylinders and other turned, ground or extruded parts. Just place the part and press GO. TurnCheck Series-10 systems are precision optical measuring instruments designed for shop oor environments. TurnCheck systems are rugged and reliable, accommodating parts up to 180 mm diameter by 800 mm in length. TurnCheck will scan and measure a part in seconds using its telecentric, large eld of view optical system. With 100 mm wide eld of view and vertical range of 400, 600 or 800 mm, TurnCheck Series-10 systems can handle just about any turned or ground part. TurnCheck software allows easy measurement of diameters, lengths, distances, angles, radii, form, position, cylindricity, and runout – and can output point data for external analysis.

Features:

  • Completely telecentric, large eld of view optical system
  • 100 mm maximum diameter and vertical range of 400, 600, or 800 mm
  • TurnCheck easily measures all critical dimensions of turned parts, from simple lengths and diameters to advanced pro le tting and form

A Rugged Design That Is Easy To Use

The movable tailstock assembly is designed to be easily operated with one hand for precision mechanical alignment of the workpiece. An optional live tailstock can be built into the base assembly, minimizing the cost of tooling for different size parts. Additional optional workholding kits that t into the spindle accommodate workpieces that do not have centers.

Integral Calibration & Thermal Compensation

Calibrating TurnCheck systems is simple. Just load the calibration master onto the machine and the system software does the rest. A complete calibration requires just a few minutes. As a system check, a master ring gage mounted to the spindle is measured at the start of each vertical scan. This check is part of the integral thermal compensation system that works to minimize the adverse effects of temperature variations on measurement accuracy.

Advanced Optics Make the Difference

TurnCheck Series-10 optics are designed to produce distortion-free images of any part over the full 100 mm field of view. The optics produce a truly telecentric image, preventing all stray light that could in uence measurements from entering the optical system. The illumination optics are carefully matched to the imaging optics to supply highly collimated light for nearly perfect back lighting of the workpiece.

Powerful Software

TurnCheck system software o ers advanced image analysis technology for high speed optical measurement. Automatic feature extraction immediately nds and measures all part features in a single scan. With vertical scans at speeds up to 100 mm/sec, TurnCheck offers fast and precise measurement of known and unknown parts without programming or a CAD model. TurnCheck o ers integral GD&T and best- tting, and can output all point data for external analysis or reverse engineering.

Rigid Body Design

The base unit of all FlexPoint Floor Model Series systems are made of massive granite members for thermal stability, load carrying capacity, and vibration isolation. All moving structures are made from either cast aluminum or extruded aluminum to provide rigidity for a wide range of sensor options and high speed motion. A wide bearing stance and air bearings on all axes ensure motion stability for repeatable positioning.

True Multisensor Advantage

FlexPoint systems support a large range of tactile and non-contact sensors: TP20, TP200, and SP25 contact and scanning sensors TeleStar® Probe and Line Scan Laser sensors Rainbow ProbeTM white light sensor.

QVI Video sensor

The unique QVI VersaFlexTM multisensor head introduces the concept of up to three simultaneously available sensors on one articulating probe head. Overhead time for exchanging and recalibrating sensors is eliminated with this arrangement.

Full Measuring Range

Careful design has enabled larger travel in a smaller footprint. The drive-side upright features a cast-in pocket, and the outboard leg is offset from the quill. These designs provide clearance for an articulating probe head to position on all sides of a part, maximizing measurement range within the compact footprint.

Thermal Compensation

Data is constantly fed to a thermal compensation system to ensure high accuracy, even in shop floor environments with significant thermal variation.

Powerful ZONE3 Software

QVI ZONE3® 3D-CAD based metrology software provides complete flexibility for multisensor measurements. An entirely graphical user interface, visual validation for every step, and graphical reporting make ZONE3 the easiest and most intuitive 3D metrology software available.  FlexPoint Floor Model Systems are offered in three base configurations, each with a choice of Y-axis range, to suit a wide variety of manufacturing needs.
