)TOR PANELS (Coventry) has installed a Cordax measurement )cessor which will greatly reduce the time taken to check proto)e and production cabs.
Ehe time savings have been iieved primarily in setting up cabs for evaluation. The xedure which took up to ee days to site the cab on the asuring table is now reduced 15 minutes using a "random ilacement" procedure.
'he new system includes measurement pre-processor iched to the three-dimensionneasuring machine which is, turn, linked to a computer/ Ver.
The working eye of the chine is a three-dimensional touch trigger probe which transmits information back to the operator via the computer.
This information is verified, visually displayed and then printed by the computer, thus overcoming human error in dimensional interpretation.
The system will be used to check prototypes and also production cabs with the latter being checked on a 12-week programmed audit cycle.
Motor Panels has invested more than £50,000 in order to incorporate the system.
