 | Vectro automates the advanced non-contact feature measurement capabilities of the GapGun Pro Third Dimension’s bestselling handheld laser measurement system. It’s simple and fast, delivering increased levels of repeatability and excellent returns on investment. - For fast throughput of production quality checks - For high precision break sharp edge applications - For offline metrology testing or research and development |
REDUCE COSTS, IMPROVE QUALITY AND INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY
Vectro improves productivity, enables greater throughput, cuts inspection cost and reduces rework. All of this with the added benefi of improved quality
Fast and efficiency
Vectro measures quickly and automatically, allowing more to be manufactured every hour, without sacrificing quality.
Accurate, repeatable and reliable
Consistent positioning with fixtured or robotically guided measurements eliminates human error and ensures accurate results every time. VChange sensor heads come with full calibration certificates, traceability and a 2 year warranty.
Automatic manufacturing decisions
Vectro automates checking of parts against their dimensional specification with real-time go/no-go decisions, or statistical analysis
Modular and versatile
Vectro is compatible with the full range of VChange sensor heads, allowing the measurement of a diverse range of feature shapes, sizes and surface types.
Easy to integrate
Vectro can be built into any application with Third Dimension’s easy-to-use Link integration software. Simple commands trigger measurements and retrieve results, leaving more time to focus on the production process.
Dynamic user interface
The Vectro display presents live profile information and measured values, making it even easier to focus on improving the quality of products
