SORALUCE VSET

SORALUCE VSET is used to measure and align raw parts before machining.

The clou is that the workpiece measurement and the overstock control to ensure the quality of the workpiece, which is carried out simultaneously, take place outside the machine. This is made possible by a specially developed photogrammetry technology and practice-oriented evaluation software.

The system provides an accuracy of 0.05 mm for the first meter of the workpiece length. For each additional meter, 0.02 mm are added. For a component with a length of 10 m, the tolerance is therefore 0.23 mm only.

SORALUCE VSET is a cost-effective and precise measuring system, which allows enormous time savings for the alignment of large blanks of up to 70%. The resulting shorter downtimes and the quality validation of the raw part outside the machine offers customers a considerable increase in productivity of the machine.

In addition, the system impresses with its application as well as ease of use, and does not require an experienced measuring technician, even for complex workpieces.
