API Systems: Contract Manufacturer

No project is the ever the same. For this reason flexibility is one of the most important characteristics in contract manufacturing. An optimal measurement system is needed - and this system needs to be universally applicable. In additional, it does not just depend on measuring the parts, the process chain already begins with measuring and aligning production machines.

For production machines: What does API have in comparison to others?

API´s Laser Interferometer XD Laser 5/6D offers you everything what is not possible with any other system. Contrary to conventional interferometers, which accomplish distance measurement by two linear shifted prisms the XD Laser 5/6D is developed on a single axles, so that the measurement accuracy can be increased with parallel measurements This means:

Up to six parameters can be measured at once, without the need of an individual set-up for each parameter
The XD-Laser-System measures axle greed, slope, linearity and plummet straight lines in one measurement procedure
You save up to two thirds on measurement time
You reduce the standing times of your machines
You avoid the influences caused by variations in temperature, as the measurements no longer drag over on day

For your parts: The API Laser Tracker

API´s Tracker3™ and Omnitrac™ with their weight of just 8.5 kg and height of 36 cm can be easily positioned, even inside a vacuum chamber. With heavier and larger devices it is clearly more difficult to capture measurements, since frequent position changes would be necessary.

It comes down to the details:
Due to steep angle inclinations which is attainable with API Trackers you can measure very near to your part and this proximity is again an important factor for the accuracy. API products cover the complete cycle in the process chain from machine inspection to part inspection. Here you will find a user story of Europe´s largest contract manufacturer using API systems.
