3D Smart Sensors: Advantages of High Speed, High-Sensitivity Rubber and Tyre Inspection

3D Smart Sensors: Advantages of High Speed, High-Sensitivity Rubber and Tyre Inspection

Automated quality control in the rubber and tyre (R&T) industry requires a 3D machine vision solution with specialised features and capabilities. This is because R&T applications involve scanning low-contrast, dark materials with complex geometry at very high speed––something that can only be achieved using robust 3D sensor technology.

GR&R Compliance

The Importance of GR&R in Delivering High-Precision Measurement Systems - Part 2

The “Rule of Ten”* (or “one to ten”) is that the resolution of the measuring instrument should be ten times as precise as the tolerance to be measured. For example, if the tolerance is 0.1 mm, then the total of GR&R for the measurement system should be 0.01 mm or better.

GR&R Repeatability

The Importance of GR&R in Delivering High-Precision Measurement Systems - Part 1

In any industrial inline process, variation in the measurement system can cause problems such as rejected or defective products. One statistical tool that is used to test the variation of a measurement system and its ability to control the production process is called a Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility (GR&R) study.
