AHD – Automatic Hole Detection
- Parameters for image processing can be configured individually
- Manual correction for hardly detectable or partially closed drill holes possible
- Automatic documentation of data for a consistent tracking of parts
Highlights
Customer Benefits
- Reduced cycle time for measuring and machining of parts by using only one setting
- Individual settings of acceptable deviations from target values (e.g. diameter) can be changed by the operator
- Retrofit with software extention possible (Existing software can still be used)
Left: Automatic detection and position compensation of round and elliptical drill holes / Right: Possibility for manual correction of hardly detectable or partially closed drill holes
