Fields of application

Why are chamfers (edge breaks) measured at all or are they important?

In bevel measurement, the bevelled edges connecting two surfaces are measured. This profile characteristic, which occurs in the area of workpiece edges or bore edges, is particularly relevant for aircraft and vehicle components, engines, transmissions, bearings, shafts and other individual components.

In many cases, the measurement of sharp edges and chamfers is even of (safety) critical and important importance.

FasenMaster® measuring instruments are used in quality assurance and in production for the non-destructive measurement of chamfer lengths (edge distances / edge breakage) directly on site. Time-consuming and costly measurements with projectors and microscopes during production are a thing of the past.

This applies above all to manufacturers of turned and milled parts, which have a functional chamfer (e.g. due to tightness, fit, etc.), as well as manufacturers of plastic and ceramic parts (bearings, etc.). Our measuring instruments are also used with great success worldwide in the fields of dental technology, rod drawing, machining, tube and pipe construction.

Our customer base includes not only well-known international groups but also small and medium-sized companies from the automotive, rail, machine and plant engineering sectors, etc.

Due to continuous further development and optimization of the work steps, we have been able to expand and continuously expand our customer base since 2004.

Your advantages

• The essential advantage compared to other measuring methods and measuring machines is that measurements of chamfers (edge breaks) can be carried out non-destructively, simply, precisely and in seconds, i.e. without having to cut or destroy the measuring part.
  

• The measurement takes place directly at the production site.
  

• For the operation of the measuring device no training is necessary, so that each worker can carry out measurements independently.
  

• The measurements can also be carried out over several shifts, e.g. in 3-shift operation.
  

• The quality assurance personnel (QA department) is thus relieved of a great deal of work.
  

• Thus you have an enormous cost and time saving.
