Hollywood, for example, used it for the film “The Core”. In sports, “core training” means the training of the central body part, in physics “core” is the most important part of a nuclear reactor in which the chain reaction takes place. No matter what we have looked at so far, they all have one thing in common: it is about the innermost, the central part.

 

In addition to measurements in the measuring room, it is now important to move metrology into the production area close to the processing machines in order to be able to react quickly to deviations. With this in mind, WENZEL’s CORE product range was developed for the central part of a production plant - the quality of the products. No matter whether the measurement is carried out directly after production or during post-processing within the maintenance cycle at a later point in time, the CORE is the appropriate coordinate measuring machine for this. The measuring machine can be used directly in the production area and measure the relevant characteristics. It is possible to measure on almost all surfaces, whether shot peened, lacquered, polished or matt. Due to the unique optical sensors of the CORE product line it is possible to measure all these surfaces.

 

 

Some may now think that optical sensors cannot measure everything. That’s right, every technology has its limits. For this reason, WENZEL has developed a hybrid sensor that combines the characteristics of optics and tactile sensors and is outstanding in this regard, but not only are the sensors to be emphasized here, also the machine itself impresses with its small space requirement in comparison to similar measuring machines. The CORE product range is also characterized by its incredible flexibility. Depending on the model, the CORE can be equipped with 6 axes and a measuring turntable. This combination allows almost unrestricted access to the components in order to measure as many features as possible in a single operation without re-clamping. This measurement is not done in hours, days or weeks, no, the development of the CORE product line has been designed to measure within the cycle time of production. Fast measurements can be achieved as a result of high acceleration of the individual axes. yet the accuracy is not overlooked, resulting in the best possible relationship between measurement time and accuracy. In addition, the CORE product range can also be integrated into a fully automated production line. Whether using a robot or an automatic feeding system- with the CORE, WENZEL can make real almost any automation.

 

What would a measuring machine be today without the right software. It would probably only function in a limited way. For this reason the CORE is now available with the well-known WM | Quartis software from WENZEL.

 

 

The areas of application for CORE are wide. For example, turbine blades from the aerospace industry or industrial gas turbines can be inspected. In medical technology, joints and prostheses can also be measured, as can components from other diverse markets. Small, medium and large components with a length of more than 2m can be measured with the CORE product range. No matter whether you want to check the quality of your products directly after manufacture or at a later point in time, CORE will not let you down. Do not leave the quality of your products to chance, but entrust this important central part of the CORE to WENZEL.
