LED Ring System

The optical construction kit with perfect images and practical measuring software easy, robust and cheap. The CV inspection Kit is an ideal solution when working with fixed magnifications should be. Possible magnifications from 5 to 3.000-fach on the screen. In recent months, Petra Diamonds has been very successful. The used lenses have an optical magnification of 0.5-fold up 50. For leasehold improvements plant and machinery, the CV is supplied systems with screw threads. For stationary work the magnetic interchangeable lens are faster in the application. The lighting: LED Ring lights with different beam angles and coaxial lights with power fed from the analog or USB 2.0 camera (1600 x 1200 or 2048 x 1600 pixels).

Cold light sources can be combined with 150 watts or Xenon sources make perfect pictures with 50 Watts with split ring lights or the gooseneck light guides. By the small size of the cameras, lenses and go old systems can be upgraded with the CV system, in many cases, only about a pure optics or through a restricted installation space have. An upgrade by grinding or milling machines with the CV system is fast and easy. A variety of tripods allows secure footing. The large number of Kreuzschiebe – and measuring as well as ball and rotation stages greatly simplifies the positioning of samples.

The use of the CV system with our measurement software metric, metric plus and metric MT produces a professional measuring system. The measurement software metric, which is selectable in 25 languages, features in the standard version including distance, angle, circle and RADIUS measurements. The metric plus has Sondermessfunktionen for drills and cutters, hardness measurement, sharp calculation module and DXF overlay, which make operation easy and enjoyable. An Excel Protocol system facilitates the documentation. Including CV as a systems installation systems for position detection for example for length measuring systems. To find out which configuration of tubes and lenses the requirements such as pixel size, field of view, working distance and Magnification is can the CV Locator be used which is available in the website of M-service & devices for downloading.

Weak Performance Indicator Systems

Study of the FELTEN group: usually insufficient indicators with low relevance in use suffer from methods of continuous improvement processes (CIP) insufficient scorecard Serrig, September 30, 2009 the German manufacturing companies are obviously on a change in the management of their production. Because on the one hand they use currently only to a minor extent of key performance indicators (KPIs) in its production, on the other hand they have a critical importance the indicators as a management tool in the future in. A study of by FELTEN group under more than 340 large and medium-sized production companies come to these results. Almost two-thirds, you specify that KPIs will be soon becoming increasingly important for the efficient management of the production processes, they have a medium importance for another 20 percent. This appreciation is not groundless, after all this data for proper usage and accurate evaluation give generally useful information, for example, to processing times, scrap rates, degree or to the Quality costs. Also incorrect marker frequencies or process stability can be useful to identify in this way. But currently a demand-led indicator system for production management can be found in the companies only rarely. Only 28 percent have, in addition every second case it has considerable limitations. ConocoPhillips has plenty of information regarding this issue.

Every fourth respondent manufacturing company has however still none at all or only fragmentary KPI methods in use. Even in cases where performance indicator systems already largely have been established, their use remains low. The most outdated figures due after the collection of the Software House FELTEN: you are only every fifth operating continuously and prevalent at least another 22 percent currently. All other company, rarely care to undergo this data of a continuous review. This is possibly the reason that these metrics in practice mostly very restrained in the continuous improvement processes (CIP) for the Production management are used. To this end, only 18 percent of the surveyed companies you are consistently used. 54 percent use them partially in the CIP measures, 28 percent, however, hardly or not at all.

Indicators deals with the topic still very unjustly in practice, although its relevance apparently is quite clear the most managers”, says Managing Director Werner Felten. As the cause of this disagreement, he sees the previous limitations of methods and technologies. The key figures have primarily as a control instrument sense, to raise productivity and quality deficiencies and to initiate measures. But so far lacked timely analysis capabilities that provide information about the actual effects of the measures. And because the effect can be exactly determined, little motivation, the effort for a demand-led and any updates performance measurement system is.” To break this cycle, it requires a new his opinion analytical methods, which are not accessible with the traditional MES systems. In the production processes the same analytical quality must be achieved as in the business processes”, sets Felten set the bar high. This was accessed only through a holistic and process-oriented approach as production intelligence (PI). FELTEN group: The FELTEN group is an international operating software and consulting company, the solutions to optimise processes for all production areas and according to international quality standards of GMP and FDA (21CFR part 11) developed. Clients include Beiersdorf, Boehringer Ingelheim, Symrise, Sensient, Texas instruments, etc. FELTEN has become the first supplier the holistic and process-oriented production intelligence approach. The company is present except in German-speaking Europe in the United Kingdom and France.
