The process of removing sharp edges or corners, known as break sharp edge (BSE), is common in manufacturing. BSE ensures safety during handling, assembly, and use of parts. The GapGun facilitates BSE inspection by characterizing properties such as radius, length and angle, and can also incorporate dimensional tolerances.
Operators can instantly characterize all of the required edge breaks properties on the shop floor, without the need for multiple different devices. The GapGun’s high-resolution T15 sensor enables measurement of edge breaks that are a fraction of a millimeter, making it suitable for a wide range of components.
