Manually rethought
The shorter the reaction time, the lower the amount of potentially produced rejects. The fully automated density measurement system from Dimensionics Density GmbH enables reproducible, highly accurate measurement primarily by:
- Exclusion of human influence factors by means of fully automated component handling
- Recording of all relevant environmental factors (water and air temperature, ambient pressure, air humidity)
- Avoidance of external disturbances (vibrations, air circulation, heat radiation) through enclosure and mechanical decoupling.
- Maintaining constant measuring conditions during wet weighing by regulating the level and an automated liquid change.
The elimination of human influence is the greatest advantage of automated density determination. As an alternative to the manual Archimedes method, micrographs and micro-CT are used to examine the components. Both systems have advantages and disadvantages. For a detailed examination of the internal structure of a green part, both methods are suitable. For optimised process monitoring and rapid parameterisation of tools, both methods are too time-consuming and also tie up valuable personnel resources.
The ability to react quickly and economically in a production process is only possible by integrating the test method into the production environment. The Dimensionics Density platform is based on the Archimedean principle, but overcomes the disadvantages of typical laboratory density determination technologies based on the Archimedean principle and develops a solution that really measures density and does so directly in production.
