Custom Measuring Systems & Automation
Develop a Mahr measurement configuration around a production requirement. Compare manual, semi-automatic, inline and OEM approaches when the task requires dedicated tooling, several measurement points or coordinated handling.
What can you measure?
Automated multi-feature inspection
Combine part location, measurement and handling into a defined inspection sequence. Agree the characteristics, cycle time and measurement-performance requirements.
Measurement data and process control
Associate measurement results with part identification and transfer them to quality or production systems. Define interfaces, result evaluation and any process-feedback functions.
Models and measurement options
| Model / option | Range or configuration | Selection notes |
|---|---|---|
| Manual measuring stations | Operator loading and measurement | Define locating, handling and the measurement steps. |
| Semi-automatic stations | Manual loading with automatic measurement | Define the measurement sequence and changeover requirements. |
| Fully automatic measuring cells | Integrated production inspection | Specify part feeding, identification and result handling. |
| OEM measurement modules | Measurement within a larger machine or line | Agree mechanical, electrical and data interfaces with the integrator. |
| SPC measuring stations | Grouped inspection tasks | Specify instruments, traceability, data capture and reporting. |
Ranges refer to specific variants or sets. Confirm the exact model, configuration and accessories with your quotation.
What to consider before choosing
Define acceptance
List features, tolerances and the acceptance method, with sample parts and drawings.
Map the cycle
Describe loading, cleaning, positioning, measurement, unloading and changeovers.
Agree integration
Define utilities, interfaces, traceability, result destinations and responsibilities.
Validate the solution
Agree demonstration parts, repeatability checks, cycle targets and acceptance evidence before finalising the specification.
Frequently asked questions
When should I request a custom measuring station?
Consider a dedicated station when standard instruments do not provide the required access, repeatability or inspection cycle, or when several checks must be combined. Send the drawing and describe the current inspection bottleneck.
Can the station be connected to our existing production line?
Provide the line layout, loading method, cycle target, utilities and required data interfaces. The proposal needs to define the measurement module, handling, part identification, result transfer and integration responsibilities.
What should be agreed before the system is built?
Agree the parts and features covered, tolerances, changeover requirements, cycle targets and reporting. Define the sample parts and acceptance checks that will demonstrate the measurement performance of the finished system.
