KurtSPC Software using KurtLVDT Interface to capture data from
Air-Gage / Fixture by mounting LVDT Probes
Features

1
Can connect 4 LVDT Probes
2
LVDT Modules can be stacked to increase more probes connectivity to a single system.
I.e. 4, 8, 12, 16 probes, etc.
3
USB Interface
4
High speed data collection I.e. 250 - 300 / Second
5
Measure Size & ovality in 1 stroke which is precise due to high speed data collection
6
Draw Profile Chart
7
Measure Taper in 1 stroke from 2 or more probes readings
8
Static / Dynamic data collection
9
Customized screens
10
Keyboard shortcuts for operator ease
11
Automatic grading along with Data Collection on the basis of predifined Grading Sets for each Parameter
12
SQL Server Database Connectivity
13
Out of Specification / Out of Customer Limits/Control Limit alarms


Requirements

P-IV PC, 256 MB Ram, 40 GB Harddisk, Ethernet Card for Network
Windows 98 & above, USB Port
Air-Gauge / Fixture with Air Plugs, Setting Rings / Masters

Usage with Air-Gage







Profile Chart
Air-Gages are used when you have 10-40 Micron Tolerance.

Requirements


PFL type of Baker OR E-Jet type of Accurate.
Air-Plugs & Setting Rings / Masters.
Filters / Pressure Gage

Measure ID Dynamically

Instead of Dial, Probe is mounted on Air-Gage Transducer which is connected to LVDT Interface.
This System captures data at very high speed i.e 250-300 / Per Second. So if we want to measure ID of Bore, and Operator takes 4-5 second for 1 revolution of Air-Plug. Minimum value for Bore will be calculated from more than 1000 readings. System can also display ovality with Size. SPC Stats will be calculated for both the parameters individually.

All local Air-Gage supplies measure ovality from 2 points. Whereas in KurtSPC Software, ovality is measured from the travelled circumferance. This identifies smallest crack in part. System can display Profile Chart for a Particular measurement also.

Calibration / Remastering

Remastering is done in software it self using Air-Plugs & Masters. User can goto Remastering Window, Select particular probe and Enter Maximum & Minimum Master reading using Air-Plugs & Masters. All remastering info are stored along with SPC Data.

Gage R&R

Gage R&R are also a part of KurtSPC Software, and needs to be done at the same station. Short term / Long term / Machine Capability study can be done in software itself. All data are presented in a Graphical format with GAGE R&R Stats.


Usage with Fixture




Generally Fixtures are used to measure more than 1 parameter in 1 instance.

Requirements

Fixtures & Masters / Setting Rings

Measure Size Dynamically

Instead of Dial, Probe is mounted on the fixture which is connected to LVDT Interface. Probes can travel upto +/- 1 mm, again they come in various sizes. Shang dia of dial is same as of probes, so LVDT Probes can easily replace dials.

We can retrofit probes on your existing Fixtures or design a new fixture for you. System is smart enough to measure MIN / MAX / AVG from a set of readings in Dynamic Data Collection. Data collection is performed at very high speed 250-300 / Per Second. So final value is very precise. Again ovality is measured in the same instance for each probe individually.

Users can attach Attributes (Shift, Lot, Machine, Machine Operator, etc.) to each subgroups. They can also attach Error Codes / Assignable Causes. These details are used to draw a pareto chart.

System can calculate control limits on its own OR use the control limit defined by you. Every single change in control limits are noted and drawn in the graph.

System can calculate grading and automatically attach grade to subgroup based on predifined sets of grades for every single parameter. So you can have data for various grades and its SPC Stats seperately for the same parameter.

Calibration / Remastering

Remastering is done in the software itself using Fixture & Master.

GAGE R&R

Gage R&R are also a part of SPC Software, and needs to be done at the same station. Short term / Long term / Machine Capability study can be done in software itself. All data are presented in a Graphical format with GAGE R&R Stats.
