Overview: This document provides a comprehensive guide for integrating GapGun and Vectro tools into production systems to enhance manufacturing and quality decision-making. It outlines the compatibility, system requirements, and functionalities of these tools, along with sample applications and integration strategies.
Specifications: The toolkit supports Vectro, GapGun Pro, and GapGun MX+ with system software V7. It is compatible with any VChange sensor head and operates on Windows 7 & 10. Programming can be done in any .net language, including C# and VB.Net.
API Functions: The API allows for network discovery of GapGuns and Vectros, reading status information, sending work orders, making measurements, receiving results, exporting data in custom formats, and processing point cloud data. A full demo with source code in C# is available.
Integration Applications:- Measurement Database Integration: Measurement requirements and results are stored in customer data systems, with automatic data transfer facilitated by a custom Link application.
- Robot Integration: Vectro is used in a fixed position with a robot moving parts for measurement, controlled by a custom Link application.
- Real-time Data Capture: GapGuns capture and display real-time production data, with results relayed to customer data systems via a custom Link application.
- Barcode Integration: Measurement plans are selected via barcode scanning, with results outputted in a custom file format for quality control systems.
Recommendations: The document suggests designing processes to meet specific requirements, collecting more data with less operator training, deploying instructions centrally, speeding up data analysis, and automating data distribution.
