How long is a piece of string” goes the famous English-language saying. It may be a good answer when no obvious answer otherwise exists. But when it comes to measuring anything, getting the figures right is often a crucial part to any successful undertaking. We know this from experience: the history of engineering is littered with errors of all magnitudes – and regardless of the actual margin of error involved, outcomes can be costly. Very costly indeed.
Taking precise measurements is a well-documented human endeavor. Clay tablets dating from the late Babylonian period were excavated in Mesopotamia’s ancient cities. Some of these surviving tablets are known to have recorded various measures of weight, capacity and length. Fast-forward to the 21st century, and our measuring needs remain as important as they were to our early ancestors. For Japanese measuring specialist Keyence providing its customers with devices of the highest quality is a must. In a modern economy – an economy as competitive as today’s, striving to make the best measuring instruments is a key driver.
Keyence offers a wide range of measurement solutions that are used in various businesses where quality and repeatability are non-negotiable goals. The industry-leading image dimension measurement systems that the company is designing and manufacturing allow customers to perform the most accurate inspections at a level of speed that is unparalleled.
UK based Nema Ltd, manufacturer of motors, actuators and electromechanical assemblies, is a Keyence customer whose inspection requirements are of the highest level imaginable. Originally formed in 1954 under the name of The Nordale Spring Company, Nema has a long expertise with supplying a variety of markets – including the Aerospace, Defence, Marine and High Voltage Switchgear sectors.
In the early nineties the company gained an ISO 9001 accredited certification, which it continues to hold to this day. At the turn of the millennium, the company engaged a team of highly experienced engineers to develop and implement the successful manufacturing of a wide range of electric actuation products, specifically for the aerospace industry.
“The company has been under its present ownership since 1989” explains Andy Wilding, Managing Director at Nema. “Aiming for, and indeed maintaining, the highest possible standards is an absolute necessity for us. We were committed to investing heavily in our inspection facilities, and we had already identified areas where we felt improvements could be made.”
Companies involved in the aerospace industry face very stringent inspection requirements on a regular basis. These requirements can be time consuming, putting a bottleneck on production, reducing productivity and, ultimately, costing money. In some cases, they may even provide a barrier to dealing with some of the larger Tier 1 companies. With the Keyence IM Series, more accurate measurements can be made, and in a shorter space of time, eliminating bottlenecks and reducing costs.
Naturally, the management of Nema decided to take a closer look at Keyence measurement systems. “With new equipment and a controlled environment, we felt the IM Series by Keyence was a key device for us to acquire” continues Wilding. “In a nutshell: it matched our needs perfectly.”
The IM Series Image Dimension Measurement System purchased by Nema proved a game-changing acquisition. The device was selected because of its range of specialist measurement tools, its built-in dimensional reporting feature and its speed of measurement, among other criteria. These features all play a role in Nema’s design, development and repair of Electric Motors and Electro-Mechanical Assemblies.
The new image measurement system allows Nema personnel to measure more accurately than before. “This new Keyence device has proved essential to us in our efforts to continue to satisfy our varied customer base, which includes various Tier 1 aerospace companies” concludes Andy Wilding.
