Seals and Hoses

When failure can be catastrophic, you need a seal to rely on

Seals are safety-critical components; whether O-rings, pneumatic seals or face seals, failure in use could be catastrophic. A manufacturer of seals has invested in 7 Starrett MVR300 video measuring systems from Optimax to meet their existing measurement requirement and support their expansion into the automotive market. The delicate nature of these seals dictates that only non-contact inspection/measurement can be used. The MVR300 is a manually operated vision system that can measure an entire part up to 50x38mm or using the stage motion measures parts up to 305mm.

A system for total stability, accuracy and compatibility

A system for total stability, accuracy and compatibility

The MVR300 is a manually operated vision system that can measure an entire part up to 50x38mm or using the stage motion measures parts up to 305mm and is ideally suited for individual measurements or short runs. It is available with dedicated 6.5:1 zoom optics or a quick-change bayonet lens mount which accepts zoom optics or telecentric lenses for micron-level resolution and accurate field-of-view (FOV) measurements. This system operated under MetLogix™ M3 FOV software under WindowsRsoftware. MVR hardware features include a granite base for maximum stability, precision recirculating ball linear guides for smooth, accurate stage motion, and a motorized Z-axis with variable speed control. The measuring software with its touch screen compatibility is easy to use and directional LED lighting gives strong edge definition even on soft seal edges. The system can be used on the shop floor by operators with knowledge of metrology.

Dr Andrew Johnson, Assistant Director, RandA

Optimax are a trusted partner! We have been working in partnership with Optimax for several years, to supply us with inspection solutions, service, and onsite calibration to UKAS standards. Their knowledge and expertise is exceptional, they provide honest, independent advice. Optimax are quick to provide options and solutions for our inspection requirements. They work hard to deliver a solution that 100% fits the application rather than just supplying a product. Optimax work with us to ensure we achieve our inspection objectives – they are one of the first companies I turn to.

Bruce Daggett, Senior Aerospace Weston, Inspection Team Leader

For over 14 years Optimax has been providing us with inspection equipment, service and most importantly expertise. We need suppliers that can go the extra mile in looking specifically at our application and then providing a suitable and sometimes bespoke solution, and this is where Optimax have really made a difference

John Harris, Director, Nevo Developments

Optimax have an extensive product range that was very attractive to us. They took the time to understand my requirements and align a solution that fitted into my manufacturing processes. They were very knowledgeable and friendly, I found the virtual demonstration extremely helpful. The outcome of the project has been very successful and performs above expectations. I would definitely recommend Optimax.
