Q-buddy – Fully automatic quality inspection in production

The world's first Q-buddy^® is a highly efficient unit designed to perform a full quality inspection of mechanically machined precision parts directly at the production machine.

Operating personnel immediately receives a message should production parts deviate from a given warning limit. If such deviation exceeds the intervention limit, parts are automatically sorted out. Using an interface, the system production can be automatically stopped.

The operating principle of the system relies on a highly accurate measurement of the part weight. If the weight lies within narrow tolerances, we are most likely dealing with a stable and well-designed process, which thus produces precision parts with tolerances. To achieve high measurement quality, parts are automatically cleaned and dried in Q-buddy before weighing.
