We have made improvements on CAPTOR-S, our data adquisition system for dial indicators.

The first version that we presented you a few months ago, included in the CAPTOR-S PDA kit, enables to send the data measured by dial indicator to a PDA. From now on, a second option will be available for CAPTOR-S: send the data measured by dial indicator to a PC equipped with a Bluetooth receptor. This option is available with CAPTOR-S Win kit.

Both versions work with the same software that will enable you to:

• use the same kit with several checking fixtures
• create measurement programmes with customizable elements: control tolerances, correction factors, dial indicator sign, pictures of the checking fixture and of the control points, etc.
• collect the values measured by the dial indicator without having to write them down manually.
• calculate the Cpk of the series of part measured from the tenth part.
• save the measurement data with the date, time and name of the person who made the measurements thanks to the option of customizable user profiles.
• export the measurement data thanks to the customizable data export sheets. The data can be exported in .csv (Excel) or Qs-Stat formats.

The savings calculation table available on our website will enable you to calculate the time and money that you can save by using CAPTOR-S depending on the use you would like to give it (number of checking fixtures for which you will use your kit, use frequency, etc.).

For more information feel free to visit our website www.captorsystem.com or to contact us.

We present you CAPTOR-R, our new contactless 3D measurement system for parts made of all types of material, textures and brightnesses. CAPTOR-R can be used as much for the measurement of parts assemblies – control of gaps and flushes – as for the detection of parts components and fixations presence: tuckers, washers, holes, etc.

The main advantages of CAPTOR-R are its adaptability to your parts and its customizable features:

• Possibility to choose a different calculation algorithm for each measurement area
• Possibility to adjust the sensitiveness of the system to measure different materials with different colours, textures and brightness
• No modifications of your gauges: modifiable software
• Time-saving: you will get the results of your measurements in a few seconds
• Software and controls adapted to 2D drawing and dimensioning systems

Feel free to request a CAPTOR-R demonstration adapted to your part without obligation.

See examples and applications

• Control of positions of a gear lever
• Control of an exhaust pipe
• Control of a dashboard

You use checking fixtures with dial indicators, and you would like to be able to collect more quickly the data measured on each point? Writing down the values on a sheet of paper before entering them on an Excel sheet is long and has a risk of errors?

We are proud to present you our new product, CAPTOR-S, a wireless unit to collect data measured by dial indicator that can be used as much on your new checking fixtures as on your existing ones equipped with dial indicator bushings. The data are sent to a PDA that saves the data before transferring them to a CSV (Excel) file or to the Qs-Stat format.

The main advantages of this system are its fastness for data collection, its reliability as it prevents writing errors, and the obtaining of real time information about the measurements you are taking: tolerances, previous measurements, Cpk, etc. You will find more information about this system on www.captorsystem.com.
