New Levels of Accuracy Achieved With Fully Automated Non-Contact Measuring System

Boneham & Turner, a leading precision engineering company, has significantly improved its inspection process by investing in the Baty Venture FV 3020 from Bowers Group. Allowing for faster, more accurate batch inspections and maintaining tight tolerances, particularly in the measurement of micro pins, the implementation of the Baty Venture FV has boosted inspection speed whilst simultaneously increasing accuracy and repeatability.

Stacy Denton Beaumont, Group General Manager at Boneham & Turner said: “Many of our customers require parts to very intense specifications. Previously, we could only inspect a maximum batch of 5 micro pins at a time, but with the Baty Venture FV 3020 now we can check significantly larger quantities quickly and reliably, maintaining very tight tolerances. We’ve experienced higher levels of repeatability, a faster inspection process, and overall improvement in the quality of our parts. With the right equipment in place, we’ve reduced return rates and eliminated repeated inspection errors.”

As Boneham & Turner continued to grow and meet the increasingly stringent demands of its clients, the company faced challenges in its inspection processes. A key issue was the difficulty in inspecting micro pins, which could only be measured in batches of up to five. This limitation not only slowed down the workflow but also left room for potential errors during the inspection phase.

Faced with the growing need for higher precision and faster turnaround times, the company identified that inadequate inspection equipment had become a major bottleneck in its operations. This led to recurring errors and compromised both efficiency and consistency, highlighting the need for more reliable measurement solutions to maintain the high-quality standards expected by its clients.

To address these challenges, Boneham & Turner made a strategic investment in a range of high-precision measurement tools from Bowers Group. This included the new Baty Venture FV 3020, an instant, non-contact measuring system designed for precision inspection, offering fast and accurate measurement of complex components through advanced vision technology.

Introduced to improve in-process checks and final inspections, with a focus on critical components such as dowel pins, drill bushes, and shims, the Baty Venture FV 3020 has proven to be highly effective in streamlining Boneham & Turner’s batch inspection process.

The Baty Venture FV 3020 is a versatile, fully automated, non-contact measuring system designed for precision inspections. With advanced vision technology and easy-to-use software, it offers accurate measurements for complex components and geometries, making batch inspections more efficient across various materials.

Its user-friendly interface allowed the team at Boneham & Turner to quickly master its operation with the sophisticated vision measurement technology drastically improving the speed of inspections whilst maintaining the very highest standards of precision.  Its ability to quickly and accurately measure multiple complex geometries simultaneously has enabled the team to conduct batch inspections more efficiently, handling larger volumes while maintaining strict quality standards.

With high-magnification and advanced lighting, the Venture FV continues to deliver clear, reliable results, helping to significantly better part quality. It has also improved repeatability and streamlined the inspection process, leading to faster, more consistent outcomes and eliminating potential errors.
