AllTube Engineering: Technological innovation to improve product quality (Part 2)

Besides the support from management systems, technological innovation has also contributed significantly to the success of AllTube Engineering.

The first in the transition was to refresh the racking system and rearrange the production area. The racking system with an independent steel structure with dimensions of 6m x 3m x 2.5m has significantly freed up factory floor space, enabling the company to arrange old equipment in appropriate locations, copper. time to add new equipment to prepare for the transition.

Once everything was ready, the management of AllTube Engineering allowed Faro QuantumE ScanArm – an integrated measuring machining equipment, to be put into operation. This is the leading portable coordinate measuring machine (PCMM) that allows manufacturers to easily verify product quality by performing accurate 3D inspection, tool certification, CAD comparison, analysis Raw and precise reverse test techniques.

With the probe equipped with FaroBlu Laser Line technology, the measurement problem can be solved with almost all AllTube orders. Faro ScanArm offers optimal machining efficiency and is also easier to use for company employees.

In addition, Faro ScanArm is also capable of connecting to a CNC machine to provide a comprehensive reference to customers. In particular, the QuantumE FaroArm FaroBlu LLP complex is capable of both contact and non-contact measurements using ScanArm’s advanced 3D laser scanning capabilities. It is known that through the application of Faro ScanArm, the company’s inventory time has been reduced by 90%, while the quality of pipe products is still guaranteed.

 “Since using QuantumE, in addition to being used in product testing processes, we have found many other uses, such as the application of reverse precision testing”, said Mr.Fuller.

For less complicated orders, AllTube uses a fixed coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to test its products and report quality to customers. Although the size and shape of the large pipe products produced by the company are predetermined, normal probe measurement techniques cannot be used in the process. “Because using cumbersome physical measuring equipment to test hard pipes is time consuming, a non-contact measuring system like CMM is what we need”, said Mr.Fuller.

If QuantumE’s advantages are portable and quick to set up, the advantage of CMM is to measure parameters accurately with high stability. Each of these devices plays a role in the new system of AllTube Engineering. Faced with the fact that the competitive environment is becoming increasingly harsh, the transformation of technology and the application of management systems is a necessary step for AllTube in particular and the mechanical processing industry in general.
