The Power of Precision: Mitutoyo Dial Indicators Integrated into BEHR Systems For years, manufacturers have relied on accurate measurement to ensure quality control and dimensional accuracy. But manual measurement is slow, prone to human error, and just isn't efficient in today’s fast-paced production environments. That's where BEHR and Mitutoyo come in. Mitutoyo dial indicators are the go-to choice for professionals who demand precision. They’re known for their robustness, accuracy, and ease of use. But it’s not just what they measure, it's how. Mitutoyo indicators provide clear, easily readable analog displays – a surprisingly important feature when operators are working quickly and under pressure. BEHR PROCESS LLC is now integrating these indicators directly into a range of automated inspection and measurement systems. This means that instead of a human operator manually checking dimensions, a BEHR-built system, equipped with a Mitutoyo dial indicator, can do it automatically, and with far greater consistency. What does this mean for manufacturers? Increased Accuracy: Eliminate human error and ensure consistent, repeatable measurements. Faster Inspection Times: Automate the inspection process and drastically reduce cycle times. Reduced Labor Costs: Free up skilled operators to focus on more complex tasks. Improved Product Quality: Catch defects early in the process and prevent costly rework. Data Collection & Analysis: BEHR’s systems can capture measurement data and provide valuable insights into process performance. Specific Applications – Where BEHR & Mitutoyo Shine So, where are we seeing the biggest impact? Here are just a few examples: Automotive Manufacturing: Checking the dimensions of critical engine components, ensuring proper fit and function. For example, a BEHR system incorporating a Mitutoyo dial indicator can quickly and accurately measure the diameter of piston rings, identifying out-of-spec parts before they reach assembly. Aerospace: Inspecting the complex geometry of aircraft parts, guaranteeing adherence to strict tolerances. Imagine a system automatically measuring the length and width of a wing spar, detecting even the smallest deviations from the blueprint. Medical Device Manufacturing: Validating the dimensions of precision medical components, ensuring patient safety and device efficacy. A system could be set up to measure the inner diameter of a hypodermic needle, guaranteeing accurate dosage delivery. General Machining: Checking the dimensions of machined parts, ensuring they meet customer specifications. From shafts and gears to housings and brackets, BEHR systems can automate the inspection of a wide range of parts. Beyond the Basics – Customization and Integration BEHR PROCESS LLC doesn’t just add a Mitutoyo dial indicator to a system; we integrate it. Our engineers work closely with customers to understand their specific requirements and develop a customized solution. This might involve: Custom Fixturing: Designing and building specialized fixtures to hold parts securely during measurement. Software Integration: Developing custom software to collect and analyze measurement data, providing real-time feedback to the production process. PLC Programming: Integrating the Mitutoyo dial indicator into the overall system control logic. Robotic Integration: Combining the dial indicator with a robotic arm to automate the measurement process. Looking Ahead BEHR PROCESS LLC and Mitutoyo are committed to pushing the boundaries of automation and precision measurement. We’re constantly exploring new technologies and developing innovative solutions to help manufacturers improve their processes and stay competitive. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Mitutoyo,” says [Insert Name/Title at BEHR]. “Their reputation for quality and accuracy aligns perfectly with our own commitment to delivering exceptional value to our customers.
