PG Inspection Technologies

Are you interested in carbide rollers for your PG1000 concentricity fixture? Our rollers have always been made of high carbon steel but if there is enough interest we'll offer carbide replacement rollers or new fixtures with carbide rollers. Email [email protected] or reply to this post if you are interested in learning more about carbide roller availability.

If you are manufacturing or regrinding tools and DON'T have an optical inspection system consider this.... Optical cutting tool inspection systems are crucial for CNC cutting tool manufacturers for several reasons: 1.?????Precision and Accuracy: CNC tools must maintain high precision to ensure the quality of the parts they manufacture. Optical inspection systems allow for highly accurate measurements of the tool's geometry (PG1000 = +/-5 microns) , ensuring that even the smallest tolerances are met. This helps in producing parts with minimal deviation from the design specifications. 2.?????Quality Control: These systems enable real-time measurement of tool dimensions, shapes, and surface finishes (typically in under 30 seconds). With optical inspection, manufacturers can ensure that every tool meets stringent quality standards, reducing the risk of defective products reaching the customer. 3.?????Cost Reduction: By catching defects early in the manufacturing process, optical inspection systems reduce the likelihood of producing faulty or unusable tools. This lowers waste and the need for rework, leading to cost savings for manufacturers. What is the cost of losing a customer due to a defect that goes undetected? 4.?????Tool Life Studies: These systems can also help monitor tool wear over time, giving insights into when a tool might need to be replaced or re-sharpened. By tracking tool condition, manufacturers can optimize tool life and prevent production delays due to tool failure. 5.?????Compliance with Industry Standards: Many industries, such as aerospace, automotive, and medical, require tools to meet very strict dimensional tolerances and surface finishes. Optical inspection systems help manufacturers ensure compliance with these regulatory and industry-specific standards. 6.?????Better Data for R&D and Process Improvement: Optical inspection systems collect data that can be analyzed to improve the design and manufacturing processes. This data is valuable for continuous improvement, leading to better tool performance and innovation. In summary, optical cutting tool inspection systems enhance precision, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, making them an essential tool for CNC cutting tool manufacturers aiming for high-quality, reliable, and cost-efficient products. #PG1000

Are you familiar with the advantages of using a concentricity fixture with the PG1000? Watch this video to see how a concentricity fixture can make work holding easier AND allow you to quickly and accurately get rotational measurements: diameters, ball radius, taper, drill point angle, etc. #PG1000

We recently designed a custom broach holder for Pequot Tool and Manufacturing. They wanted a solution to inspect their broaches (which are up to 42"L) on their PG1000-400 inspection system. We have been designing custom workholding fixtures for the PG1000 since 1996. If you have any challenging workholding needs don't hesitate to contact us! #PG1000

Our PG1000 YouTube video library continues to grow! We recently added a new playlist for Reamer measurements to go alongside our Drill and End Mill playlists. Taps and Form Tools are coming soon... If you go to our YouTube page you'll see that we also have playlists that show the latest PG1000 hardware and software features as well as training videos. Please subscribe today! https://lnkd.in/gB3cHNsb #PG1000

PG1000 Shortcut Keyboards are now in stock (p/n 00087-2P). These can be used wired or wireless via Bluetooth. Clear the X, Y & Z data fields, rotate the crosshairs or move the crosshairs up/down/left/right. If you use our PG1000 software and use the encoder data fields you'll know why this keyboard can be a big time saver. E-mail [email protected] or call (262) 946-5420 for a price/quote.

WE ARE HIRING!!! We are looking for a Sales Manager and a Service Technician. Anyone interested in either of these roles should have significant experience in the cutting tool industry and will ideally have familiarity with our PG1000 cutting tool inspection system. Interested candidates should be in the Midwest or on the East Coast. These are full-time positions, but we'd also consider anyone interested in a part-time position if the fit was right. There will be traveling but also plenty of flexibility. Most importantly we want a 'customer-first' mentality. Please contact [email protected] if you, or anyone you know, may be interested in learning more about these positions.

Stop by and see us at IMTS in the west building booth # 432153! We'll have a couple PG1000 systems on display and available for demos. We are looking forward to seeing our customers, partners and future customers!!!
