The Modular Integrated Computer Aided Gaging System
Edmunds Gages introduces EPIC-CAG, the newest generation of multi-dimensional computer aided gaging, featuring modular components to integrate the most complex gaging applications into the manufacturing process.
Powerful
EPIC-CAG combines all the multi-dimensional measurement applications you can imagine, with the economic flexibility to select only the components you need. The powerful Windows® -based operating system enables EPIC-CAG to manipulate data from an unlimited number of inputs and display results in multiple formats. Once captured, EPICCAG transmits the data directly to production machines, cell controlled software or the customer’s in-house network. The real-time data allows for automatic adjustments and compensations, linking inspection control directly with the manufacturing process.
Versatile
EPIC-CAG quickly and accurately analyzes, displays and communicates measurement data from Edmunds’ LVDT probes, temperature probes, airto-electronic transducer devices and CCD vision gaging medians. Intuitive graphic options and multi-screen viewing allow the user to choose the appropriate graphic formats suited to the process function. With the integrated AutoCAD based graphic package, users have the option to create custom graphic display screens or, with the sequential photographic prompting module, users can quickly and easily decipher errors and their locations.
Flexible
EPIC-CAG’s modular design allows you to customize the components to fit your needs and your operations. The flexibility of the system permits you to add components as your business changes, ensuring you are investing in the applications you need, when you need them.
EPIC-CAG Advantages
- Unlimited Signal Conditioning- from Edmunds air, LVDT, or temperature transducers, beginning at, and expanding by multiples of four.
- Size Compensation -to one or multiple machine tools, in a variety of formats.
-
Precision Vision -software module for CCD camera
gaging median. - Temperature Compensation -making all measurements look like 68° F.
- Serial Inputs -capabilities to accept inputs from other devices.
- Size Verification -automated routines to confirm gage operation without calibration or mastering.
- Sort Classification -identify measurement results by number, letter, name, or from your designation.
- Dynamic Interruption Adjustment -erase or ignore keyways, holes or protrusions during dynamic rotation measurement using programmable variables.
- Expanded Mathematics Functions -use any higher math operator like y2, sin, cos, tan, in addition to add, subtract, multiply and divide, to create measurement algorithms.
-
AIAG GR&R -software to report the repeatability and
reproducibility of your gaging hardware is standard within the software. - Sequential Photo Prompting -create photographic work instructions to inform users where to measure which features of a part, and with what tool.
