Automated Gauging is IMTS 2022 Highlight for New Scale Robotics
In booth demos and a conference session, New Scale applications specialists will help QC teams explore the benefits of using collaborative robots for gauging in high-mix manufacturing
New Scale Robotics will highlight its Q-Span® Automated Gauging System at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS 2022) Sept. 12-17 in Chicago. Continuous live demonstrations in the booth will show this flexible robotic workstation measuring parts and collecting the data using three common gauges. A Monday morning conference session will help QC teams explore how to get started and what benefits to expect from gauging automation.
New Scale Robotics is in Booth #135414, Quality Assurance Pavilion, East Building, Level 3
The Q-Span Workstation incorporates existing manual gauges and gauging techniques to automate QC inspection in high-mix, small-batch manufacturing. A collaborative robot from Universal Robots supports ease of deployment and flexibility. Control software and tooling by New Scale Robotics delivers ease of use for metrology labs and factory floor workers.

Conference Session: How to Get Started with Automation
A Monday morning conference session, led by New Scale Robotics' Stefan Friedrich, will detail how manufacturers can get started with QC automation, using collaborative robots to automate dimensional gauging. The session is recommended for managers in small to medium-sized manufacturing organizations; no prior automation experience is needed.

About New Scale Robotics
New Scale Robotics helps manufacturers automate manual gauging. Our Q-Span® Workstations combine measurements from a wide variety of gauges with robotic part handling and automated data logging. They improve efficiency, capacity, and real-time reporting of quality departments. Based on flexible and teachable collaborative robots, Q-Span Workstations are do-it-yourself (DIY) automation kits that fit into existing workflows. They help quality teams reduce errors, increase throughput, and better utilize skilled labor in small-batch, high-mix manufacturing. Easy to deploy without specialized training, they deliver return on investment (ROI) in less than ten months.

Our products feature unmatched miniaturization, micrometer-scale resolution, and fully-integrated microelectronics with intelligent firmware. We enable our customers to achieve higher performance with smaller size and faster development time.
Featured Product
Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
