Measuring outer diameters is vital in manufacturing. Traditionally, skilled operators measured each part individually with micrometers, but human error and high labor requirements posed significant challenges. To address these issues, Ueno Singapore offers an automated measurement solution that combines Mitutoyo’s automatic micrometer control unit, Yamaha’s SCARA robots, and DH-Robotics’ electric grippers.

Manual measurements lead to inconsistencies, even with many operators.

The idea for this automated solution originated from a request by a customer in Malaysia. They faced the challenge of measuring hundreds to thousands of parts every day. Around ten operators were required on-site, with even more staff added during peak periods to keep up with demand. To address this, Ueno Singapore, in collaboration with Mitutoyo, Yamaha, and DH-Robotics, developed and implemented this automated measurement system.
