ORION WORKSTATION

The Orion Precision Measurement and SPC Workstation combines easy to use and interpret Statistical Process Control software with cutting edge measurement technology. The result is a high speed, reliable, turn-key inspection method, designed to be incorporated directly in the manufacturing cell. The Orion Workstation improves product yield and streamlines product flow by providing your machinist with valuable process data, without ever leaving the work cell.

What can Orion do for you?

Your company can expect to realize improvements in product yield and lead time, while also satisfying the continuous improvement and preventative action requirements of ISO9001 and other industry standards. Orion allows the machinist and engineers to take a proactive rather than a reactive approach to quality. The Orion Workstation was designed with moderate to high production volumes in mind, eliminating the need for final inspection and CMM which often become bottlenecks. The result is a high speed, reliable inspection method, designed to be incorporated directly onto the cell.


Visual control made easy

The Dual Monitor feature provides visual control over the inspection process by highlighting the location where specific measurements are taken, reducing the risk of misinterpretation. Operation instructions and other visual aids could also utilize the dual monitor option.


Interfaces

The Orion workstation already interfaces with a number of different electronic and digital measurement devices, giving it the flexibility your shop needs. These gauges include:

  • Pneumatic and spring actuated digital Probes
  • Linear Encoder
  • Laser
  • Force gauges
  • Machine vision systems
  • CMM’s
  • Any standard RS232 inspection gauge
  • (micrometers, height gauges, or calipers)
  • Infrared vision systems
  • Manual keyboard inputv
  • Customizable to your application

  • The pneumatic digital probes and linear encoders provide accurate and repeatable results within +/-.00005” or +/-1.27 microns. The software can also be customized to communicate with the other electronic measurement systems or work with keyboard or data input.

    SPC SOFTWARE


    The Orion SPC Advantage Software is the perfect complement to any Six Sigma or statistical quality control system. The heavy emphasis placed on Continuous Improvement throughout all manufacturing industries means more and more customers are requiring SPC programs from their supply chain in order to drive down costs. The Orion system is an effective and efficient way to bring SPC to the shop floor where it belongs.

    The software was built around the Lean Inspection process of the Orion Workstation, but can also be used with existing gauging or as a stand alone analysis package. No matter how you choose to incorporate the software, the Orion SPC Advantage will provide your team with the information they need to maintain a controlled manufacturing process.

    The software interface is visual, intuitive and simple to use. The current user interface is the result of 10 years of evolution and customer feedback in order to streamline the inspection and analysis process.
