A REVOLUTIONARY STEP IN LASER MEASUREMENT

The new GapGun 6, a handheld and robotic laser measurement system

The new GapGun 6 is a non contact laser measurement system capable of a wide variety of profile measurements. The system has a repeatable accuracy of 0.01mm and a measurement cycle of just one second. With greatly improved speed, ease of use, portability, accuracy and ruggedness, GapGun 6 measures gap and flush, radius, edge break, burr, countersink, scratch, weld, seal, angle and more, as the ultimate quality inspection tool. Proven technology, used worldwide by most major automotive and aerospace OEMs.

VChange allows the operator to remove, swap and reattach sensor heads, in just seconds, making multiple sensor use on the shop floor easier than ever before. This technology enables the operator to use the most suitable sensor for the job. Without stalling the process.

A solution for every industry

The GapGun 6 has proven itself in a wide variety of industries

Automotive

The GapGun 6 is an accurate and repeatable gap and flush measurement system for any and all panels on a vehicle. For both interior, exterior and on any type of material. It is able to measure the most complex surfaces, quickly, easily and repeatably. GapGun 6 will pass MSA requirements, where other techniques and solutions typically fail. With its highly flexible and powerful software GapGun 6 is able to measure most complex surfaces.

Aerospace

The dimensions of fasteners are key to the structural safety of the aircraft and to fuel efficiency by reducing drag or making surfaces aerodynamically efficient. In the production of aircraft, the size of rivets and fastener holes needs to be consistent and measurable. GapGun 6 effortlessly measures countersinks, panel and door fitting, turbine blades, machined engine parts, wing leading edges, fasteners and more.

Energy

Metrology needs in the Energy market are growing due to renewal growth with electric cars, battery manufacturing and wind turbine blades. GapGun 6 offers a perfect, repeatable and accurate solution to manage those challenges. For the past ten years, the GapGun 6 has been used by the UKAEA Remote Applications in Challenging Environments department to facilitate the development of nuclear fusion by speeding up MRO processes of the world’s largest experimental reactor.

Industry

Within the industrial sector the GapGun 6 guarantees quality and consistency during the production process. Quality inspection speed can be increased greatly when combined with Vectro. Measurement are needed in a wide range of industries such as complex machines, electronic components, whitegoods and medical manufacturing processes. GapGun 6 offers flexibility of usage and the versatility and precision needed in these varying applications.
