Increasing capacity with the same number of machines means increased efficiency. It means optimizing production, just as Italy-based Bavieri Alfeo Precision Mechanics has done.

Using a Vicivision optical measuring machine, the company achieves accurate results in seconds in a digital data collection environment. Operators can see which values are close to the tolerance limit, make adjustments, and analyze the trend over time. VICIVISION provides valuable process data in real-time, allowing users to continue production without producing scrap.

The goal of a VICI machine is not just to measure, but to provide critical feedback to the machinists, thus avoiding costly scrap and downtime. The result is increased capacity with the same number of lathes or grinding while maintaining quality.

Bavieri Alfeo is a company that, for over 50 years, has been specializing in grinding, roll forming, and lapping. The company performs final operations on parts it receives from customers, and they check every 50 pieces out of every 100. Every operator who works in Bavieri can check how the grinders are running at any stage of production. The company has parts with diametric tolerances of less than .001", with roundness, cylindricity, and position callouts of two diameters machined simultaneously. The Vici vision systems does all this in 34 seconds, the company said.
