Reducing Inspection Time: Best Practices with the CV-2100
Manufacturing facilities need to maintain a smooth balance between fast production schedules and strict quality control. When production speeds up, quality assurance teams must find ways to deliver highly accurate, repeatable measurements without slowing down production. By implementing efficient workplace practices and utilizing the advanced capabilities of the CONTRACER CV-2100 Contour Measuring System, facilities can significantly reduce cycle times while maintaining absolute measurement integrity.
Manually resetting the equipment for consecutive measurements can introduce cumulative delays into the quality control process. Front-panel controls, jog navigation, a quick-vertical stand, and automated sequences all add up to higher throughput without giving up accuracy.

Re-arrange Switches For Stylus Positions
The CV-2100 puts the stylus position change, measurement start/stop, and return switches on the front of the drive unit. With everything within reach, operators can run back-to-back scans with minimal movement.
Easy operation with X-axis jog shuttle
Total throughput depends on every phase of scanning: approach, retraction, and traverse. The CV-2100’s jog shuttle covers the entire measuring range, so you can move the drive unit to the measurement position or between feature points with ease.
It also enables faster X-axis movement and enhanced stylus up/down functions, returning the drive unit to the exact start position after the stylus auto-displaces. With a part program, multi-location measurement becomes a single-step operation.

Streamline Setup via Quick-Vertical Stands
CV-2100 comes equipped with a quick-vertical-motion stand drive unit that moves to and from the measurement height without pushing or pulling. The built-in stop lets you return to the correct height fast, so part changeovers take less time.
