The original, groundbreaking handheld measurement

system, GapGun MX+ is used in hundreds of locations

across the world for portable, simple measurement of gap,

flush, seals, welds, radii and more.

Based upon Third Dimension’s proven sensor technology,

GapGun Robot+ offers all of the measurement capabilities

of GapGun and GapGun Edge Break+ in a fully

automatable format, making metrology assisted assembly

available to all manufacturers.

High speed, accurate and extremely flexible, GapGun

Edge Break+ provides precision shop floor measurement for

break edges, radii and chamfers, dramatically improving

inspection efficiency whilst providing user-friendly and

traceable data.

GapGun Robot+ components7 Key reasons to choose GapGun Robot+

1 immediate dimensional feedbackGapGun Robot+’s high speed data collection and processing means that you can obtain dimensional data on your parts in as little as a second, allowing high speed throughput and rapid decision making.

2 true non contactThird Dimension’s proven non-contact optical sensor technology means that inspection can be conducted without ever touching the part, eliminating the danger of damage and increasing repeatability of measurements.

3 Measure complex surfacesSPC3d, Third Dimension’s cutting edge inspection software allows highly complex surfaces to be measured quickly, easily and reliably every time. From complex gaps on free form surfaces to blended radii dimensions, GapGun Robot+ has a solution for a multitude of surface conditions.

4 Unify your inspection processesBased upon the same globally proven laser triangulation technology used in the full range of GapGun products, GapGun Robot+ can share measurement processes and configurations with all other GapGun products, ensuring that the same inspection technique is used by all processes plant wide.

5 one system, many measurementsThe flexible nature of GapGun Robot+ means that many different measurement types can be conducted by just one system, eliminating the need for multiple bespoke systems being used for different inspections.

6 flexible system designThe flexible, modular system design of GapGun Robot+ is highly flexible and scalable, making integration of systems quick, easy, and compatible with almost any robot or automated system.

7 User friendly interfaceAs well as automatically providing dimensional data, useful audible and visual indicators are provided by the system, ensuring operatives and supervisors can learn the integration process quickly as well as understand measurement conditions instantly.
