Equipment for measuring the depth of anchor penetration into the escape wheel
Equipment for measuring the depth of anchor penetration into the escape wheel
The qmtachepage-100 is a state-of-the-art optical instrument specifically designed to measure the geometric characteristics of the escapement related to the finishing process. It allows for the measurement of penetration depths and roundness.
A pneumatic actuation system enables measurement of movements without an oscillator. It is fully integrated and compact; optionally, computer hardware can also be integrated.
The optical system of the qmtachepage-100 allows for the simultaneous measurement of both anchor pallets with high precision and high speed. This makes it possible to perform measurements in static conditions (movement without an oscillator with pneumatic actuation) and in dynamic conditions (functional movement with an oscillator).
The qmtachepage software was specifically developed for this equipment; it is very easy to use both for taking measurements and for creating measurement programs.
- Cycle time less than 15 seconds with simultaneous measurement of both pallets
- Accuracy and measurement capability with a high-resolution telecentric optical system and pneumatic actuation control
- Integrated and compact equipment
- Connectivity capability for transferring data to other systems

Communication of qmtachevage-100 measurements to VOH IV
In order to facilitate adjustment operations, the interfacing of the two pieces of equipment was carried out via LINKiX communication: the correction value is transmitted between the measuring device (the qmtachevage-100) and the correction device (VOH IV) automatically. Among the information transmitted are the manufacturing order and the identification of the movement, in addition to the entry and exit correction of the lift to be carried out

QMTachetage-100 technologies
The qmtachepage-100 is a device for measuring the depth of anchor penetration into the escape wheel of movements.
The qmtachepage-100 offers two measurement modes. The static mode with anchor actuation by a pneumatic system (movement without oscillator), the dynamic mode with measurement performed by high-speed acquisition with automatic image detection showing total engagement.
The qmtachepage-100 is fully integrated with a small footprint (560 x 210 x 350). It only requires power (electricity and compressed air) to be operational.
An 8MP camera (2800 x 2800 pixels) and a 5.4 x 5.4mm telecentric lens
The optical system allows simultaneous measurement of the input and output paddles for a measurement on a single revolution of the escape wheel and a cycle time of < 15 seconds
Customization for advanced management such as automatic sending of results to databases
The client can choose the IT equipment to best meet their needs and standards, either equipment integrated by QMT or their own equipment.
