Inspection tech helps tractor maker

By Vicivision America

Trenton S.p.A. is a manufacturer focused mainly on making parts for machines and tractors used for agriculture. Giordano Cecchini, who works in quality control, said there are competitive benefits to having a Vicivision measuring machine involved in producing parts at the facility.

“A company like Trenton,” he said, “with its good reputation, is a real landmark in this area. Most of the manufacturing is done in-house, (and) we take care of many different client requests. In terms of production and quality, we always try to have the best equipment available, (and) this machine can be used to carry out inspection on an entire line.”

The accuracy and simplicity that the machine provides allows Trenton to better prioritize its time for more important tasks for operational needs. The company uses an M2018 Techno with a touch probe to measure the many different parts made there.

“We can produce parts up to 1,500 mm in length and inspect them on the Vici machine (using) the touch probe to measure keyway slots and planes,” Cecchini said. “This machine measures parts 2,000 mm in length and 180 mm in width, giving Trenton the versatility we need in measuring the mechanical components we create.”
