Innovative Metrology and Force Measurement Systems

In Booth 3015, The L.S. Starrett Company (Athol, MA) will demonstrate several advanced metrology systems, precision tools, gages and force measurement systems, including new, innovative L1 entry-level computer-based force testing solutions for applications ranging from load limit and distance testing to break limit, time average, cyclic count and duration testing, constant hold and more. Metrology systems include the HDV300 Horizontal Digital Video Comparator that combines the best features of vision and optical comparator technology with a uniquely designed interchangeable lens mounting system, go/no-go digital overlay capability directly from part CAD files, real-time video edge detection and more. With 12 in x 6 in of stage travel, the HDV is configured like a traditional horizontal comparator. The system has a uniquely mounted 5 MP digital video camera coupled with a choice of quick-change telecentric lenses or 6.5:1 zoom for micron-level resolution.

The HDV system includes a powerful 64-bit PC and touchscreen monitor that runs MetLogix M3 Metrology software. With this software, DXF CAD files can be imported and 2D Go-No-Go gages created, similar to using a Mylar overlay chart on a comparator screen. Video edge detection (VED) allows real-time interaction of the imported file with the video image of the part being inspected, resulting in enhanced productivity, speed and accuracy.
