BEYOND COMPARATIVE GAGES
How Long? New Precision Length Machine brings rapid sub-micron measurement to the shop floor and into the hands of the precision machinist.
ENTER THE FAST LANE
Faster Inspection: A new CMM retrofit program delivers the latest CMM speeds and capabilities for a fraction of new machine cost. Check this one out.
GO FULL CIRCLE
For use with both 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows XP and Vista, this latest version of ballbar software is downloadable and free of charge.
MORE POWER: NEXT STEPS IN INSPECTION SOFTWARE
This hardware-independent inspection software is now even easier and more flexible to use, from simply measuring the distance between two points, two planes or the centres of two circles, to checking the thickness of a section, to complex identification of problem areas in bigger parts with large numbers of measurements.
INSPECT MORE WITH LESS
New Digital Gage Interface/Multiplexer connects to one PC serial port and uses up to eight digital micrometers, calipers and height gages at the same time. A single operator can define multiple ?part feature? setups, each having unique tolerance limits, preset value, measurement resolution, peak-hold setting and display format. And that?s just the start.
SCRATCH THE SURFACE
Surface Measurement: This 3D Motorized Scanner inspects very low roughness without contact. Easy-to-use microscope precisely measures 3D microstructures and determines roughness of surfaces in high resolution 3D with true color.
SMART SEAM FINDING SOLUTIONS FOR ROBOTIC ARC WELDING APPLICATIONS
Servo Robot’s Robo-Find laser-based sensing system is designed to locate, detect and measure weld joints without making contact with the part. The system detects part position and dimensional variations, then signals the robot and adjusts torch trajectory all in less than one second. Robo-Find is ideal for robotic welding applications where precise joint location and fit-up is not possible, yet optimum weld quality and productivity is required.
HEXAGON METROLOGY, INC.
Hexagon Metrology focuses exclusively on measurement technologies and solutions that measure objects in one, two or three dimensions, that position and update objects, and time processes.
ENTRY LEVEL, MODULAR VIDEO-BASED SYSTEM FOR PRECISION INSPECTION
L.S. Starrett Company will showcase the Galileo KineMic. This entry level modular video-based inspection system is well-suited for quality assurance, receiving inspection, training, manufacturing, assembly, research, documentation and a variety of other applications.
SPLITTING HAIRS
Measuring Thin Medical Wire: California Fine Wire Company uses Starrett amplifiers to bring final resolution to inspecting ultra-fine wire used in medical instruments.
NOTHING LESS IS ACCEPTABLE
Marposs shows how medical device manufacturing presents some unique measurement and control challenges ? and even more unique solutions.
MEASURING TAPER IN ORTHOPEDIC DEVICES
George Schuetz of Mahr Federal explains why air gaging has become the inspection tool of choice for controlling the critical parameters on these devices.
