Smart Technologies Impact Dimensional Inspection Operations
Ideal for the higher productivity demanded by automotive, aerospace, general mechanics and precision mechanics industries, the GLOBAL S CMM platform from Hexagon utilizes smart technologies and PC-DMIS software for collection, evaluation, management and presentation of manufacturing data.
Affordable Wireless Laser Tracker for Large-Scale Measurement
Ideal for shipyards, construction sites and other large industrial applications, the portable OT2 Core wireless laser tracker from Automated Precision weighs only 10.9 kg, making it ideal for many measuring applications with its 50 m operating range.
Long Tapes with Blade Cleaning System for Large-Scale Measurements
The 100 ft and 300 ft Open Reel and Closed Reel Long Tapes from Milwaukee Tool each use a Grime Guard blade cleaning system with a wiper that keeps dirt, mud, and other jobsite contaminants out of the housing and internal components of the long tape as its reeled in for much longer tool life.
CNC Measurement of Large-Scale, Heavy, Cylindrical Parts
The custom-built RA-6000CNC roundness/cylindricity measuring system from Mitutoyo provides best-in-class accuracy for measuring large parts generally associated with automotive, energy, marine and aviation applications.
How to Make Large Precision Measurements Simple and Affordable
With greater air bearing separation for increased stiffness and accuracy, the new Zenith-3 CNC coordinate measuring machine from Aberlink USA can be supplied with any Renishaw touch trigger probe and probe head.
Portable Precision Laser Thickness Gauge for Steel Service Centers
The compact AGT600 optical-based thickness measuring system from Advanced Gauging Technologies can be easily moved to measure any coil, sheet or strip form material to reduce the production of scrap and provide detailed material thickness reports.
