Advanced Measurement and Inspection Technologies

In Booth E-135532, The L.S. Starrett Company (Athol, MA) will be demonstrating a wide range of their latest systems, from Automated Vision Technology and Optical Measuring Systems, to Force Testing Equipment, Surface Measurement, Hardness Testing, new Electronic Digital Measuring Tools and Wireless Data Collection to support manufacturing’s transition to Industry 4.0. These include the innovative new HVR100 “FLIP” Digital Video System, the industry’s first vision system to work upright vertically, or on its side horizontally, a unique function for application versatility. One of these systems will be demonstrated as a fully automated metrology solution, where the HVR100 will be served by a robot loading parts on the machine’s workstage. The HVR100 provides rapid measurement results and features a large field-of-view, automatic part recognition, and powerful, easy-to-use measuring tools.

Also on display will be an AVR300 Automatic Vision System that is ideal for repetitive measurements and automatic comparison to CAD files, featuring both zoom optics and interchangeable telecentric lenses for micron-level resolution and accurate field-of-view measurements. A compact, economical HE400 bench-top Optical Comparator with a 16 in screen will also be showcased, in addition to two Horizontal Digital Video Comparators, the HDV300 featuring new updates and the HDV500. These systems combine 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. Also on display will be the launch of innovative, entry-level L1 computer-based Force Testing Products. Optimized for production and quality control testing, these systems are easy to setup, operate and maintain for performing a wide range of testing from load, limit and break testing to cyclic count testing and more.

A broad range of precision measuring tools will be on display featuring new Electronic Digital Micrometers, Indicators, Height gages and new Bluetooth-enabled Bore Gages for wireless data acquisition via data collection devices and systems such as DataSure®. Wireless acquisition will play a key role in supporting data-intensive Industry 4.0 initiatives. Also on display will be True-Stone engineered granite metrology bases, surface and hardness testers.
