Mitutoyo America Releases MCOSMOS Version 5.0 Metrology Suite for CMMs
What distinguishes MCOSMOS v.5 from its predecessor are the upgrades to its interface, functions, and performance; most notably the new and simplified graphical user interface.
High Levels of Accuracy at Lightspeed
CMMs provide precise measurements and shorter measurement times.
RFP Fringe Probe Increases 5-Axis Measurement System Flexibility
Renishaw’s multisensor REVO 5-axis measurement system provides highly accurate scanning, non-contact inspection and surface finish analysis at ultra-high speeds on one coordinate measuring machine (CMM).
Improved Probe Provides Shop-Floor Measurements
Automated Precision’s portable vProbe performs CMM-style measurements on the shop floor and is more versatile than a portable-arm coordinate measuring machine (CMM).
Acquisition Expands AIMS Metrology’s Service Footprint
Now under AIMS ownership, Measurement Specialties Inc. has supported CMM brands including Sheffield – as retrofitting and upgrading business has increased over the last year, AIMS is now poised to broaden its customer service offerings.
Using Intelligent Machine Control To Optimize Quality Assurance
One of manufacturing’s biggest challenges is filling the knowledge gap left by skilled employees who retire. Intelligent machine control (IMC) increases throughput regardless of who’s operating measurement and production equipment by removing the potential for human error.
Designing Inspection Fixturing is Virtually Foolproof
The latest version of Renishaw’s 3D fixture-modelling software creates a metrology setup around a CAD model of an inspected part. With FixtureBuilder 8.0, users don’t need a coordinate measuring machine or other inspection device to confirm accuracy.
LK Metrology Announces CMM Assistance Program
A series of special services are offered to medical equipment manufacturers to meet urgent CMM requirements. Topping the list is expedited sales and service for TP20/TP200, SP25M, Nikon L/LC/XC laser scanners, PH20 and REVO probes.
Quality and Reverse-Engineering Tips During Social Distancing
Exact Metrology offers practical ways to maintain safe, effective production in the workplace. Maintaining a six-foot distance from others as well as frequent hand-washing and device sanitizing are critical.
High-Performance Height Gauge
Mitutoyo America Corp.’s QM-Height Series measures height, height difference (step), inside/outside widths, inside/outside diameters, circle pitch, and free-form surface max/min heights to ±(2.4+2.1L/600) μm. Simple-to-use control panel enables most measurements to be made with one keystroke.
LK Metrology Enters Portable Measuring Arm Market
The coordinate measuring machine (CMM) manufacturer is entering the portable measuring arm market with the Freedom line of 24 3D articulating arms. A 6-axis model for touch probing and a 7-axis version for multisensor metrology including laser scanning are available in two accuracy levels.
Higher-Resolution Addition to AICON SmartScan Range
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence’s R12 is a 12-megapixel version of the company’s AICON SmartScan white light scanner. The higher-resolution camera increases the accuracy of a system known for versatility and portability.
