Handheld Sensor Reliably Measures Countersinks on Various Surfaces
LMI Corp.’s LaserGage HS742 3D sensor is a 3D laser profiler and that uses blue-laser technology and application-specific algorithms to overcome the challenge of measuring countersinks on solid, translucent, shiny, and opaque surfaces with repeatable results.
Updated Software Expands Force Gage Versatility
Ametek’s Chatillon DFS II Series digital force gage with ForceTest 2.0 software gives the operator a highly flexible testing system while additional functionality. The operator also benefits from live test graphs and data analysis.
All-in-One Kits for Quality Assurance Using Universal Robots’ UR3e Cobot
Designed for Universal Robots’ UR3e cobot arm, the Q-Span Workstation from New Scale Robotics comes with everything necessary to automate small-part measurement inspection. You can improve gage R&R and boost capacity without adding headcount.
Why You WANT Variable Gage Analysis (GR&R) Results
Some manufacturers shy away from conducting gage repeatability and reproducibility (GR&R) studies because the results are inconsistent. But because variability is unavoidable, your goal is to calibrate that measuring device to consistently return an acceptable range of results.
100% Inspection on the Manufacturing Line
Streamlining quality inspections just got easier with Olympus’ Vanta iX in-line XRF analyzer that automates material analysis and alloy ID. Metal fabricators get real-time process monitoring in their 24/7 operations.
Two Optical Cutting-Tool Inspection Systems
Omega Tool Measuring Machines adds the Vue with 145x magnification and Vue Lite with 95x magnification to its portfolio of cutting-tool presetting and inspection systems.
Triple-Duty Monitoring System
Nordmann provides systems for tool monitoring and process control for all types of metal cutting operations. The SEM-Modul-e can be used to monitor tools, processes and machines.
Split-Second Response Enables Predictive Maintenance
The Artis GEMVM from Marposs is a stand-alone spindle-monitoring module that aids in predictive maintenance. Runs on Windows machine control panels or Siemens Linux systems and integrates with Marposs’ Genior Modular monitoring system.
Easy-to-Use Tool Presetter With Large Measurement Range
Capable of measuring 400 millimeters of travel on both axes, Hoffmann Group’s Garant VG Basic features an intuitive program that makes the cutting-tool presetter easy to set up and operate. Use it at the machine or a production island.
Compact Inverters Optimize Machining Performance
In addition to a wider screen that allows for a split view, Gen 3 drives for Heidenhain’s TNC 640 control system allow for jig grinding and trochoidal milling capabilities on smaller machine tools.
Remote Tool-Monitoring System Provides Real-Time Machine Control
Caron Engineering’s browser-based TMAC 3.0 enables real-time monitoring and system control from any network-connected device for any machine tool brand. It’s ideal for unattended CNC machining because no operator intervention is required.
