Measurement & Inspection
Filter by Process Zone:
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.
Broken-Tool Monitor Doesn’t React to Nuisance Faults
Allora International’s PCS-100 sensor kicks in only when a drill, tap, reamer, or end mill breaks, not when chips are accumulating; and ignores common tool-to-tool diameter differences. Speeds exceed 80 cycles/minute to keep up with the fastest machines.
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.
Marposs Introduces Remote Video Conference Testing and Acceptance Service
Tests are livestreamed through Zoom, and customers can provide immediate feedback – then their requested alterations are made in real-time.
Multiaxis Calibrator With Unlimited Measurement Range
Long-range measurement functionality in Carto 4.2 operating software enables Renishaw’s XM-60 multiaxis calibrator to capture and analyze data from a linear axis regardless of how long it is. The program also facilitates Heidenhain linear compensation.
Versatile and Virtually Seamless Dual-Measurement System
All Mitutoyo America FormTracer Avant models can be retrofitted with detectors that convert a contour measuring unit or surface roughness tester to a high-precision system that measures both attributes without closing down the software or switching off the controller.
Take Metals Analysis on the Road
Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science adds SpArcfire operating software to its mobile optical emission spectrometer (OES) analyzer product line. The intuitive interface makes metals analysis easy, eliminating the need for extensive training or highly experienced operators.
