Measurement & Inspection
Filter by Process Zone:
Next-Generation Hand-Held Electronic Micrometers
The 733.1 outside micrometer is one of more than 100 new hand-held measuring tools from L.S. Starrett. The products feature enhanced electronics, ergonomic design, larger readout display, and longer battery life thanks to auto-shutoff.
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.
System Simplifies Robotic Mobile Quality Inspection
OnRobot’s updated Eyes robot vision system sorts, inspects, and picks-and-places parts using color and contour – what the company calls one-shot detection – instead of workpiece teaching, greatly reducing cycle times and easing the programming process.
Hardness Tester Supports Two Measurement Protocols
Mitutoyo America’s HR-600 does both Rockwell hardness testing and Light Force Brinell testing, expanding the range of available measurements. It’s the company’s first hardness tester with a moving head.
One Display Serves as User Interface for Two Monitoring Tasks
The 4.3-inch IPC4 operator panel for Marposs’ Artis Genior monitoring systems is preconfigured with visualization software to serve as a user interface for the Artis GEMCMS02 for collision detection or the Gemtmuro for monitoring toolholder runout.
Pocket-Sized But Powerful Mobile Surface Measurement System
Mahr’s portable MarSurf M 310 offers features that were previously available only in PC-based systems. Features including automatic creation of measuring reports in PDF format, integration of a barcode or data matrix scanner, and printing reports to letter size paper are all standard.
Advanced Tube Measurement at an Affordable Price
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence’s TubeShaper v2 software is available via an offline license that enables engineers and designers to work on projects separately from operators measuring tubes on the shop floor. More tasks can run concurrently, saving time and averting bottlenecks.
Flaw Detector Combines Multiple Features
OmniScan phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) instruments are known for power, reliability, and ease of use. Whether inspecting pipes, welds, pressure vessels, or composites, the OmniScan X3 flaw detector from Olympus enables users to complete their work efficiently and interpret flaws with confidence.
3D Laser Scanning Supports COVID-19 Response
Two NVision Inc. projects demonstrate the growing role of noncontact scanning/measurement technologies in the race to create new products that minimize exposure to the novel coronavirus.
Quickly and Easily Measure Carbide Tools and Metal Blanks
Confirm tolerances without gauge remastering with the Aeroel MECLAB.T40 from Marposs. The benchtop laser measurement system doesn’t require a PC, so it’s ideal for use on the shop floor.
Lab-Quality Measurement Anywhere You Need It
Equipped with a 16-bit high-dynamic-range (HDR) camera, Mahr’s updated MarSurf CM mobile optical surface metrology tool offers the highest-speed, highest-resolution confocal measurements on the shop floor and in the field.
‘Total’ QA/QC with Autonomous Machine Vision (AMV)
The developer claims its Inspekto S70 is the first truly autonomous inspection system. Driven by artificial intelligence engines that use good samples to identify noncompliant parts, the Inspekto S70 installs in minutes and is about one-tenth the cost of traditional machine vision solutions.
