Specialized Micrometers Solve Five Measuring Dilemmas
Mahr’s Micromar 40EWR digital micrometers address a conundrum manufacturers face every day: how to measure unique objects and surfaces in widely diverse scenarios. Wireless data transmission is available for each of the five models in the series.
Wireless Communication Capability Enables Speedy Shop-Floor Quality Control
Mahr depth gages transmit measurement data wirelessly, simplifying recording and documentation and facilitating networked production. Pocket-sized 30 EWRi travels easily all over the plant floor; 30 EWR-U and 30 EWRi-U universal gages open the door to numerous applications.
Portable Measurement Arm Meets High-Speed Scanner
Designed for Hexagon’s 7-axis Absolute Arm, the RS-Squared area scanner adds 3D laser scanning to touch probing to measure parts faster than conventional scanners. No reference markers are required, and that’s the silver bullet that keeps overall scan time to a minimum.
Free DRO Upgrade Responds to Industry Demands
The latest software for Heidenhain’s Acu-Rite family of digital readouts(DROs) features at least three enhancements designed to increase productivity and efficiency. One adds Axes Q on the axes’ names list for customers who use their DROs on optical comparators.
3D Reality Capture Puts the Whole Scene on a Screen
Available from Exact Metrology, the Leica RTC360 laser scanner generates a full model of large-scale objects with down-to-the-millimeter accuracy. Built-in Leica Cyclone Field 360 app automatically registers scans in real time, and software integrates the 3D model into the user’s workflow.
Optical CMM’s Software Does the Thinking for You
Brucker Alicona’s µCMM enables inexperienced operators to confidently and accurately measure component dimension, position, shape, and roughness. MetMaX operating software turns the coordinate measuring machine (CMM) into a planning and reporting system as well.
Double-Duty Measuring of Big Components
Combining dimensional metrology and surface roughness measurement, the InfiniteFocus G5 from Bruker Alicona provides high repeatability and vertical resolution of up to 10 nanometers. An interface equips the system for fully automatic measurement during production.
Nanopositioner’s Tip-and-Tilt Travel Is a Game-Changer
Alio Industries’ HH-30D Hybrid Hexapod offers unprecedented XY travel ranges with nanometer-level precision. Unlimited number of tool center point (TCP) locations can be programmed via forward and inverse controller kinematics.
How to Optimize Laser Welding, Cutting, Cladding, and Marking
Output power can be measured with one of three types of sensors: photodiode, thermopile, and thin-film thermoelectric. Here’s how to decide which one will most cost-effectively meet your process application needs.
Smart Camera Solves Complex Inspections
Powered by deep learning software, the Cognex In-Sight D900 expands what can be measured in factory automation. The all-in-one device automates in-line inspections for industries ranging from automotive, consumer electronics, and consumer products to packaging, food and beverage, medical devices, and logistics.
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.
