Measure 48-Inch Components on the Shop Floor
American Precision Gauge solves an age-old measuring limitation for shafting, piping, tubing, and other long components. Use the digital caliper for quality control or build it in as a setup gauge or touch-off.
Bringing Flexibility to 100% Inspection of Precision Turned Parts
A Michigan automotive component supplier finds the ideal tool for quickly and confidently ensuring 600 active parts meet zero-defects requirements. Two Resec Systems ShadowGage Sorters paid for themselves within six months.
Asymmetric XY Stages With Nanometer-Level Precision
ALIO introduces a positioning solution that provides customers with the exact X and Y travel ranges needed for their applications.
Magnetic Encoder System for Absolute Accuracy of Position
With Drive-Cliq interface, Balluff’s measuring system continuously checks quality and isn’t affected by heat or dirt.
Hexagon to Acquire CAE Software Maker Romax Technology
Adding Romax’s expertise in electromechanical drivetrain design and simulation to its Manufacturing Intelligence division will, says Hexagon, enhance its Smart Factory Solutions.
Bimetal Reciprocating Saw Blades Triple Cutting Performance
Featuring a reinforced shank that helps resist breakage, 3X Power blades from L.S. Starrett cut metal and other materials more efficiently. A version with heat-treated teeth set at a super-aggressive pitch cuts fast in applications such as demolition and emergency vehicle extrication.
L.S. Starrett Expands Hardness Testing Line with 16 Products
L.S. Starrett’s 16 hardness-testing solutions include seven Rockwell systems, eight Vickers systems, and one Brinell system. Suitable for internal and external testing via dolphin nose design, the No. 3823 and No. 3824 test carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and nonferrous metals per 30 Rockwell hardness scales.
Improved Handheld LIBS Capabilities for Quality Assurance
Rigaku’s KT Series of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) analyzers for metal forming, fabricating, welding, and finishing includes the KT-100S. Via the Drill Down feature, the analyzer automatically burns through imperfections to obtain a clean reading.
Affordably Priced Handheld XRF Analyzer
The Vanta Element from Olympus Scientific Solutions Americas provides the same fast material- and alloy-grade identification as the line’s other models in a rugged, cost-effective package. The 2.9-lb X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer works in temperatures ranging from 14 degrees F to 113 degrees F (-10 degrees C to 45 degrees C).
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.
Super-Fast Gear-Measuring System
The M62 Scan from Marposs relieves the workload of gear lab machines by enabling an interim check directly on the shop floor. The universal inspection system can reach speeds of up to 50 mm/s, helping to improve production processes.
