Better Tooling, More Precision
Demands for higher precision machining can’t be met without more accurate tooling. Here are some of the latest systems that can measure tooling more efficiently and effectively.
Hexagon Acquires Etalon
This deal expands their footprint in calibration systems and on-machine measurement systems.
North American Tool Appoints New Representative
Metal Working Solutions sells their special taps, thread mills, dies and thread gages in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
Measure Fluted Cutting Tools with Absolute Accuracy, Reliability and Repeatability
For machine shops facing tighter tolerances and pressure to turn out precision parts more efficiently, the Z-Mike Pro gauge from NDC provides precision over the entire measurement range with no recalibration, no need to center the object to be measured, and measurements that are traceable to national standards.
Advanced Optical Comparator with Touchscreen Geometric Display
The M2 2D processor on the PH-A14 comparator from Mitutoyo features a touchscreen geometric measurement display that generates distances and tangent lines from within the graphical part view and geometric tolerancing to measure features, set nominals, apply tolerances and view deviation results with only a few quick clicks.
How to Easily Inspect Machine Spindle Tapers
To ensure that high precision machining is taking place at all times, the Dyna Contact ceramic taper gage from BIG KAISER is used to check the geometric accuracy of a machine spindle taper by visually comparing the contact of the gage to the spindle.
Effective Measurement and Control of Shop Tooling
The Smile universal presetting and measuring machine from Zoller accurately measures standard tools easily and quickly, while their Smart Cabinets precisely track the exact location of any given tool, who checked the tool out, for which machine and to which job.
Innovative Metrology and Force Measurement Systems
The HDV300 Horizontal Digital Video Comparator from Starrett combines vision and optical comparator technology with a uniquely designed interchangeable lens mounting system, go/no-go digital overlay capability directly from part CAD files, and real-time video edge detection.
Increase Machine Utilization with Advanced Tool Presetting and Inductive Shrink Fit Systems
Microset tool presetting machines from Haimer reduce set up times by up to 70 percent and streamline tool setting processes with accuracy and process reliability from one operator to the next. Their Power Clamp machines provide 360 deg gripping torque with repeatable balance at the touch of a button.
