Measurement & Inspection
Filter by Process Zone:
Radio Transmission Scanning Probe for Real-Time On-Machine Part Measurement
The WRSP60 high accuracy scanning probe from Marposs checks part profiles, misalignment, surface deformation, runout and more directly on machining centers and milling machines in real-time without any handling to improve the process and optimize cycle time.
In-Line Measurement of Mid-To-Large Sized Parts
The versatile 360 deg FMC-Tracker flexible measurement cell from Hexagon delivers a new level of automated measurement productivity that can easily scale to the appropriate size for any workpiece and measure multiple parts in production.
In-Process Tool Measurement in Machine Tools
The LC50-DIGILOG laser measuring system from Blum-Novotest shortens tool measurement and testing times up to 60 percent using an optimized beam shape and 30 percent smaller focus diameter for better absolute accuracy.
Making the Switch from Negative to Positive Tool Offsets
This simple switch makes life much easier because it introduces more standardization to the shop floor, reduces the burden on operators, increases setup speed and dramatically reduces the chances of human error. All of which saves time and realizes return on investment – and each additional machine helps increase the rate of return.
Marposs Acquires Elettrosystem
This deal expands their footprint in automation, assembly and industrial testing for medical and automotive applications.
IPG Photonics Acquires Genesis Systems Group
This $115 million deal should accelerate laser processing applications in transportation, aerospace and other industrial markets.
Marposs Acquires Blulink
Acquiring these software capabilities moves them deeper into Industry 4.0 initiatives.
Nano Level Precision Control for Micro-Machining, Laser Processing and Inspection of Medical Components
The Hybrid Hexapod from ALIO combines a precision XY monolithic stage, tripod, and continuous rotation theta-Z axis for superior performance in precision, path performance, speed, stiffness and a larger work envelope with virtually unlimited XY travel and fully programmable tool center point locations with less than 100 Nm 3D 6-axis Point Precision repeatability.
Measure Spherical and Plano Optics on the Shop Floor
The MarOpto MT 100 from Mahr Inc. is ideal for measuring spheres and flats up to 4 in diameter with lambda/20 accuracy and resolution of 0.5 µm.
Jenoptik Appoints New Director
Robin Swain is now the senior director of their Silicon Valley Application Center.
Scanning Slit Laser Beam Profilers for Medical Engineering
Ophir NanoScan 2s scanning slit profilers from MKS Instruments instantly measure beam position and size with sub-micron precision for CW and kHz-pulsed lasers by using moving slits to measure beam sizes from µm to mm at beam powers from µW to kW.
Optical Surface Metrology Delivers New Insights into Surface Structures and Processing for Medical Applications
MarSurf CM systems from Mahr Inc. provide micron and nanometer resolution surface finish and micro-geometry information, including 2D and 3D surface roughness, bearing area, flatness, depth, volume and much more.
