Measurement & Inspection
Filter by Process Zone:
Medical Inspection
Contract manufacturers that are making parts for medical applications must measure and compare parts faster, with higher precision, and generate and integrate all types of inspection and measurement records for the production history of a given part. Here are some of the newest systems available to help them do that.
Measure Delicate Medical Materials with Accuracy, Not Force
Using optical encoder technology to maintain thermal stability and a high accuracy of ±0.2 µm, the Zero-Force Metro Length Gauge from Heidenhain is ideal for measuring malleable materials in medical devices.
Video Measuring Microscopes
The MarVision MM 320 from Mahr Federal accurately inspects small medical parts down to miniaturized electronic components with extreme measuring precision.
Miniature Incremental Optical Encoder for Inspection and Metrology
The ATOM non-contact optical linear and rotary incremental encoder system from Renishaw delivers unrivaled metrology performance and class-leading accuracy, with low Sub-Divisional Error (SDE), low jitter and long-term reliability.
Ultra-High Accuracy CNC Coordinate Measuring Machine
The LEGEX 4 CNC CMM from Mitutoyo can measure ultra-precise molds, aspherical lenses and parts for medical instruments, and calibrate master gages for research institutes.
How Instant Measurement Brings Instant Results (and Heavy Traffic)
By measuring up to 99 dimensions in less than three seconds, the machine shop of this medical manufacturer realized immediate return on investment in their new system that inspects small, tight-tolerance components – and anything else, from milled parts to dimensions on laser marking.
Tube & Pipe Fabrication
Here are some of the advances in tube and pipe fabrication equipment and accessories that are now available to help shops make money while meeting demands for more complex geometries, tougher materials, faster speed and higher quality.
External and Internal Thread Inspection Systems
External and Internal Variables Inspection Systems from Johnson Gage are ideal for NPT, NPTF, ANPT, and NGT Threads that are in accordance with the new ASME B1.20 Specification.
Met-L-Flo Increases Inspection Services and Capabilities
Their new ROMER Absolute Arm provides 3D scanning that measures any type of part with minimal alterations, regardless of the material or shape.
Advanced Measurement Technologies
These powerful, high precision CNC vision systems and optical comparators from Starrett increase inspection productivity, speed and accuracy, even on difficult to measure complex parts.
AIMS Metrology Acquires Tool And Die Shop
Their purchase of CMI Technology will allow them to control quality and delivery time frames for components they manufacture for their LM and HB Series CMMs.
AIMS Metrology Receives Grant To Develop New CMM Technology
They are awarded $100,000 to develop technology that will reduce CMM set-up time and increase reliability of the operator interface.
