2014 Measurement & Inspection Outlook
As metrology becomes more sophisticated, shops continually try to measure things faster, do more things on the production floor and less in the lab. This need for speed is increasing opportunities for optical measurement technology across a broad spectrum of market sectors and applications.
Measurement & Inspection: What’s New for 2014
Here are some of the latest metrology solutions that can help shops measure more varieties of parts faster, with higher precision and with deeper data analysis for process management.

Fully Integrate Surface Finish Inspection within Coordinate Measurement Routines
The SFP1 probe option for the REVO® five-axis measurement system from Renishaw is the first to allow surface finish inspection to be fully integrated within coordinate measurement routines.
Automated Optical Measuring System for Dimensional Testing of Turned Parts
The MarShaft Scope Plus from Mahr Federal is now twice as accurate as previous — and competitive — models. It offers micron level measurements, and includes a new MarWin®-based controller and system architecture that opens new levels of machine capability.
As The World Turns
A process-controlled hard turning cell in this Texas machine shop deploys programmable gages for measuring and sorting mud-motor bearings – and the cell pays for itself in 18 days.
Before Investing in Quality Management Solutions, Know Thyself
Every shop should develop a high-level understanding of their existing quality resources so they can begin creating flow charts for each quality process that, in turn, will help them understand not only a breakdown of what takes place within a specific process, but also the resources allocated to each step along with any potential gaps that may exist.
Flexible System pushes the Boundaries of 3D Scanning
The LMI Technologies HDI R3x Advance Scanner from GoMeasure3D performs at 0.88 seconds/scan with a resolution up to 2.6 million points (5.2 million polygons) and accuracy up to 50 microns (0.002 in). It can be changed by placing the cameras in different preset slots or by replacing them with interchangeable camera lenses to fit precise needs.
Lifetime Warranty on Precision Electronic Measurement Instruments
Fowler/Sylvac now offers a lifetime warranty on select measurement tools.
