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.
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.
Metrology Equipment Maker Upgrades Calibrator, Introduces Higher-Resolution Digital Indicators
Mahr Inc.’s Precimar ICM 100 IP can be retrofit to automatically calibrate dial and digital indicators, test indicators, and dial comparators. Six higher-resolution options expand potential applications for MarCator 1086R-HR and 1087R-HR digital indicators.
Higher-Resolution Addition to AICON SmartScan Range
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence’s R12 is a 12-megapixel version of the company’s AICON SmartScan white light scanner. The higher-resolution camera increases the accuracy of a system known for versatility and portability.
Two Measurement Solutions from Mitutoyo
The multisensor MiSCAN Vision System is a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with a microscopic-level scanning probe. The compact MiSTAR 555 is a space-saving in-line or near-line CNC CMM designed for high-speed, high-accuracy measurements with assurance from 10° C to 40° C.
CMMs Increase Productivity in Specialized Manufacturing Sectors
Hexagon’s Leitz Reference BX coordinate measuring machine (CMM) accelerates blade and glass measurement up to 50%, addressing long-standing challenges faced by aAerospace and consumer electronics manufacturers. Multisensor 3D OPTIV M CMM gives manufacturers of small and medium precision parts greater configuration flexibility.
Starrett Appoints New VP of Metrology Systems
David Allen has been tapped to lead the high-end metrology businesses for the Athol, Mass., manufacturer.
Intelligent Vision Systems Improve Weld Inspection
The DIGI-ARC real-time seam tracking system and WiKi-SCAN+ portable weld inspection system from Servo-Robot monitor, analyze, and improve weld processes.
Laser-Enhanced Calibration Improves Programmed Path Performance
ColeTech used a Radian 6DoF tracker from API to correct errors in joint angles and link lengths for deflashing molded parts.
Breakthrough Technology: Handheld LIBS for Fabricators
Almost every major pipeline owner/operator now either uses a portable LIBS device for verifying their materials or requires their non-destructive testing contractors to use it. Almost every major refinery uses one for carbon testing, as do the inspection companies that support their PMI/NDT programs. Here’s why.
