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.
Never-Before-Possible Roughness Measurement
A MarSurf GD roughness measuring station from Mahr Inc. can do profile and waviness evaluations in addition to surface roughness evaluations on larger parts or a series of smaller parts staged together – all on the same machine.
Measuring Small Components
The Flying Spot SurfaceMeasure 201FS laser sensor from Mitutoyo uses a point scanning method to achieve high reproducibility, best-in-class scanning accuracy and a high data acquisition rate for inspection and reverse engineering of small components.
Optical Inspection of Cylinder Bore Surfaces
The Hommel-Etamic Toposcan system from Jenoptik can automatically measure the size of porosity and blow holes, stroke reversal radius, laser pocket structures, roughness of bore walls, torn and folded metal and cross-hatch angles.
Automation and Metrology
To remain competitive, more shops are searching for ways to better utilize their quality workforce and supplement them with automation. But Ken Myers of Mitutoyo America explains that what automating metrology means to one person might not mean the same to another.
Blum-Novotest Appoints New Regional Managers
Brian Morris manages sales and service in the Southwest U.S. while Andrew Nichols manages the Midwest.
AHB Tooling & Machinery Changes Ownership
Mike Gleason and Jon Hays purchase this metalworking distributor from Kevin Hess.
Faster Inspections of Welds and Stress Corrosion Cracking
The MagnaFORM scanner from Olympus is a fast, reliable way to reduce the turnaround time of weld inspection and stress corrosion cracking inspections on the roughest welds and corroded surfaces, saving time and reducing inspection costs.
Fives Partners with NRC Canada
They are developing a new profilometer for faster, more accurate part inspection of composite structures used in aerospace manufacturing.
Jenoptik Appoints New Director
Robin Swain is now the senior director of their Silicon Valley Application Center.
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.
Joe Gibbs Racing Extends Partnership with Mahr
The operations of the JGR race shop, metrology lab and pit row will use Mahr technology for another three years.
