Measuring & Inspection Systems

Artec Micro 3D Scanner

Exact Metrology announces the immediate availability of the new Artec Micro 3D scanner. The Artec Micro, an automated, metrology-grade desktop 3D scanner, is Artec 3D’s most accurate 3D scanner to-date and is used for scanning tiny mechanical parts, such as engine valves or connectors, for inspection and reverse engineering, as well as other small objects for industries such as heritage preservation, dentistry and medical.

MiSTAR 555 CNC Shop Floor Coordinate Measuring Machine

Mitutoyo America Corp. announces the release of the MiSTAR 555 CNC shop floor coordinate measuring machine to its CMM product line that operates without compressed air and on conventional 120V 20 AMP electrical service with movement speeds of 606mm/s and acceleration of 2,695mm/s² (3D).

HDV300 and HDV400 Benchtop Digital Video Comparators

The L.S. Starrett Co. has introduced a new generation of its HDV300 and HDV400 benchtop digital video comparators with impressive speed increases and improved illumination, design and convenience enhancements. CNC motion on the new HDV systems is significantly faster, enabling even greater user measurement throughput. At 10mm/ sec., speed on the Y-axis has tripled and X-axis speed has almost doubled at 45mm/ sec. In addition, improved LED ring lighting provides a more consistent illumination.

MarSurf VD Series

Mahr Inc. announced the addition of the variable-drive MarSurf VD series, which enables roughness and contour measurements to be performed on the same machine. The operator can easily and quickly change between a high-precision roughness probe system or a highly dynamic contour probe system, depending on the measuring task.

S neox Non-contact 3D Optical Profiler Microscope

Sensofar Metrology announces the release of the 5th generation of its flagship optical profiler. The S neox is a high-performance non-contact 3D optical profiler microscope system purposely-designed for subnano, nano and microscale measurement, with advanced inspection and analysis capabilities.

Hot Tap Digital Flowmeters

EXAIR's new Hot Tap Digital Flowmeters allow installation when compressed air piping is under pressure. By eliminating the need to isolate and remove pressure from the pipe, these compressed air flowmeters reduce installation time while maintaining safety.

Marposs Monitoring Solutions for Cutting Machines

Marposs Monitoring Solutions can monitor both machines and machine processes by detecting machine conditions and mitigating crashes while providing vital data on the condition of machine components, supporting predictive and preventive maintenance.

Blue laser technology: setting the standard in on-machine tool measurement

The new NC4+ Blue system is designed to help machine shops across many industries transform their production capabilities. Compared to red laser sources found in conventional non-contact tool setters, Renishaw’s blue laser technology delivers improved diffraction effects and optimized laser beam geometry. In addition to industry-first blue laser technology, the NC4+ features enhanced optics built to deliver greater tool measurement accuracy.

Swivelcheck Measurement Instrument

The API Swivelcheck instrument measures and calibrates machine tool rotary axes, tilt tables and pendulum axes. Swivelcheck utilizes a servo-driven motor in conjunction with an electronic level and precision rotary encoder to measure multiple parameters in a single setup.

Global S HTA (High Throughput and Accuracy) Measurement System

Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division announced the availability of the latest version of the Global S HTA (high throughput and accuracy) solution for the aerospace industry, which brings major enhancements to Hexagon’s high-speed, non-contact compressor blade measurement system. It builds on the performance strength of the GLOBAL S HTA’s predecessor, which delivered a cycle time that was between two and five times faster than traditional tactile measurement.
