Measuring & Inspection Systems

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.

Interactive Cycle Insertion Screens on CNCs

Machine tool programmers and engineers that utilize Renishaw’s GoProbe macros could save significant time and labor with the use of Mitsubishi Electric Automation Inc.’s Interactive Cycle Insertion screens on its M8 Series of CNCs. They can use the Interactive Cycle Insertion screens to integrate Renishaw GoProbe macros directly into their CNC.

LVC400 Automated Video Measurement System

Vision Engineering Inc. has launched the LVC400, a fully automated 3-axis video measurement system. Suitable for measuring large components or multiple small components, quickly, easily and accurately, LVC400 offers faster measurement and high accuracy levels.

Deep Reality Viewer Digital 3D Stereoscopic Display Technology

Vision Engineering’s DRV (Deep Reality Viewer) digital 3D stereoscopic display technology creates stereo high-definition 3D images without using a monitor or requiring operators to wear headsets or specialist glasses because images "float" in front of a mirror.

outdoorScan3 Safety Laser Scanner

SICK is launching its newest safety laser scanner, outdoorScan3. It is the first safety laser scanner certified to IEC 62998 for use in outdoor applications.

SFP2 Probe

Until now fabricators conducting surface finish measurements have had to use hand-held sensors or move a part to a dedicated measuring machine. To help companies reclaim lost production time, AIMS Metrology has equipped its Revolution Series LM coordinate measuring machine with a Renishaw 5-axis REVO 2 head and the new SFP2 probe. Because the SFP2 is interchangeable with other probe options, it gives manufacturers the flexibility to inspect a diverse range of features on one CMM.

NEXTSENSE CALIPRI C15 Noncontact Measurement System

Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division announced the launch of a new wireless, inline, gap and flash measuring system. The NEXTSENSE CALIPRI C15 is the latest addition to the CALIPRI family of non-contact measurement systems, which use a patented sensing technique to rapidly and accurately measure gap and flush, seal gap and feature lines throughout the manufacturing process.
