Measuring & Inspection Systems

DWFritz Automation introduces Zero-Touch, a recently patented noncontact multipurpose metrology platform. Zero-Touch is a highly configurable system that simultaneously captures multiple 3D dimensional measurements in a fraction of time compared to traditional coodinate measuring machines.

Digital Metrology Solutions Inc., have announced the release of OmniSurf3D for 3D surface texture visualization and analysis. The new software provides a suite of 3D surface analysis tools that can be quickly mastered by non-metrology experts, as well as advanced users.

Eight years after the launch of the first ROMER Absolute Arm, Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has unveiled its new Absolute Arm range. A ground-up redesign has seen one of the world’s most recognizable portable measuring arms modernized to meet the needs of today’s metrology users, with a key focus on improved usability and versatility without compromising on speed and accuracy.

Vision Engineering has announced the general availability of its brand new class of TVM Field of View (FOV) video measurement systems. TVM combines a small footprint, with larger system performance and ease of use. Time-saving instant FOV measurements and a moving stage allow larger components to be measured quickly and easily.

The L.S. Starrett Co. has introduced a range of digital electronic Indicators conforming to true AGD (American Gage Design) Group 1 dimensions, providing the ability to replace traditional mechanical indicating applications in the smallest AGD size specification class. Starrett 2700 electronic indicators are the first digital gages to match true AGD Group 1 dimensions (1.70"/ 43mm diameter).

Mahr Inc. introduces the MarSurf CM series of Optical 3D surface metrology systems for industry and research applications. The new MarSurf CM’s innovative confocal technology with high-precision 16-bit HDR technology delivers high-resolution 3D surface topography data, enabling new insights into surface structures and processing. Rugged construction, robust technology and results that conform to international standards ensure optimal results in a variety of applications.

The new Beta LaserMike Z-Mike Pro from NDC Technologies is the next evolution of the off-line part measurement system for metrology applications. The new Z-Mike Pro sports sleek, modern styling and is ready for service under Industry 4.0 with expanded connectivity, communication and control capabilities.

The requirement for strict specification and acceptance of all automotive parts and components has greatly increased in recent years. Screw thread inspection is no exception. The common practice of eddy current probes, lasers, proximity sensors or vision systems are only partly successful as they only inform you of the presence of a thread, not if it's correct or within tolerance. The unique low-cost SMAC solution enables you to automatically check various screw thread parameters.
