COORD3 5-Axis CMM

Perceptron Inc., Plymouth, Mich., recently launched a full range of 5-axis coordinate measurement machines (CMMs) complete with the Renishaw® REVO-2 scanning probe and a fully-integrated universal CMM controller and MODUS® metrology software. The company combined the metrology stability of the COORD3 Universal CMM with the latest Renishaw REVO-2 5-axis measuring system, according to Perceptron CMM Product Sales DirectorElliott Mills. This combination, he added, minimizes CMM dynamic error for high-speed probe motion because all of the part feature scanning motion takes place within the head of the REVO-2, which is said to be the only scanning system for CMMs that simultaneously controls the motion of three CMM and two probe head axes. At the same time, the company added, the REVO-2 also collects workpiece data using its range of 3D tactile probes, surface roughness measurement probe and non-contact vision probe.

M4 Inline part marking system demonstration

The new M4 Inline part marking system from Dapra Marking Systems, Bloomfield, Conn., is a turnkey solution that features an integrated 16 bus card and is said to eliminate the need for vision identification/control equipment, making the system ideal for efficient, cost-effective inline part marking for everything from automated production lines to manual loading stations and custom-engineered systems, according to a Dapra news release issued Jan. 25.

Revolution HB Shop Floor CMM

To help companies meet tolerances and achieve repeatability, Advanced Industrial Measurement Systems (AIMS), a maker of coordinate measuring machines (CMM), recently introduced the Revolution Series HB Shop Floor CMM, the Dayton, Ohio-based company announced in a Jan. 22 news release. Designed and built around Renishaw 5-axis technology, the Revolution HB is said to be the only mobile 5-axis CMM on the market.

MarSurf UD 130 Measuring System

Mahr Federal, Providence, R.I., recently introduced an "entry level" surface finish and contour measuring system capable of generating both surface and contour measurements in a single pass, according to a company news release issued Jan. 21. The MarSurf® UD 130, which replaces the MarSurf UD 120, is said to offer improved nanometer range measurements, high measuring and positioning speeds, a biomimetic probe design with better rigidity and higher dynamics, as well as automatic probe arm recognition.

3D-Sensor New Generation

3D-Sensor New Generation
"These enhancements improve operations, eliminate restrictions to the working area and allow an extremely precise display of the spindle position," the company said. The new sensor is said to be capable of fast, "math-free" positioning of the spindle axis on the edges of the workpiece, and offers precision of 0.01mm when used with original Haimer probe tips.

Portable CMM

The portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) arm-free probing system HandyPROBE and the C-Track dual-camera sensor form a unique duo that generates high accuracy measurements and increases the reliability and speed of the measurement process.
