Measuring & Inspection Systems

ZEISS Industrial Metrology announced the new family of LineScan laser line sensors that improve inspection productivity and enable reverse engineering of complex products on popular CONTURA, ACCURA II and PRISMO CMMs.

ZEISS Industrial Metrology has expanded the range of models to accommodate the measurement of larger workpieces.

ZEISS TEMPAR records room temperatures with the highest precision and enables the exact monitoring of the coordinate measuring machine (CMM) environment, resulting in more precise measurements.

The NEX series of instruments from ZEISS Industrial Metrology integrate additional measurement analysis with their new detectors.

The ZEISS O-INSPECT multisensor measuring machine is reportedly becoming more customizable and now provides even more flexibility for a wide range of applications.

The ZEISS ROTOS roughness sensor enables the standard-compliant measurement of roughness and waviness on a single coordinate measuring machine (CMM).

With ZEISS PiWeb, ZEISS has now enhanced its software for quality data management.

Giles Gaskell, North American sales manager for 3D Imaging Products for Wenzel/Xspect Solutions says, "For anyone who is looking for portable 3D imaging technology for reverse engineering or inspection, the MobileScan3D system provides the quality and repeatability of a CMM-based laser scanner in a portable and highly flexible system"

The requirements for quality assurance have increased with 3D technologies. Previously all major dimensions could be taken from a 2D drawing for tactile measurement which is no longer the case today. Modern 3D drawings include little in the way of explicit dimensions. The curves of the free-form surfaces are almost impossible to verify, using traditional tactile measurement techniques. Wenzel/Xspect Solutions Inc. is providing new advanced 3D measuring technology to solve these measuring issues and their new Shapetracer laser line scanner is quickly becoming a preferred solution.

With the new Helicheck 3D machine, Walter, a member of the United Grinding Group, introduces a CNC measuring machine for the complete digitization of tools and production parts, resulting in a 3D model that can be saved, processed, analyzed and measured.
