Measuring/Inspecting

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

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.

Vision Engineering's SX25 stereo zoom microscope has been designed to incorporate high quality optics without all of the unnecessary optional extras, keeping the cost down, making the SX25 microscope an affordable option.

Vision Engineering's Kestrel Elite, 2-Axis Optical Measurement Microscope is designed for engineers to withstand the challenging conditions on the shop floor.

Verisurf Software Inc. says its new 3DGage enables manufacturers to quickly implement lean model based inspection right on the shop floor that yield real improvements in production and quality while reducing costs.

Available with a digital micrometer that shows readings in 0.00005-inch (0.001mm) divisions, the new XAM-1 Measuring Microscope from Titan Tool Supply Inc. provides precision measurements that are not limited by magnification, field of view, or a calibrated reticle for its measuring capacity.

Titan Tool Supply Inc. offers two new videoscope units designed for portable, on-site inspections.

A low-cost LED ring illuminator from Titan Tool Supply Inc. features a constant-current design to provide powerful, microscope-quality light output with no color shift when dimming.

Titan Tool Supply introduces a new line of videoscopes to conduct remote quality control visual inspections required for aviation maintenance, casting inspection, cavity inspection, diesel or gasoline engine repair, locomotive maintenance, ship maintenance, and other applications.

Titan Tool Supply Inc. introduces a new Z-axis depth measuring microscope, which is designed to measure minute variations in height not easily distinguished by mechanical means.
