The showroom will feature the Mach Ko-Ga-Me system, as well as other equipment on display at IMTS 2018 including a Mach 3A CMM, QV Active, Crysta-Apex EX 5-axis CNC CMM with PH20, Optical Comparator with M2-2D interface, the new U-Wave Fit, and the new HR-530 hardness tester.
During the celebration, attendees will have an opportunity to tour the facility and take part in several product demonstrations. Scheduled highlights include
Interactive Tool Table: The innovative tool display will be available all day and provide a look at tool specifications and show unique features of select individual specialty tools and allow attendees to try the individual products and interact with them.
8:30 a.m. Automated Metrology Solutions: Mitutoyo’s team of engineers will be available to show shop floor integration solutions, automated measurement cell technology and custom measurement solutions.
10:00 a.m. Vision Systems for High Accuracy Measurement: A demonstration on NEW QV Active release, PFF, QV Stream System Technology and Touch Probe, Optional Software releases, Micro Technology and White Light Interferometry.
1:00 p.m. Introduction to Electronic Data Collection and Real-Time SPC: Experience the full capabilities of MeasurLink SPC data collection software and various ways of getting the data from gages to the SPC software. Demonstrations will include data collection using USB direct cables, wireless transmitters, and new USB Multiplexers.
2:30 p.m. Fundamentals of Surface Roughness: With more than 100 ways to measure a surface and analyze results, it's no wonder there is confusion when it comes to surface analysis. During this demonstration, learn what surface analysis is and necessary calibration steps; and the importance of tip wear and checks.
“At Mitutoyo, custom solutions is an integral part of who we are. Our goal is to always provide timely, quality metrology solutions to our customers that are convenient and practical for their businesses,” says Terry Davis, regional sales manager. “At an M3 Solution Center everything is provided under one roof so the customer can have easy access to all of the latest technology available in one place and interact with the tools to ensure we are providing them with solutions that address their core concerns and aren’t just talking about product functionality.”

- calibration
calibration
Checking measuring instruments and devices against a master set to ensure that, over time, they have remained dimensionally stable and nominally accurate.
- centers
centers
Cone-shaped pins that support a workpiece by one or two ends during machining. The centers fit into holes drilled in the workpiece ends. Centers that turn with the workpiece are called “live” centers; those that do not are called “dead” centers.
- computer numerical control ( CNC)
computer numerical control ( CNC)
Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.
- hardness
hardness
Hardness is a measure of the resistance of a material to surface indentation or abrasion. There is no absolute scale for hardness. In order to express hardness quantitatively, each type of test has its own scale, which defines hardness. Indentation hardness obtained through static methods is measured by Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers and Knoop tests. Hardness without indentation is measured by a dynamic method, known as the Scleroscope test.
- metrology
metrology
Science of measurement; the principles on which precision machining, quality control and inspection are based. See precision machining, measurement.
- statistical process control ( SPC)
statistical process control ( SPC)
Statistical techniques to measure and analyze the extent to which a process deviates from a set standard.
