Inspection & Metrology Equipment

EXAIR's new Hot Tap Digital Flowmeters allow installation when compressed air piping is under pressure. By eliminating the need to isolate and remove pressure from the pipe, these compressed air flowmeters reduce installation time while maintaining safety.

The new NC4+ Blue system is designed to help machine shops across many industries

The API Swivelcheck instrument measures and calibrates machine tool rotary axes, tilt tables and pendulum axes. Swivelcheck utilizes a servo-driven motor in conjunction with an electronic level and precision rotary encoder to measure multiple parameters in a single setup.

Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division announced the availability of the latest version of the Global S HTA (high throughput and accuracy) solution for the aerospace industry, which brings major enhancements to Hexagon's high-speed, non-contact compressor blade measurement system. It builds on the performance strength of the GLOBAL S HTA's predecessor, which delivered a cycle time that was between two and five times faster than traditional tactile measurement.

The ability to peer inside machined parts allows metrologists to make better decisions faster.

Machine tool programmers and engineers that utilize Renishaw's GoProbe macros could save significant time and labor with the use of Mitsubishi Electric Automation Inc.'s Interactive Cycle Insertion screens on its M8 Series of CNCs. They can use the Interactive Cycle Insertion screens to integrate Renishaw GoProbe macros directly into their CNC.

Vision Engineering Inc. has launched the LVC400, a fully automated 3-axis video measurement system. Suitable for measuring large components or multiple small components, quickly, easily and accurately, LVC400 offers faster measurement and high accuracy levels.

Vision Engineering's DRV (Deep Reality Viewer) digital 3D stereoscopic display technology creates stereo high-definition 3D images without using a monitor or requiring operators to wear headsets or specialist glasses because images "float" in front of a mirror.

SICK is launching its newest safety laser scanner, outdoorScan3. It is the first safety laser scanner certified to IEC 62998 for use in outdoor applications.

The unique shape of Palmgren's electric hand grinders provide exceptional control with less operator fatigue.

Columbia Marking Tools Inc. has pioneered the application development of many of the marking processes used in manufacturing today, including enhanced versions of dot-peen marking, low-stress dot-peen marking, impact marking, roll marking, laser marking and now scribe marking.

Until now fabricators conducting surface finish measurements have had to use hand-held sensors or move a part to a dedicated measuring machine. To help companies reclaim lost production time, AIMS Metrology has equipped its Revolution Series LM coordinate measuring machine with a Renishaw 5-axis REVO 2 head and the new SFP2 probe. Because the SFP2 is interchangeable with other probe options, it gives manufacturers the flexibility to inspect a diverse range of features on one CMM.
