Metrology software has challenges in most application environments, and LK Metrology's new 8.5 version of its CAMIO coordinate measuring machine software has a range of new features to help meet those challenges.

Mitutoyo America Corp. announces the release of the LSM-6902H Laser Scan Micrometer to its sensor systems product line. The LSM-6902H Laser Scan Micrometer noncontact, high-accuracy measurement system is an excellent option for measuring pin gages or plug gages.

New from Laser Marking Technologies LLC is the Cobalt XD. This large format machine features a proprietary technology that utilizes a revolutionary digital galvo marking head with a third optical axis. By utilizing this technology, it allows the machine to mark in a continuous 20" x 20" marking field without any moving stages or moving any parts.

MarkinBOX has released a new battery-operated, cordless part marker called Patmark. With a lithium-ion battery and charger, plus a software app that connects to your device via Wi-Fi, you can get a clean and clear mark without a cord.

As the technology leader for high-precision laser scan systems, SCANLAB GmbH introduces an additional variant of its entry-level basiCube scan head. This new basiCube model's SL2-100 interface now allows direct control by RTC5 boards. Execution of highly elaborate laser jobs and more complex graphics is thus possible for laser marking, subsurface glass engraving or similar applications.

The OLFA XH-AL is designed with a cushioned rubber grip on a chemical-resistant handle for long lasting use. It features a stainless steel blade channel that extends the full length of the knife to support heavy-duty cutting for industrial materials such as gaskets, flexible conduit, belt synthetics, rope, laminates, plastics, fiberglass and rubber.

Mitutoyo America Corp. announces the release of the DP-1VA Digimatic data logger and printer to its data management systems product line. The DP-1VA will replace the DP-1VR.

Toshiba America Information Systems' (TAIS) Imaging Systems Division introduces a small, digital video borescope with illumination, the SV-1000. The small, water-resistant chip-on-tip inspection camera measures only 1.6 mm diam. and features an integrated LED light for illumination within the 1.9-meter flexible shaft.

The Mitutoyo Institute of Metrology now provides free online standards-based calibration video training with the opportunity to earn certified credentials in dimensional calibration – a first of its kind in the U.S. The online training videos are available for free with no obligation for testing.

The L.S. Starrett Co. has announced the introduction of its Digi-Check Height Masters with electronic digital readout. The new Digi-Check No. 258 Series Height Masters combine the accuracy of Starrett-Webber Gage Blocks with a precision micrometer head and digital readout display.

Renishaw has launched a new encoder family for linear axes, which offers exceptionally wide installation tolerances and axis speeds of up to 24 meters per second. The QUANTiC encoder series produces a digital signal output directly from the readhead and eliminates the requirement for additional bulky external interfaces.
