Inspection & Metrology Equipment

The Surface Measure 1008S aims to disrupt the surface measurement processes across a wide range of industries, offering unprecedented precision and accuracy, even with in-line and near-line shop floor applications.

Thomson miniature metric ball screws accomplish this with a unique multi-liner return system that maximizes the number of circuits and loaded balls in the nut. A miniature metric system with a multi-liner return system, for example, deploys 168 balls in eight circuits to support 7.6 kN of static load, as compared to a single-liner design, which would use 84 balls in four circuits to support only 4.2 kN.

When implementing design improvements to the ALTERA C HA, particular attention was paid to upgrading the moving bridge. The spread of the air bearings supporting the main drive leg has been widened to increase the stiffness of the bridge assembly by 17 percent overall, which is particularly beneficial during high-speed movements.

TraceBoss+ software interfaces with most portable surface roughness gages. A user can take a measurement, view the results and graphics full screen, save data, and reload it for comparison and statistical process control. It reports most common roughness parameters, showing at a glance whether a surface passes or fails user-provided limits.

Effectively streamlining first article inspection requires more than a wireless data transfer system.

The Marposs OptoCloud Gear helps EV manufacturers maintain quality and minimize noise.

Technomark's Graphix laser workstation holds all in a single cabinet creating a small footprint.

ARCH Cutting Tools highlighted its RECON360 service program at its booth during Westec 2023 in Long Beach, California.

The W643JZ depth gage features a knife edge base and a needle point contact that has been hardened and ground. The conical point which is 1/2" long with a 40-degree angle can be precisely positioned for close work due to a cutout on the knife base.

The L-703SP System is 30-40% faster than electronic levels, more rugged and reliable, and more repeatable from one tech to the next. In addition, the L-703SP is set up directly on surface plates, so each line segment setup is much easier than autocollimators and laser interferometers, which require floor mounting and touchy setups.

Suited for a wide variety of industrial applications, the MarCal 18 EWR(i) digital caliper alleviates the complexities associated with accurate measurements of large/heavy parts, ultimately enhancing overall measurement precision. The tool is particularly useful for roaming quality inspectors who need to measure parts that are too challenging to be brought to a stationary gaging station/bench.

The standard Model FX-3 features a built-in 1X objective lens and extra-wide field 10X eyepiece. All lenses are hard-coated and include built-in color correction for enhanced image quality. Optional objectives, such as 0.5X, 1.5X, and 2X, can be purchased separately for different magnifications, as well as an optional 20X eyepiece and both 10X and 20X crosshair eyepieces.
