Inspection & Metrology Equipment

Vision Engineering announces the launch of the Swift PRO series, noncontact measurement systems designed to deliver fast and accurate 2- and 3-axis measurements. The Swift PRO series includes Swift PRO Duo, Swift PRO Cam and Swift PRO Elite.

Sensofar Metrology has announced a new addition to their high-end noncontact 3D surface metrology systems, the »Five Axis«. The new 3D optical profiler combines a high-accuracy rotational module and a high-resolution translation platform, together with advanced inspection and analysis capabilities.

The Hommel-Etamic Toposcan is a system used for measuring the surface of cylinder bores larger then 60mm in diameter. The Toposcan is capable of automatically measuring the size of porosity and blow holes, stroke reversal radius, laser pocket structures, roughness of bore walls, torn and folded metal and cross-hatch angles.

Phillips Precision Inc. Products Div. announces the latest in the uniquely designed, LEAN Inspection Arsenal product line - Modular Tower System for CMM inspection. Like other uniquely designed products of the Inspection Arsenal, the modular fixture tower has features and benefits exceeding others on the market, according to the company.

Third Dimension says its laser measurement system, GapGun, has proved so valuable to quality inspection at Bombardier they have bought additional GapGuns for use on two London rail services. Bombardier is using GapGun to assist quality inspection for the production of 66 train carriages - on order for Transport for London's Elizabeth line service - and is now planning to use the system on 45 carriages for the LoTrain project for London Overground.

A new bore gage setting tool from Mahr Inc. makes setting up adjustable indicating instruments, such as Mahr's 844 N adjustable bore gage and 844 T universal ID/OD gage, quick and accurate. The Multimar 844 S bore gage setting tool uses gage block combinations and a simple hand clamping mechanism to set instruments in either the horizontal or vertical position.

The Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence Composite Inspection System comprises HP-C-V3D Apodius Vision Sensor hardware – designed to fit to a ROMER Absolute Arm with Integrated Scanner – together with a custom-built Apodius Explorer 3D software package.

Laser Technology Inc. has released its next-generation laser sensor, the TruSense S300. As a continuation of the S200 series product line, the S300 is an S-family sensor created specifically to measure fluids and liquids.

Mahr wireless data transmission capability is now integrated within its new digital micrometer Micromar 40 EWRi. The new 40 EWRi is the latest addition to Mahr's Integrated wireless family of products, including digital calipers, Indicators and depth gages.

22 years since the inception of the ModelMaker product line, the cutting-edge ModelMaker H120 firmly pushes the ever-exacting boundaries of hand-held laser scanning, Nikon Metrology says. Incorporating blue laser technology, ultrafast frame rate, specially developed Nikon optics and the ability to measure the most challenging materials, this represents the next generation of portable laser scanning.

The new SRP 5000 angular positioning system from HEIDENHAIN incorporates its high accuracy MRP 5000 angle encoder with accomplished bearing technology along with a unique ETEL torque motor with ultralow detent torque. This combination allows for high stiffness with low cost of ownership and can easily replace rotary air bearing systems used for metrology.

GEORG offers an integrated two-point measurement system for horizontal machining centers of its ultraturn MC series. These machines process workpieces weighing 10 tons and more and with diameters of 1,000 mm upwards.
