With the introduction of the MarSurf XR 1 surface measuring system, Mahr has bridged the gap between portable surface measuring devices and larger, full-featured, PC-based surface measurement and evaluation systems.

Mahr Federal Inc. has added a new MarConnect Integrated Wireless data transmission system to its family of MarCator Digital Indicators at prices that compete with typical wired systems.

The new VAST XTR gold probe from Carl Zeiss enables flexible and highly accurate measurements in industrial measuring, thus considerably increasing productivity and flexibility for operators.

Feed units in machine tools, assembly lines and handling applications often require fast deep plunges into large workspaces. Combined with the increasingly fast cycle times of production machines, this places especially high demands on the axis mechanics in automated processes. Rexroth's new linear motion system, the "Omega Module," addresses this need by featuring a very low traveling mass so that top speeds can be reached.

HEIDENHAIN's new LC 200 linear scale sets new standards in linear measurement on long machine-tool axes.

To enhance the load carrying efficiency of Uhing traverse drives and to prevent them from slipping, Amacoil has announced the availability of a linear bearing slide load carrier.

Klingelnberg was prominent in bringing high-precision measurement machines from the test room onto the shop floor, thus essentially propelling the realization of efficiency concepts in manufacturing lines. Now, the company has implemented an own assembly line for five series of precision measuring centers in Hueckeswagen, Germany. The logistics concept was developed and implemented by STROTHMANN.

Mitutoyo America Corp. announces availability of the new Surftest SJ-310 surface roughness tester.

Mitutoyo America Corp. announces availability of Contracer CV-3200/4500 Series contour measuring systems.

I-Mark H Series from Columbia Marking Tools is a combination bench-top/handheld dot peen system that is easily programmable and marks metal, plastic or wooden parts at high speed (up to 4 characters per second).

Gravograph offers an Automatic Plate Feeder (APF) accessory that increases the productivity of Gravograph LS100, LS100EX, IS400, M40 laser and rotary engraving marking systems.

The TFG20 gantry enclosure is Technifor's latest laser marking solution.
