Inspection & Metrology Equipment

Hexagon Metrology offers the Sheffield 4.5.4 SF, a new line of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) built for the shop floor and designed to withstand harsh manufacturing environments.

Hexagon Metrology announced the North American debut of its new ROMER Absolute Arm series.

Distinguishing itself by its flat design, no integral bearing and very small scanning head, HEIDENHAIN's newest angle encoder is now being introduced to the marketplace.

Kistler has announced the availability of its piezoelectric accelerometer technologies for cost-effective, high-accuracy support of aircraft, helicopter, rotorcraft, missile, satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) ground vibration testing (GVT), as well as large-scale MIMO and SIMO aerospace structural monitoring.

Kistler has introduced the Type 9129A, a three-component system, designed to offer high-precision measurements of cutting tool machinery forces of up to 8 kN, when turning outside and inside turret lathe diameters, in support of critical manufacturing process monitoring requirements.

The new Jenoptik Wavemove automated surface roughness and contour measuring system includes up to seven CNC axes for complete high-accuracy measurement and evaluation of complex shaft or prismatic parts such as automotive crankshaft, cylinder heads, engine blocks, transmission housings, and more on the production floor, close to manufacturing processes.

In the world of high-precision metrology, all parts are elastic, which means they will deform to some extent under applied force, even if only by a few millionths of an inch. But certain parts, like thin-walled bearing rings, deform much more readily than others, to the point where it is extremely difficult for quality control technicians to obtain accurate measurements of their undeformed size. In other applications, such as precision balls and spheres, standards call for reporting size in an undeformed state, which frequently calls for a theoretical calculation. Now Mahr provides the capability to measure such parts in their undeformed state as a standard feature on their Precimar PLM 600-2 high precision length measuring systems.

Hexagon Metrology has launched the Brown & Sharpe 4.5.4 SF, the latest generation of shop floor coordinate measuring machines (CMMs).

Hexagon Metrology released the Optiv Classic 321GL tp.

Titan's ScopePad-200 is an all-in-one camera andtablet computer that can turn any microscope into a videoscope, according tothe company.

The new absolute LC 115 and LC 415 sealed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN are now available for use on machines with measuring lengths up to 4240mm.

Kwik Mark Inc.'s KT 5-C attachment is designed to handle larger and heavier cylindrical or multi-sided parts.
