Inspection & Metrology Equipment

The O-INSPECT line from Carl Zeiss is growing: the O-INSPECT 322 coordinate measuring machine is now available. It is the smallest system with which Carl Zeiss is expanding the range of applications of its coordinate measuring machines.

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.

Sunnen Products Co. announces the availability of optional, large-readout electronic indicators on its entire range of dial bore gages.

The new Luxxor Portable Video Camera (LPC) quickly and easily attaches to any Hawkeye Rigid or Flexible Borescope, and most other major borescope brands as well.

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.

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.
