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 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.
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.
Now there's a fast and easy way to setup work pieces for machining at three common angles. Using Kurt's new Sine Parallels, rectangle parts can be clamped precisely and quickly at 30 degrees, 45 degrees and 60 degree angles.
ETREMA Products Inc., a leading supplier of magnetostrictive materials such as Terfenol-D, has recently installed a Lucifer Furnaces High Temperature GT furnace in its Ames, Iowa facility.
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.
Northfield Precision Instrument Corp. explains how mounting a set of four Model 450 custom-designed air chucks on the customer's machine improves finishing efficiency.
