Metrology Systems for Precision Measurement of Parts and Assemblies
The latest precision dimensional measurement machines and software from QVI includes metrology systems that combine proprietary optical, laser, and contact sensors for precision measurement of manufactured components and assemblies.
Roughness and Optical Shaft Measurement, Wireless Capabilities
Mahr Federal features advanced dimensional metrology and gaging capabilities in their MarSurf PS 10 Roughness Measuring Unit, MarShaft SCOPE 250 plus, and their extensive wireless data transmission processes.
Diameter Measurement Gage: On-Machine Accuracy and Repeatability
Do you need to check the size of your turned parts while still on a lathe, grinder or other machining center? The Diameter Measurement Gage model DMG360 from ABTech is ideal for precisely measuring the diameter of very large parts with high accuracy using the current machine setup, without removing the part or needing to sweep with a beam gage.
Measurement of Complex Parts on the Digitized Shop Floor
The Revolution Series LM coordinate measuring machine from AIMS Metrology can triple productivity with infinite positioning and 5-axis motion that delivers true high precision 5-axis measurement smoother and faster, collecting data on complex features at a rate of 4,000 points per second.
CMM Accuracy in the Most Extreme Manufacturing Environments
The Xtreme CNC coordinate measuring machine from Aberlink uses a non-Cartesian structure, linear motors and mechanical bearings to maintain accuracy at very fast measurement rates without suffering from accumulative inaccuracies that can occur in conventional three-axis Cartesian machines.
Place-and-Press Inspection Systems
Keyence features their XM-1200 Handheld Probe CMM, a 3D measurement system that bridges the gap between hand tools and CMMs. Also on display will be their IM-7000 Instant Measurement System and the VHX-6000 Digital Microscope.
In-Process Grinding Gauge for Smooth Part Monitoring
The flat, compact P1dME gauge amplifier from Marposs mounts inside the operator panel of any grinding machine or as a stand-alone unit for continuous measurement that assures part production stays within tolerance and the machining cycle is optimized based on the amount of stock being removed.
Easy, Fast and Precise 3D Measurement for Wide-Ranging Tasks
The COMET L3D 2 sensor from Zeiss quickly delivers precise 3D data of components even in difficult ambient conditions, automatically recognizes changes in vibration and exposure, and offers high-end technology for exceptional data quality with maximum ease of use.
