Starrett Appoints New VP of Metrology Systems
David Allen has been tapped to lead the high-end metrology businesses for the Athol, Mass., manufacturer.
Optical Inspection of Cylinder Bore Surfaces
The Hommel-Etamic Toposcan system from Jenoptik can automatically measure the size of porosity and blow holes, stroke reversal radius, laser pocket structures, roughness of bore walls, torn and folded metal and cross-hatch angles.
Welding Cameras in a Narrow Gap
An XVC-1000/1100 or XVC-1000e/1100e camera from Xiris can be positioned on the leading or trailing edge of the weld, lined up straight with the groove edges, with free adjustment of the vertical angle.
Optical Seam Tracking Manages Critical Welding Concerns
ABB Robotics provides 2.5D or 6D optical seam tracking to manage faster manufacturing processes by compensating for larger part tolerances and increasing material fit-up inaccuracies.
Optical Sensors for Longer Operating Distances
Ideal for Industry 4.0 manufacturing, R20x series photoelectric sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs use DuraBeam Laser and Multi-Pixel technologies for extremely precise detection and distance measurement of small objects.
Smart Camera for Process Monitoring of Machine Tools
The robust LCAM 408i smart camera from Leuze has an IP65/67 anodized metal housing and easy-to-clean glass pane that opens new monitoring possibilities in metal fabrication and machining processes.
Creating Classic Baseball Sculptures
Exact Metrology worked with artist Tom Tsuchiya to create relief figures of the 1869 Cincinnati Reds team.
Create A Community for Sharing Metalworking Automation
Using the HKP Mobile App from Haydon Kerk Pittman, technical information and other resources on linear and rotary solutions can be easily shared among colleagues and teams for automation in metalworking, inspection and material handling applications.
Xiris Adds Web Page for Weld Educators
Instructors can access whitepapers and a weld video library with over 300 videos on the use of weld cameras.
Horizontal Tool Setter with Optical Transmission
For use on vertical machining centers, the horizontal VOTS 90 deg optical probe from Marposs provides unidirectional repeatability of 1 μm that is ideal for presetting and verification of breakage, wear and integrity checks and length and diameter measurements on small cutting tools.
Measure Gears with Different Diameters Without Mechanical Retooling
For measuring flexibility on the shop floor, the M62 Flex manual bench gauge from Marposs uses a universal reference to locate each part and soft-touch engagement with the gear being measured to prevent any potential damage from contact.
High Throughput Automatic Vision Inspection of Repetitive, Larger Parts
The 3-axis AV450 Automatic Vision System from Starrett is so versatile, accurate and fast that users can cost-effectively achieve high throughput inspection of repetitive, larger parts, as well as routine quality assurance.
