Automation and Metrology
To remain competitive, more shops are searching for ways to better utilize their quality workforce and supplement them with automation. But Ken Myers of Mitutoyo America explains that what automating metrology means to one person might not mean the same to another.
Automated Surface Finish Measurement Reduces Part Handling
The SFP2 probe automates surface finish measurement for higher throughput on the Revolution Series LM from AIMS.
Blum-Novotest Appoints New Regional Managers
Brian Morris manages sales and service in the Southwest U.S. while Andrew Nichols manages the Midwest.
Faster Inspection of Stamped, Molded or Machined Parts
Altera high-speed CMMs from LK Metrology are ideal for high-speed tactile probe scanning and laser scanner applications of performance-critical components for automotive, aerospace and other applications.
Faster Inspections of Welds and Stress Corrosion Cracking
The MagnaFORM scanner from Olympus is a fast, reliable way to reduce the turnaround time of weld inspection and stress corrosion cracking inspections on the roughest welds and corroded surfaces, saving time and reducing inspection costs.
Compact, Highly Repeatable Radio Probe for Small 5-Axis Machine Tools
The ultra-compact RMP400 strain gauge probe from Renishaw delivers reliable, precise touch-trigger part setting, feature measurement and machine performance checking.
Radio Transmission Scanning Probe for Real-Time On-Machine Part Measurement
The WRSP60 high accuracy scanning probe from Marposs checks part profiles, misalignment, surface deformation, runout and more directly on machining centers and milling machines in real-time without any handling to improve the process and optimize cycle time.
Coating Thickness Gauge with Scan Probes for Fast Readings
For field-based dry film coating thickness measurement on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates, the Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gauge with Scan Probes from Elcometer can do 140 readings per minute.
Heidenhain Appoints New CEO
David Doyle will succeed the retiring Rick Korte on October 1.
Redefining the Rules of Aerospace Machine Part Measurement
For high precision 5-axis machining centers and milling machines used in aerospace, aeronautics, die and mold, and biomedical applications, WRP60P and WRP45P high accuracy touch probes with multichannel radio transmission from Marposs use automatic detection of machine axes position to achieve part positioning, work piece orientation, origin identification, and accurate part measurement.
Instant and Automatic Digital Dimensional Measurement of Large, Bulky Complex Parts
The SNAP 350 large-area automatic digital dimensional measuring system from RAM Optical Instrumentation offers up to a 100 mm field of view to measure large complex parts with critical details or numerous small parts instantly and automatically without programming.
Heidenhain Executive Receives Award
