New Absolute Angle Encoders Offer Functional Safety
The RCN Series of angle encoders from Heidenhain offer many benefits such as having greater mounting tolerances, optimized new scanning, and evaluation electronics with diagnostic functions, plug-in cables with quick disconnect at the encoder, and a variety of hollow shaft diameters.
Check Topography During Multi-Step Grinding/Polishing Operations
Mahr Federal introduces the Marsurf lD 130/260 aspheric high-precision 2D/3D measuring station for measuring spherical and aspherical lenses, as well as many types of cylinder lenses, lens mounts, housings, and other mechanical components.
Measure Absolute Position on Long Machine Tool Axes
The LC 200 standard-setting absolute linear encoder from Heidenhain is now available with a Mitsubishi interface and system accuracy of ±5 µm.
Resource Kit to Aid Decision Making About SPC Technology
A free download of its new Easy SPC Resource Kit from Hertzler Systems is available to manufacturing executives who want a better understanding about how new statistical process control technology can benefit their operations.
Revolutionary New Touchmeasure CMM Software
TouchDMIS™ from Next Metrology Software is the first full-feature CMM software with intuitive touch interface and one-touch measuring capabilites.
Unique CMM for High Volume Production or Single Part Inspection
This budget CMM with Touch Screen Software from Coord3 Metrology finally makes coordinate metrology simple with a unique ‘half-gantry’ advanced alloy design that has its X and Y axis at the same level, providing increased rigidity and offers an outstanding metrology platform for high accuracy small and medium part CMM inspection.
Laser Tracker Probing System for Large Scale Fabrications
The handheld Leica B-Probe from Hexagon Metrology is ideal for the inspection, alignment and assembly of large scale fabrications such as railway coaches, construction and off-highway vehicles or agricultural machinery.
Monitoring Software Provides Instant Inspection Status Updates, Speeds Re-Mastering Process
The Equator comparative gauging system from Renishaw process monitoring software displays measurement results of inspected features, as well as the measurement history of each feature, instantly via a monitoring window added to the shop-floor user interface.
