Measuring & Inspection Systems

Novacam Technologies has introduced a noncontact probe with a 0.02” (0.5 mm) diameter. Designed to be used with either Novacam TubeInspect or BoreInspect 3D metrology systems, this ultrathin fiber-based probe reaches inside to measure tubes, bores and other hard-to-reach spaces with IDs as small as 0.04” (1 mm).

Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division announced the launch of the new 360° FMC-Tracker, a flexible measurement cell powered by the "absolute accuracy" of the Leica Absolute Tracker AT960 and the Leica T-Scan 5 laser scanner. Designed to measure mid-to-large sized parts, manufacturers can utilize the in-line, near-line or off-line options of the 360° FMC-Tracker for automated measurement productivity.

QVI Fusion systems are innovative measurement tools that combine a large field of view (LFOV) optical system with available touch probe, laser and microsensors to produce a family of uniquely productive metrology systems. The new Fusion 350 is designed to characterize large parts or groups of small parts that primarily require 2D measurement.

API’s updated series of Radian laser trackers includes three models: Radian Core, Radian Plus and Radian Pro.

DWFritz Automation introduces Zero-Touch, a recently patented noncontact multipurpose metrology platform. Zero-Touch is a highly configurable system that simultaneously captures multiple 3D dimensional measurements in a fraction of time compared to traditional coodinate measuring machines.

Digital Metrology Solutions Inc., have announced the release of OmniSurf3D for 3D surface texture visualization and analysis. The new software provides a suite of 3D surface analysis tools that can be quickly mastered by non-metrology experts, as well as advanced users.

Eight years after the launch of the first ROMER Absolute Arm, Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has unveiled its new Absolute Arm range. A ground-up redesign has seen one of the world’s most recognizable portable measuring arms modernized to meet the needs of today’s metrology users, with a key focus on improved usability and versatility without compromising on speed and accuracy.

Vision Engineering has announced the general availability of its brand new class of TVM Field of View (FOV) video measurement systems. TVM combines a small footprint, with larger system performance and ease of use. Time-saving instant FOV measurements and a moving stage allow larger components to be measured quickly and easily.
