Marposs Corp.'s new P3dME electronic gage amplifier is for post-process monitoring of smooth and grooved parts. This device, in conjunction with Marposs measuring heads, is a flexible, practical and reliable solution for checking parts immediately after they have been machined.

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.

The L.S. Starrett Co. has introduced a range of digital electronic Indicators conforming to true AGD (American Gage Design) Group 1 dimensions, providing the ability to replace traditional mechanical indicating applications in the smallest AGD size specification class. Starrett 2700 electronic indicators are the first digital gages to match true AGD Group 1 dimensions (1.70"/ 43mm diameter).

Mahr Inc. introduces the MarSurf CM series of Optical 3D surface metrology systems for industry and research applications. The new MarSurf CM’s innovative confocal technology with high-precision 16-bit HDR technology delivers high-resolution 3D surface topography data, enabling new insights into surface structures and processing. Rugged construction, robust technology and results that conform to international standards ensure optimal results in a variety of applications.

The new Beta LaserMike Z-Mike Pro from NDC Technologies is the next evolution of the off-line part measurement system for metrology applications. The new Z-Mike Pro sports sleek, modern styling and is ready for service under Industry 4.0 with expanded connectivity, communication and control capabilities.

The requirement for strict specification and acceptance of all automotive parts and components has greatly increased in recent years. Screw thread inspection is no exception. The common practice of eddy current probes, lasers, proximity sensors or vision systems are only partly successful as they only inform you of the presence of a thread, not if it's correct or within tolerance. The unique low-cost SMAC solution enables you to automatically check various screw thread parameters.

Mitutoyo America Corp. announces the release of the new M2 2D Processor. The M2 2D Processor will be available as part of a new package with the PH-A14 comparator.

ZOLLER Inc. introduces the new ZOLLER »venturion«, a premium presetting and measuring machine for all kinds of tools. The »venturion« is made from the finest components to ensure ZOLLER users have a reliable machine to preset and measure all their tools for years to come.

Pinpoint Laser Systems announces the release of its latest laser alignment accessory, the 2-Inch Transparent Receiver, for receiving laser signals to achieve machinery and equipment alignment.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Inc. has added the Dyna Contact to its product offering. The ceramic taper gage allows inspection of machine spindle tapers at a glance.

Tobii Pro announces a new analytical tool: Tobii Pro VR Analystics, which allows eye-tracking studies to be conducted within 3D virtual reality (VR) environments. The tool integrates into Unity environments and comes with automated features for visualizing and measures what a user sees, their interactions and navigations within a simulated world.

Uniform color means high quality and therefore is an essential QC criterion. The spectro2guide spectrophotometer from BYK-Gardner represents the next step in the evolution of color measurement.

QVI (Quality Vision International) announces its newest precision optical instruments for measuring shafts and other cylindrical parts – QVI TurnCheck. QVI TurnCheck systems address the major sources of measurement uncertainty found in shaft measurement today, by focusing on advanced optics, thermal stability and ease of use.

Metrologic Group and Creaform have entered into a partnership in which Creaform integrates Metrologic Group’s software suite with its new CUBE-R 3D automated dimensional inspection solution. This laser scanning, all-in-one solution features Metrologic Group’s advanced 3D measurement programming and inspection software packages, Silma and Metrolog X4 i-Robot, and combines efficiency and reliability of robotization in an automated industrial measuring cell.
