The evolving technology of tool presetting
A close look at the evolving technology of tool presetting.
Advancements in digital vision systems make measuring parts simpler, more repeatable
The biggest benefit a digital vision system provides is the machine's ability to automatically measure parts, whereas the human operator influences a manual analog measurement device, such as an optical comparator.
CAD/CAM software for ultraprecision machining
The primary application for ultraprecision machining is optical-grade surfaces for injection molds, which are used to make contact lenses, LEDs for TVs and head-up displays in military aircraft and luxury cars.
Speedy Comparison: Inspection Efficiency
Alan Richter takes a Look Ahead at an automated part-to-CAD verification system for a digital optical comparator.
Simplifying micromeasurement: General Industry Coverage
END USER: Rohde & Schwarz, (888) 837-8772, www.rohde-schwarz.us. CHALLENGE: Simplify and speed up measurement of micro parts and features. SOLUTION: Optical 3-D measurement system that employs focus-variation technology. SOLUTION PROVIDER: Alicona Imaging GmbH, (630) 372-9900, www.alicona.com
Demanding optical load: General Industry Coverage
Look Ahead features an on-demand, integrated adaptive control
Guided by mirrors: General Industry Coverage
One of the Look Ahead items in the September issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine features a robotic fiber laser machine without a working optical fiber in which the laser beam is integrated in the robot.
Seeing the light: CMM Inspection
Auto parts manufacturer Mann+Hummel reaps the benefits of optical scanning.
Measuring the ‘real’ edge contour
Achieve a higher accuracy and resolution when measuring cutting tools and components. An optical 3-D measurement system.
µCMM Optical Coordinate Measuring System
So far, geometries such as the bore holes of injection valves in the automotive industry, for example, could hardly be measured optically. Lateral probing of components with vertical surfaces was limited to tactile measuring systems, CT solutions or complex special solutions. This changes with a new function of the optical coordinate measuring system µCMM from Bruker Alicona. Vertical surfaces of more than 90° can now also be measured optically.
SmartScope M-Series
At the core of M-Series systems is the patented* IntelliCentric-M Optical System which features fixed optics with a 20-megapixel camera and proprietary Virtual Zoom. Built from the ground up at OGP headquarters in Rochester, NY, the streamlined IntelliCentric-M optics employ a variety of exclusive technologies allowing for instant magnification changes throughout the same zoom range as a traditional mechanical zoom system, resulting in faster runtime while requiring far less downtime for maintenance.
Surface Measure 1008S
The Surface Measure 1008S aims to disrupt the surface measurement processes across a wide range of industries, offering unprecedented precision and accuracy, even with in-line and near-line shop floor applications. The SM1008S leverages a propriety Mitutoyo optical system alongside our traditional sensor technology to deliver versatile performance that includes 2D profile measurements and comprehensive 3D dimensional inspections.n
