The L.S. Starrett Company, a manufacturer of precision metrology systems, measuring tools, gages and more, has announced it will be featuring the automated inspection capabilities of its metrology and force measurement systems, and will also highlight custom gaging solutions at Eastec 2023 in booth 3244.

Starrett’s video-based measurement systems combine high-resolution images, intuitive software and precision mechanical platforms to provide accurate, repeatable measurement results. Automatic edge detection, or video edge detection, locates edges of parts being measured, enabling go/no-go comparisons to an engineering design, with no need for Mylar overlays. This is said to increase measurement throughput while eliminating operator subjectivity.

Starrett will demonstrate pattern recognition and automated inspection on several metrology systems at Eastec including: the AVR300 Multi-Sensor Vision System, featuring the largest field of view (FOV) to date for Starrett and ideal for repetitive measurements and automatic comparison to CAD files; the HDV Horizontal Digital Video Comparator, which combines the features of vision and optical comparator technology; and the HD400 Horizontal Dual Lens Comparator, which offers a two-lens mount that enables instant switching between two magnification lenses or video camera adapters.

Starrett will also showcase its Force Testing Systems, highlighting architecture that enables the range of Starrett force and material testing software programs to be compatible with its different test frames. At Eastec, Starrett will demonstrate its FMS Series test frame featuring a new Long-Range Extensometer that calculates elongation based on the overall distance moved. This fixture provides a long travel distance, critical for rubber and elastomer applications. Also featured will be the Starrett FMM Computer-Based Force Testing Solution, which is compact and ideal for high volume, lean manufacturing production. Starrett’s L1 software for quality control and incoming inspection will be demonstrated on the FMM frame.
