Replacing Turning with Grinding
This compressor maker’s custom impeller profiles used to present a sticky machining problem. Now, the parts no longer need the wax that turning used to require.
Read MoreModular Vision Sensor Platform
LMI Technologies has developed a complete modular vision sensor platform of hardware and software components under its FireSync brand. The system is said to allow fast and easy integration of components into a scalable machine vision system along with microsecond synchronization. The platform allows the development of a single, unified design for building vision applications ranging from smart sensors to complex Web scanning systems anywhere from specification to final assembly.
Read MoreMulti-Function Counter Offers Six Operating Modes
The H7BX multi-function counter from Omron delivers simple preset and batch-counting functions as well as advanced dual counter and tachometer functions. It fits standard DIN cutouts with a front panel measuring 72 × 72 mm and a mounting depth of 100 mm. The large, six-digit, highly-visible backlit LCD display can be set to change color (red or green) when operating status changes, thus enabling operators to check output status from a distance.
Read MoreAdvanced Gaging Amplifier
Edmunds Gages has introduced the advanced data analysis measurement monitor (ADAMM) that provides air-to-electronic and LVDT-based signal conditioning, data gathering, analysis and storage in one unit. According to the company, the amplifier is designed to bridge the gap between “stop light” single element amplifiers with virtually no data retention and personal computers being used on the shop floor. This eliminates the need for individual amplifiers with separate data collectors to display, record, analyze and store measurement information.
Read MoreReduce Measurement Time
Mitutoyo’s QuantuMike line of micrometers feature improved measurement time, repeatability and accuracy as well as ergonomics. The micrometer provides accuracy at ±1 µm /0. 00005” throughout its measuring range and is also water and dust resistant.
Read MoreVideo-Based, Precision Inspection System
The Galileo KineMic from L. S. Starrett is an entry-level, modular, video-based inspection system designed for quality assurance, receiving inspection, training, manufacturing, assembly, research, documentation and a variety of other applications.
Read MoreUniversal Gear Tester
Mahr Federal introduces a Class 1 universal gear tester that provides fast, accurate analysis for a range of gear and gear tool applications on gears with ODs as large as 400 mm. The system is part of the GMX series and incorporates a four-axis PowerPC controller with automatic tailstock and high-accuracy 3D scanning probe head. The system provides a solution for both universal and specialized gear manufacturing processes.
