Measurement
Low-Cost, Production-Oriented CMM
The Phoenix RB is a shop-hardened CMM for small- and medium-sized parts. With a capacity of 12″ × 12″ × 10″, the system complements the larger Phoenix (20″ × 16″ × 14″) and features bearing, way, and scale protection for shop use. The scales are metal-on-steel structures assuring uniform thermal response.

Dimensional Metrology Systems Delivers Consistent Measurements
The expanded SmartScope ZIP family of multi-sensor CNC dimensional measurement systems is available in various sizes for a range of applications. The systems use crisp-imaging zoom optics for non-contact video measurement of manufactured parts. The AccuCentric 7:1 motorized zoom lens auto-calibrates with every magnification change for consistent measurements.
Read MoreDigital Ultrasonic Flaw Detectors
The Epoch 1000 series digital ultrasonic flaw detectors combine high performance for conventional portable flaw detection with the power of phased array imaging. The Epoch 1000, 1000iR and 1000i provide conventional ultrasound capabilities for both the standard and advanced-level inspector. The portable instruments can also be integrated into small systems for high speed scanning and single-channel imaging.
Read MoreMeasuring Microscope Designed For Accuracy, Durability
The MM-200 measuring microscope is designed for the general manufacturing, automotive and electronics industries. The compact, easy-to-use microscope features high quality, accuracy and durability, the company says. The built-in digital measuring stage and DRO attach directly to the arm, which reduces the footprint by 50 percent.
Read MoreProbing Beyond Prismatic
This manufacturer has used on-machine probing to help automate setups and maintain process control for prismatic parts produced on VMCs for years. The metrology products maker recently implemented probing strategies that let it achieve similar results on its turn-mills and Swiss-types. The smaller, more economical batch sizes these machines now produce are better aligned with true production requirements.

By combining an optical sensor and a touch probe, the F25 CMM from Carl Zeiss enables users to use the same machine platform to perform metrology operations on a variety of miniature parts.
Read MoreVision System Brings On-Machine Measurement To Ram EDM
Vision technology tailored to ram EDM allows shops to measure a part as it remains fixtured on a spark-erosion machine.
Read MoreCompact Gaging System Allows In-Process Inspection On Small Grinding Machines
This new gaging system not only is compact enough to install on small grinding machines, but also can measure a part’s OD, ID and length to sub-micron accuracy.
Read MoreLaser On Multi-Sensor Inspection Systems Works In Deep Slots
A new laser system gives multi-sensor measurement equipment more flexibility. This system improves the equipment's ability to measure deep recesses and features with high walls.
Read MoreOptical Twin Probe System
An integrated probing system enables the installation of both tool setting and part inspection probes onto machine tools using a single wireless interface unit. The Mida Optical Twin Probe System, which incorporates a compact, tube-type optical receiver interface (ORI), is said to simplify probing applications, especially in situations where connecting cables proves to be difficult, such as installations on machines with rotary tables or dual pallets. This combination is said to facilitate the speedy measurement of tool length and diameter, breakage detection and part setup and inspection times.
