Inspection & Metrology Equipment

The ForceMaster spindle drawbar pull-force tester from Rego-Fix tests proper machine tool spindle drawbar pull-force, which is an important aspect of overall spindle preventive maintenance and performance. With more than a dozen available adapters, ForceMaster works on virtually any machine tool spindle interface.

Gi-300 inspection systems from General Inspection, LLC feature laser gauging, on-track vision and super eddy-current. Laser gauging ensures comprehensive dimensional analysis and precise measurements of OD features, including lengths, diameters, radii, and threads. An integrated precision multi-laser velocity gauge ensures accurate and repeatable length measurements.n

This VisionLab-150 3D Fastener Gauging System from General Inspection LLC. features patented 3D gaging technology that the company says provides complete part dimensional inspection in less than 5 seconds. The machine can perform 360-degree dimensional inspection with detailed data reporting, plus options to provide 360-degree visual defect detection, end-view inspection, and measure recess depth and recess concentricity.

Werner Lueken of ZOLLER introduces their latest CNC tool‑inspection system, unveiled during the company's 80th‑anniversary celebration in Ann Arbor.

Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence's Autonomous Metrology Suite, which was developed on Hexagon's cloud-based Nexus platform, is designed to transform quality control across manufacturing industries worldwide. By removing coding from CMM workflows, the company says it helps manufacturers speed-up critical R&D and manufacturing processes as experienced metrologists become harder to find.

The Gi-100DT inspection system from General Inspection LLC is equipped with a total of six cameras providing complete dimensional inspection, internal and external visual defect detection, and top and bottom surface inspection for a full range of turned aerospace collars. For dimensional inspection, three cameras, one positioned from the side, one from the bottom and one from the top measures all profile features including threads, lengths, diameters, and angles. In addition to the dimensional inspection, the Gi-100DT detects surface defects on the top and bottom using three additional cameras to detect internal and external visual defects (360 degrees without part rotation). The surface defects include dents, scratches, chatter, pitting, and chips.

Transforming quality inspection with high-speed, connected measurement workflows, Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division has launched the Maestro, an all-new, next-generation coordinate measuring machine (CMM) engineered from the ground up to meet the rising productivity demands of modern manufacturing.
