In the palm of his hand, Thomas Brian Renegar held two small metal objects that had changed the course of history. Twisted pieces of copper and lead, they were fragments of the bullet that ended the life of US President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963. A physical scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Renegar was not yet born when the nation was robbed of the young, charismatic leader who fought for civil rights and set America on a course for the Moon

At the 2020 CES exhibition in Las Vegas, ProovStation and BCA Group, Europe’s leading vehicle remarketing company, announced a commercial agreement to implement ProovStation inspection portals in BCA auctions and logistics compounds across Europe. The roll-out, which is planned to cover 13 countries, will commence in February. Thanks to industry-leading artificial intelligence, ProovStation portals will allow BCA to carry out a fully automated damage inspection, including underneath th

The most sensitive and high precision optical systems are made possible by the ability to produce optics with — in some instances — sub-angstrom surface roughness. The polishing processes that allow such smooth optics are enabling technologies that lead to the creation of cutting-edge and innovative end-use products. These optics are extremely demanding to fabricate, and also push metrology tools used to verify surface roughness to their limits. Many polishing techniques can be used to

Specialist engineering solutions provider Presspahn built a reputation for supplying a range of industries with materials and components for electrical insulation, thermal insulation and mica-based insulation. The company has remained ahead of the market by adopting modern manufacturing techniques driven by innovation, precision and consistency backed by low costs and minimal lead times. Inspection is a key part of Presspahn’s stringent quality control systems for its manufactured prod

The requirements regarding the surface quality of semi-finished products continue to increase. Especially the assurance of purity or desired coating properties is becoming more and more important. In many cases, the component even needs to be tested from all sides, which so far is only possible with an additional handling step, since the components are always transported on a carrier or a conveyor belt. Suitable inspection systems thus encounter two great challenges: On the one hand, the

For the longevity and safe running of ball bearings and roller bearings, it is important that these are completely are completely error-free. In order to detect production defects safely and reliably, automatic 100 % inspection directly after production, the “state of the art” solution is required. The inspection takes place automatically, without manual intervention and contactless to avoid any bearing damage. Active Inspection, a leading US system integrator for image processing syst

Achieving the qualified analysis of engineered surfaces relies upon choosing the right measurement procedure. However, choosing an appropriate strategy is not always easy because both tactile and optical procedures can often be used, and both are capable of delivering comparable results. Today, 3D measurement devices offer new insights into surface structures and processing alongside established 2D technology. The best approach depends on the specifics of the individual use case, the rela

Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has announced the launch of Captura, an entry-level optical coordinate measuring machine (CMM) that offers an intuitive and cost-effective solution for multisensor measurement of small to medium parts. Captura supports measurements using vision sensors, laser sensors and confocal sensors, and is designed to offer good price to performance ratio for the entry-level market. The basic machine is supplied with a vision sensor and can be expand

The L.S. Starrett Company has recently expanded the horizontal X-axis travel on its HB400 Benchtop Optical Comparator from 300mm to 400mm (12″ to 16″), providing users the versatility to measure larger parts on its workstage. Available with optical edge detection, the HB400 Benchtop model is a workhorse of the broad line of Starrett Comparators, providing performance levels previously only available with floor standing machines.  “Customers will surely welcome this enhancement, as the
