Trimos has created a new business unit, named TRIMOS 3D, to focus on 3D measuring products that are used directly on the manufacturing floor. TRIMOS 3D is represented by two product lines namely the A-Line Portable Measuring Arms and the C-Line Portable CMM. Both portable 3D measuring instruments are ideal for quality control, inspection, or verification of small and large size parts negating the need to move the part to be measured; instead just take the appropriate Trimos instrument

SHINING 3D has added a new line of handheld color 3D scanners to its proven EinScan Series. The new EinScan H and HX handheld color 3D scanners are adding a new dimension of 3D scanning capacity to the EinScan portfolio. Based on many years of profound experience in 3D vision technology and 3D inspection, evaluation of needs in the market and striving to elevate the EinScan experience to another dimension, SHINING 3D has introduced the EinScan H Series hybrid light source 3D Scanners.

“Closed-Loop” is a term used in state-of-the-art bevel gear manufacturing, but has not been widely used, at least not as a term, in the cylindrical gear world. The “Closed-Loop” in manufacturing aims at minimizing manufacturing deviations by using evaluation software to determine the necessary correction values for the adjustment of the production machine. This optimizes the manufacturing process so that the manufactured parts achieve the specified accuracy. In the “Design/Manufacturin

Coord3 has announced the release of its compact U-CONTROL, all-in-one CMM, complete with TOUCHDMIS measuring software for use in the quality control room or production environments. The U-CONTOL CMM is based upon the Coord3 Benchmark CMM with increased Z measuring stroke of 500mm compatible for use of laser scanning sensors. The small footprint CMM offers a measuring range of 600 mm x 500 mm x 500 mm and also has a reduced installed height of just 2400mm. The open structure of the ‘ha

The universal training platform for coordinate measurement specialists,  AUKOM , had extended its training modules with the addition of new modules targeted at production measurement engineers. This new seminar series offers the optimal knowledge update for measurement engineers who have previously attended AUKOM Level 1 and 2 and AUKON GD&T or Level 3. The AUKOM organization state  “we want to support measurement engineers in their ongoing development process. Because only people w

During spring 2020 Zeiss announced their Measuringhero Awards with prizes to win in seven different categories. “In honour of the metrologists who deal with everyday measuring challenges” Zeiss stated. One category was for the smallest object measured on a Zeiss CMM. The smallest measured object was just 0.4 x 0.4 x 0.03 mm. This entry was made by Nobby Assmann from the Netherlands. He runs his own shop, together with his parents, without any additional staff. Their company  Assman

Laser line scanners are well respected and intensely utilized on manual portable arm coordinate measuring devices, for both reverse engineering and part inspection, in numerous industries, including automotive, aerospace, tooling, and prototyping. The use of laser line scanners on traditional fully automatic CMM’s has been presented at trade-shows for more than a decade. Only in more recent years have they started to perform the front line role envisaged in production part inspection.

The Renishaw REVO system delivers high performance two and three axis tactile scanning, non-contact optical inspection, non-contact structured light scanning and surface finish analysis expanding available measurement capabilities on a single CMM platform. The REVO system offers five automatically interchangeable probe families, each specifically designed to maximise the advantages of 5-axis motion and infinite positioning offered by REVO. REVO uses synchronised motion and 5-axis measu

Metrology News recently sat-down virtually with the Metrologic Group CEO, Bertrand Gili, to discuss his view points on the role of manufacturing metrology and its transition and integration into smart factories. Metrology has become much more strategic to manufacturing over recent years. Can you comment on the role Metrologic Group is performing in delivering integrated metrology solutions to manufacturing? The Metrologic Group is exclusively focused on providing fully integrated

Aberlink has launched a new range of CNC bridge-style CMM. Utilizing linear motors, the HORIZON breaks new ground in CMM design. With an 800mm travel in the X axis, the Horizon completes Aberlink’s range of bridge CMMs and will further extend their horizon into the higher-performance CMM marketplace. The Horizon CMM is the culmination of Aberlink’s 27 years of CMM design innovation and in-house manufacturing technology. It sets new standards in performance, reliability and ease-of-use

Metrology News recently visited British CMM manufacturer Aberlink, renowned for its design innovations, to witness the physical launch of EXTOL, the world’s first CMM to utilize the delta mechanism. Located in a quintessentially English Cotswold country-side location, with close by neighbors of Renishaw and Dyson, innovation seems to be in the country air in these parts. Celebrating 27 years of business, Aberlink exports over 70% of its CMM production to all regions of the world. T

The OGP FlexPoint multisensor Coordinate Measure Machine (CMM) feature the VersaFlex patented multisensor array that offers up to three simultaneously available sensors on an articulating probe head. FlexPoint users gain the ability to measure parts with a scanning probe, telecentric optics, and the TeleStar interferometric laser without experiencing down time while individual sensors are exchanged in a sensor change rack, and with no requirement to recalibrate each time a sensor is us
