Coordinate measuring machine (CMM) manufacturer LK Metrology has introduced a further release of its CAMIO 2021 programming and measurement software featuring numerous improvements. The most significant is the inclusion of a module that automates the inspection of spur and helical involute gears. CAMIO GEARS makes it possible to begin measuring the specific geometry of gears quickly by utilizing the core capabilities of CAMIO software to generate straightforward inspection programs, ad

At the recent CES 2022 Expo, German deep tech company for MEMS-based AR/VR display and 3D sensing solutions, unveiled its mobile 3D LiDAR camera technology. OQmented’s ultra-compact 3D depth sensing camera provides a cost-effective solution for upgrading mobile or stationary cameras with complimentary RGB-D technology. Applying a biaxial MEMS laser scanner, it is designed around a patented structured light projector and delivers accurate high-resolution scans across an adjustable large fie

Open X Education, an interactive learning platform, in collaboration with Verisurf Software, has announced the latest metrology learning program designed for those seeking a career in the fast-growing manufacturing and metrology industry and professionals looking to expand their skills. The course focuses on CMM programming for inspection, and quality reporting of manufactured parts and assemblies, including programming of Renishaw 5-axis probing systems. Upon completion, students receive

Mitutoyo America Corporation has announced the release of MCOSMOS Version 5.0, the newest version of their advanced metrology suite for Coordinate Measuring Machines. This software offers support in thirty-seven separate locations and in twelve different languages. What distinguishes MCOSMOS v.5 from its predecessor are the upgrades to its interface, functions, and performance. Most noticeable from launch is the new and simplified graphical user interface: The updates made to this are

The German clamping specialist Witte Barskamp is giving its keyless chucks a significant upgrade. Keyless chucks are used for gripping complex, rotationally symmetrical or elliptical parts when testing with 3D coordinate or roundness measuring equipment. In addition to an ergonomically optimized slew ring, the 2022 generation of Witte chucks come with two other innovations – Jaw bores for the additional insertion of stepped positioning pins as well as threaded holes for screwing in sp

Metrology News recently sat down with Dr. Heike Wenzel, CEO Wenzel Group, for a discussion on the future role of three dimensional coordinate metrology in the new era of smart factories and seamlessly integrated manufacturing processes. Q: The era of Smart Manufacturing is upon us. How do you see the role of the Coordinate Measuring Machine changing as manufacturing adapts to Quality 4.0? A: In our view, intelligent manufacturing is characterized – above all – by the flexible us

ACCRETECH’s new form measuring instruments of the RONDCOM NEX series have a modular design. This ensures that the instruments, which can measure form, diameter and surface simultaneously with high precision, are suitable for a wide range of measuring tasks and offer retrofitting capabilities. New features such as an axis speed potentiometer and the AutoForceDetector make measuring considerably more efficient. The instrument series with its innovative design is now modular thanks to a b

API recently participated in the machining of a 7m diameter turbine wheel casing. This operation was not easy to achieve in view of the large dimensions involved. The API customers, energy company EDF and TACQUET INDUSTRIE, in France selected API for the adjustment of the machine in relation to the rotation axis of the wheel casing. The measurements were made with an API RADIAN PRO laser tracker running METROLOG X4 V17 software. The axle of the turbine wheel casing was measured beforeh

“The aerospace metrologist knew what he was up against: a one-thousandths of an inch clearance on the deployment of the solar power array. An undeployed solar array would mean, of course, mission failure”.   The question came down to whether this metrologist could trust the accuracy of his laser tracker – in his location and at that moment. Relying on the relative positions of components within the instruments, laser trackers and laser radars are highly accurate and extremely sensitiv

KF Aerospace, a leading Canadian approved maintenance organization (AMO) has begun using 8tree’s dentCHECK to enhance the efficiency and quality of its dent-mapping activities. “KF performs hundreds of structural repairs annually on a wide variety of commercial aircraft”  says Gregg Evjen, Chief Operating Officer,  “Implementation of dentCHECK has allowed KF to improve accuracy, accelerate the damage mapping processes, and produce a digital record for our Engineers to utilize as they de

The new target frame from AESUB sets objects into position for optical measurement in just a few steps. A modular frame set allows to assemble target frames with a diameter of 200mm or 300mm. The frame is additively manufactured with plug and screw connections directly integrated allowing assembly without additional tools. As the frame is printed in black, no chemical finishing by coloring or anodizing is needed. All elements are compactly packed into one case, making the entire set ideal

Aberlink has announced the launch of the latest edition of their mk4 inspection software. The major enhancements to the new version 4.18 of mk4 software are: Leapfrog function:   Originally requested by articulating arm manufacturers the leapfrog function is also a perfect solution for manual and CNC CMMs.  If a part is bigger than the axis-travel of the CMM, now it can be measured as two or more entities and then mated together using the Leapfrog function. Once mated as a complete in
