LK Metrology has announced the launching of two larger sizes of coordinate measuring machines (CMM) as part of company’s entry-level ALTERA C range. The machines with debut at the upcoming  MACH 2022  exhibition in the UK and are described as an ideal solution for manufacturers looking to purchase their first CNC CMM as well as those that need additional measurement capacity. With easy-to-use software and a choice of probing options including touch-trigger, analogue scanning and non-co

Made to Measure has launched the AccuFLEX series of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). Constructed in the United States, this new machine line includes bridge, shop floor, horizontal and gantry models to serve a wide range of industries and applications. AccuFLEX elite “Our AccuFLEX portfolio is unlike any other in the industry. It not only addresses current client needs, but it is designed to support the evolving environment with its open software platform,”  stated Sven

Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has announced the introduction of full IP54 protection for its latest range of Absolute Arm models, together with other usability improvements and compatibility with the HxGN SFx | Asset Management service. From ultra-high-accuracy probing with the Absolute Arm Compact to high-productivity 3D laser scanning with the Absolute Arm 7-Axis and Absolute Scanner AS1, every new Absolute Arm model will be fully equipped for the demands of measuring an

As the age of Industry 4.0 is upon us demands increase on advanced manufacturing processes and highly accurate production techniques. Regarding the requirements of surface quality in production, optical inspection is the most general way to detect a component surface quality by measuring the roughness, micro-profile and other related parameters. However not every workpiece is able to inspected by standard optical profilometers. Chinese measuring equipment supplier, Chotest, were recent

To maximize efficiency and reduce fuel consumption, current combustor exit temperatures exceed the melting point temperatures of turbine blade materials. The external surfaces of the blades are protected by film cooling, a process in which cool air from the compressor is discharged via small holes in the turbine blade. Accurately produced cooling holes are essential to avoid turbine failure and ensure aircraft safe operation. The small dimensions, narrow distribution, and diverse incli

For the 2022 season, the manner in which the legality of F1 cars is checked is changing, and the FIA is implementing a new laser scanning system that will form part of the scrutineering process at every race weekend. FIA Single Seater Technical Director Nikolas Tombazis explained in an interview how the process will work. Q: What has changed for 2022and why has the change been made? A: The aerodynamic regulations have become quite a lot more complex, and its not a matter of de

Perfect for volume production, especially in automotive and aerospace industries, Silma X4 and its Path Planning module meet the need to simplify, streamline and optimize CMM inspection process. Silma X4 allows measurement programs are creat

Noise and vibration reduction of dental instruments is one of the joint goals of the wbk Institute of Production Science at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) together with the world-renowned manufacturer of dental products and technology, Dentsply Sirona. In the ProIQ project, approaches for function-oriented quality assurance of micro gears are being investigated by integrating inline measurement technology. The aim is to adaptively control the hobbing process to increase compo
