What are the benefits when coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are used simultaneously as gear measuring centres? By Sea Chiahui, regional stationary product manager at Hexagon

Using a laser tracker, a metrology engineer can quickly capture high tolerance dimensional measurements – including conventional level and square measurements. By Hubert Meagher, director of metrology services, OASIS Alignment Services LLC.

Florida, USA: Faro has acquired Laser Projection Technologies (LPT), a supplier of 3D laser projection and measurement systems based in Londonderry, New Hampshire in the US.

A metrology facility, covering 3,000-sq ft within the Innovation Centre of Silverstone Park in Towcester, England was recently launched by Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, in partnership with asset manager MEPC.

“Fibernomics” (as coined by Bystronic), describes an all-encompassing economic principle which seeks to give the competitive advantage in today’s sheet metal fabrication environment. It begins with the company’s fibre laser cutting system. Contributed by Oliver Hergt, editor corporate communications, Bystronic.

The Faro Factory Robo-Imager Mobile combines optical 3D measurement with robot technology. It pairs a metrology-grade 3D sensor with a human-collaborative robot integrated on a mobile cart that can be moved to wherever measurement tasks are required.

Multisensor systems have evolved considerably over the years as the component technologies for motion control, optics, lighting and cameras have improved. Tim Sladden, Quality Vision International, tells us more.
