Let’s review : Control 2025
enables smart 3D evaluation and output of stitched 2D/3D laser line profile data. In effect, the 3D Profile Unit aids the measurement of complex geometries by organising several laser scanners into a common co-ordinate system. This capability makes it possible to measure and inspect entire outer contours, undercuts and thickness volumes. Another neat innovation could be seen on the stand of Marposs. According to the company, SMARTNet is more than just a fast network; it’s a smart, plug-and-play architecture created to simplify connections, minimise set-up and reduce costs. On the stand, Global Marketing Manager Mariangela Bettini said SMARTNet’s fully digital backbone makes measurement networks easier to configure, faster to maintain and more intelligent. X marks the spot According to Andreas Graf, Project & Sales Engineer at Werth Messtechnik, users of the company’s new and ultra-compact Tomoscope XS Plus 230 can solve even more measurement tasks faster, more accurately and therefore more economically using X-ray CT (computed tomography). Werth says its long-life transmission sources offer five times faster measuring speed and better economy than systems with conventional X-ray sources. Said to be the most powerful transmission source on
the market with up to 140W, the Tomoscope XS Plus 230 is suitable for applications such as the measurement of prismatic battery cells used in the automotive or e-bike industries. A further new offer in this technology area was present on the stand of Zeiss. The Metrotom 800 320kV is designed for the high-precision inspection of dense materials like Inconel, cobalt chromium and additively manufactured metal parts or multi-material assemblies. Robert Zarnetta, Head of Customer Segment Management, suggested that the Zeiss Metrotom 800 - now with 320kV in the X-ray range - is ideal for the quality assurance of turbine blades. Eyeing the future Taking the spotlight on the stand of Vision Engineering was its new EVO Cam HALO digital microscope. Carrying the strapline ‘4K inspection made easy’, the company says EVO Cam HALO digital provides ultra-HD image quality, supported by precision and versatility. The microscope features intelligent features, such as automatic lens identification and a super-wide dynamic range for brightness and contrast. The booth also featured a ‘portal into the future’, with Group Sales & Marketing Director Paul Newbatt present to explain a number of forthcoming innovations in digital 3D visualisation. These included a system that performs eye pupil tracking to create Measurement & Manufacturing 11
