L.S. Starrett Introduces Automated Inspection Technologies at Manufacturing Technology Series East
The L.S. Starrett Company will be featuring the automated inspection capabilities of its metrology and force measurement systems at Manufacturing Technology Series East (formally known as EASTEC) Booth #3244 at Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, MA from May 13-15 this year.
Starrett Optical and Video-based measurement systems combine high-resolution images, powerful intuitive software and precision mechanical platforms to deliver superb accuracy and repeatable measurement results.
Starrett will demonstrate pattern recognition and automated inspection on several metrology systems at Manufacturing Technology Series East including:
- AVR400 CNC Vision System, features the largest benchtop platform to date from Starrett with stage travel that is twice the speed of previous Starrett AVR models. The stage travel is 15.8"x 11.8"x 7.9" (400 mm x 300 mm x 200 mm) in the x-y-z axes with a speed of up to 120 mm/sec.
- KMR-MX 200 Manual Vision System, a unique platform that fills the gap for companies that want the speed and accuracy of a Video-based platform but do not need or want a PC-based system.
- HDV Horizontal Digital Video Comparator, which combines the best features of Vision and Optical Comparator technology.
- HD400 Horizontal Dual Lens Optical Comparator offering a two-lens mount, enabling instant switching between two magnification lenses or video camera adapter.
Starrett will also showcase its Force Testing Systems, highlighting the flexible architecture that enables the range of Starrett force and material testing software programs to be compatible with its different test frames. At Manufacturing Technology Series East, Starrett will demonstrate its FMS Series test frame measuring the force to draw fluid in and out of a syringe. This application uses Starrett L2Plus Software to capture peak and average load data. FMS Force Testing Systems provide cost-effective, higher-volume production, and more consistent results over manual testing methods solutions for determining load, distance and break applications.
