Creaform Laser 3D Scanner
Re-engineered to address increasing manufacturing quality standards, enhancements to the MetraSCAN 3D include:
- Volumetric accuracy of 0.064 mm (0.0025”) regardless of environmental instabilities
- 480,000 Measurements per second—12 times faster than the previous generation
- New design for shop-floor hardware reliability
- Available in 350 and 750 models in Standard and Elite versions
Thanks to TRUaccuracy, the MetraSCAN 3D's optical-based data acquisition process provides measurement accuracy for small to large parts and assemblies that are insensitive to the instabilities of the environment. Efficient on black, multicolored and shiny surfaces, the system is designed to help manufacturers address potential quality control issues at any stage of the production cycle.
For more in-depth quality control procedures, users can add single-point measurements with Creaform’s HandyPROBE Next portable CMM, which, along with the MetraSCAN 3D, is compatible with VXinspect, Creaform's dimensional inspection software.

Hexagon Coordinate Measuring Machine
Built on the foundation of the GLOBAL family, GLOBAL EVO features several new technologies.
Central to the design is Compass, a vibration reduction technology which acts like a suspension system for the CMM. With Compass, the machine can compensate for vibrations caused by its own movements, enabling higher-speed scanning with no loss of accuracy.
GLOBAL EVO is also the first CMM from Hexagon to include Fly2 Mode, a new trajectory-optimizing technology that generates the most efficient path between points. Fly2 Mode automatically calculates the most efficient route between measurement points and generates the trajectory, minimizing non-value added motions.
GLOBAL EVO is available in three models: 09.12.08, 09.15.08, 09.20.08 from local Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence sales staff and dealers.
The EVO will be shown at HxGN LIVE, Hexagon's International Conference, June 13 – 16, 2016, in Anaheim, CA.

Jenoptik Thermal Camera
The IRC-TCM Basic is calibrated to measure over a temperature range of -40C to 600C and can capture thermograms in real-time in GigE Vision, DVI, and composite video.
Camera setup, integration and control can be done through a variety of interfacing options, including wireless connectivity (Bluetooth and WLAN) and standard GigE-Vision. Third-party control and analysis software packages, along with a Jenoptik Software Development Kit (SDK), are available for customized solutions for advanced applications.
The IR-TCM Basic can be used for a broad range of thermal imaging applications, including:
- Quality control
- Process monitoring
- Thermal test benches
- Monitoring and optimization in automation or safety engineering

Vision Engineering Rotational Viewer
Vision Engineering’s 360° rotation viewer combines 360° rotating views (up to 105x magnification) with full-HD imaging. While obtaining true 3D imagery can only be achieved with a stereo microscope, the new EVO Cam accessory gives the user a better understanding of the 3D nature of the subject using 2D digital technology.
The EVO Cam was designed to allow the user to seamlessly switch between 360° rotating views and a conventional direct-top view.
The viewer is capable of live video streaming and full-HD 1080p/60fps image quality. The EVO Cam has built-in full auto focus capabilities and image capture that can be saved to a USB memory stick and displayed on a screen without the need for a PC.
In-built LED ringlight illumination is designed to provide optimum illumination at all times and the wide range of stand options allow EVO Cam to be configured to suit a variety of work environments.
