Quality Magazine - March 2009 - (Page 65) LASER MARKER The MD-V9900 YVO4 laser marker can mark in the X, Y and Z direction. This three-axis motion allows for a 42-millimeter variable focal length, distortion-free 300- by 300-millimeter marking area and the ability to mark on difficult shapes, such as cylinders, cones and inclined planes. The marker also offers a dual-end pumping cavity, which contributes to marking quality and laser life. It can mark at speeds up to 12,000 millimeters per second without compromising character clarity. With the marker’s variable focal length, maximum spot position can be set at any focal length within a 42-millimeter range. KEYENCE CORP.

It is an optional solution designed to integrate engineering with quality, change management and compliance. With the software, an organization will have version control for all engineering drawings in a centralized repository that can include all related product, process and quality documentation. By providing access to drawings and specifications, cross-functional barriers will reduce the overall design approval and transfer cycle, and eliminate costly overthe-wall syndrome between engineering and manufacturing. In addition, quality and manufacturing can more easily access, reference and make change requests back to engineering in response to defects, complaints, corrective actions or other design change considerations. PILGRIM SOFTWARE INC. (813) 915-1663 • WWW.PILGRIMSOFTWARE.COM • REPLY 605 ROUNDNESS MEASUREMENT The RA-10 Roundtest roundness measuring instrument is suited for manufacturers requiring inspection of small, cylindrical workpieces in the lab or high-volume inspection on the production floor. The instrument has a large touch-panel control and LCD display. It also has a function that stores measurement steps in advance for recalling via a single keystroke, as well as a function that enables the detector’s level to be zeroed out with one keystroke, eliminating the need for the operator to reposition the detector. Additionally, the instrument includes an X-axis stopper and a Z-axis scale unit. Measurement data can be printed from the built-in printer, output via RS232C or SPC ports, or stored to external memory through a USB port. MITUTOYO AMERICA CORP (630) 820-9666 • WWW.MITUTOYO.COM • REPLY 606 MACHINE TOOL ANALYSIS The QC10 ballbar is a system for machine tool and motion system analysis and diagnosis. The system has a set up and test procedure of often less than 10 minutes per machine and includes reporting and analysis software. The portable system automatically detects and diagnoses a range of machine geometry and motion errors. The system’s current software version, Ballbar 5.05 HPS, advances its machine analysis capabilities. The software is a Windows-based package with features designed to encourage regular and repeatable machine testing. The latest version adds a historic review function, machine performance acceptance limits, part program generator and ballbar plot simulator.
