Product of the Month

Exact Metrology, Cincinnati, OH, introduced the PolyScan XL Surround 3D scanners that are
motionless by design during inspection. No data alignment or sticker targets are needed; multiple
baselines increase accuracy when measuring points. The PolyScan XL6 is designed to measure parts
up to 1,600 mm, combining 12 cameras and 12 projectors to provide 210 effective scanning units.
It is suited for medium to large castings or sheet metal components. Complete inspection of parts
is achieved in six minutes. It can be integrated into a production line and is safe for operators.
PolyScan XL8 measures parts up to 2,000 mm, combining 16 cameras and 16 projectors to provide 376 effective scanning units. The PolyScan
Control Center manages data acquisition from all scanning units, generating 3D models.

Vision Software

Compression Limiter

Teledyne DALSA, Waterloo, ON, Canada,
announced Sapera™ Vision Software Edition
2020-09 that offers image processing and artificial intelligence functions to design, develop,
and deploy machine vision applications. The
suite includes Astrocyte™ 1.0, an AI-based graphical application for
training neural networks to perform classification, object detection,
segmentation, and noise reduction on existing images.

SPIROL International, Danielson,
CT, introduced the CL220 Split Seam -
Extra Clearance compression limiter
with a flexible diameter to accommodate wide hole tolerances. The
spring force generated during installation provides self-retention of
the limiter within the plastic assembly. Once installed, it provides a
minimum clearance of 1 mm over the bolt diameter, accommodating
a protective coating of ArmorGalv®, a zinc alloy thermal diffusion
coating for corrosive applications.

CAD/CAM Software
OPEN MIND Technologies, Needham, MA,
released hyperMILL® 2021.1 CAD/CAM software
that offers new features for 3D, 5-axis, and
mill/turn machining. An Interactive Edit Toolpath
capability enables toolpath editing after initial toolpath generation. A new import function retrieves face quality information and metadata when importing CAD data from neutral or native formats. A 5-axis Radial Machining capability allows bottle shapes and similar cavities to be programmed in the software.

Measurement Instruments
Micro-Epsilon, Raleigh, NC, introduced interferoMETERs with a resolution of <30 picometers. The
IMS5400-DS is for high-precision and industrial distance measurements, the IMS5400-TH is for thickness measurements, and the IMS5600-DS with vacuum-suitable design is
for distance measurements of subnanometer accuracy. All three consist of
a controller, sensor, and fiber optic cable.

Wireless Data Collection
MEMS Thermal Sensors
Omron Americas, Hoffman Estates, IL, released
D6T Series MEMS thermal sensors that can detect
stationary humans by detecting body heat and can be
used to automatically switch off unnecessary lighting and
air conditioning when people are not present. They can also
detect factory line stoppages or discover areas of overheating for early prevention of fire. The sensors take contactless temperature measurements.

The L.S. Starrett Co., Athol, MA, offers the
DataSure® 4.0 wireless data collection system for
acquiring precision measurement data. The system uses short-wave radio frequencies to interconnect cellphones, computers, and wireless electronic devices. It features
high-speed connection of less than 50 ms of data travel time and has an
ultra-low-latency network that enables high data volumes to be
processed without delay, even at full capacity.
