MARKET
Product of the Month
Holo Industries LLC, Cottage Grove, OR, offers Holographic Touch™ large-format, contactless holographic
systems for machine, factory, and other rugged industrial applications. The systems comprise holographic
plates, sensors, and proprietary software and hardware that allow users to touch, pinch, scroll, or
spin any image in midair. The user interface provides zero latency with 50-millisecond response time, even
when the operator is wearing gloves. Since all interactions occur in midair, there is no residual grease or
grime on touchscreens, keyboards, or other control surfaces. Plate sizes measure 310 mm (12.2 × 12.2 " ),
420 mm (16.5 × 16.5 " ), and 630 mm (24.8 × 24.8 " ). The glass plates are 5.6 mm (0.22 " ) thick and consist
of vertical mirrors hundreds of microns wide.

Carrier Card
Acromag, Wixom, MI, offers the APCe8775
carrier card that allows a PC to communicate
with an XMC mezzanine module over a PCI
Express (PCIe) bus. The 3/4-length PCIe card is suited
for use in smaller embedded computers and servers with reduceddepth
expansion slots. The carrier's PCIe x8 interface supports up to
eight serial lanes for rapid data transfer between the plug-in XMC module
and the host computer.

2D Drawing Software
NUMcad 2D drawing tool from NUM, Na -
perville, IL, enables design and creation of executable
G-code files for CNC cutting machines. It
runs directly from the machine operator panel
and also under Windows on any standard PC. Its user interface mimics
that of many popular CAD packages. The software includes a postprocessor;
shapes or patterns that have been drawn or imported can be
automatically converted into an executable G-code file.

Surface Sensor
The surfaceCONTROL 3D 3500 sensor from
Micro-Epsilon, Raleigh, NC, is designed for in -
spection of various surfaces such as metal, plastic,
or ceramics. Full-area measurements are
achieved via single snapshot for the inspection
of geometry, shape, and surface. It features z-axis repeatability of up to
0.4 µm and measures flatness deviations or height differences.

CMM Software
LK Metrology, Hudson Heights, MI, an -
nounced CAMIO 2021 measurement, pro -
gramming, analysis, and reporting CMM
software. It automatically detects which surfaces
of a CAD model should be used to measure the feature. Probe
self-centering allows the center point of a V-groove to be automatically
located and measured using a scanning probe.
