New on the
MARKET
Product of the Month
The IMS5420-TH white light interferometer from Micro-Epsilon, Ortenburg, Germany, opens up
new perspectives in industrial thickness measurement of monocrystalline silicon wafers. Due to its
broadband superluminescent diode (SLED), the IMS5420-TH can be used for undoped, doped, and
highly doped SI wafers. The thickness measuring range extends from 0.05 up to 1.05 mm. The measurable
thickness of air gaps is even up to 4 mm. The interferometer is available as either a thickness or a
multi-peak thickness measuring system. The multi-peak thickness measuring system can measure the thickness of up to five
layers, for example, wafer thickness, air gap, film, and coatings >50 µm. For thickness measurements in difficult environmental
conditions, the IMS5420IP67 controller is available with IP67 protection rating.

Metal Additive Manufacturing Systems
The new TEMPUS™ technology from Renishaw,
West Dundee, IL, enables users of RenAM
500 series metal additive manufacturing (AM)
systems to reduce build times by up to 50 percent.
The technology uses advanced scanning algorithms that sequence
the layer data in a way that maximizes productivity while maintaining
part quality. Parts with thin vertical features are especially likely
to experience proportionally higher productivity savings.

Ultracompact Coriolis Mass Flow Meter
Emerson, Boulder, CO, has introduced the Micro
Motion™ G-Series line of Coriolis extremely
compact mass flow and density meters. They offer
the same level of quality and reliability as standard
designs, but in a much smaller and lighter form factor. Compared
to traditional volumetric flow meters, they provide direct
mass flow measurement, immunity of process temperature/pressure
changes, and advanced process and health diagnostics.

Compression Limiter for Plastic
Assemblies
SPIROL, Danielson, CT is pleased
to introduce the new Series CL6000
lightweight, lead-free, aluminum precision-machined Compression
Limiters. Compression Limiters are designed to reinforce
high stress joints in plastic assemblies where bolts are used to
connect two components to each other. They protect the plastic
from excessive compression by absorbing the load when the
bolt is tightened to the recommended tightening torque.

Cable Connector with Protective Cap
binder-USA, Camarillo, CA, is adding protective
caps for the cable connectors to its NCC
(Not Connected Closed) 670- and 770-series
portfolio. If a connection has to be released
during use, such as for inspection or maintenance, this reduces the
environmental protection for the period of work. However, these
caps reliably protect the components against any ingress of dust
and liquids when unmated, so the requirements of IP67 are met.

Lithium Coin Cell Holder
A breakthrough lithium coin cell holder for
maximizing PC board capacity when installing
high capacity 2477 lithium coin cells in
high-density applications is now available from
Keystone Electronics, New Hyde Park, NY. Its top-loading design
allows for minimal footprint board layouts without restricting
battery access in devices. It holds the larger 2477 cells securely
in severe shock and vibration environments.

LEO Beam Stabilizing Mirrors
In simulation runs, COTS steering systems
such as the piezo-based S-331 tip/tilt platforms
from Pi Americas, Auburn, MA, have
proven their suitability for use in space in accordance with NASA
GEVS (General Environmental Verification Standard). They generate
highly dynamic and wear-free movements with a tip/tilt angle
of up to 5 mrad (corresponding to up to 10 mrad or 0.57° deflection)
and a resolution of 0.1 μrad for beam stabilization.

Tap Grinding Solution
The TapX customized grinding solution for tap
manufacture, from ANCA, Melbourne, Australia, is
a machine specifically designed and integrated
with automation to ensure high productivity in
mass production. It offers the performance of a single
grinding process, a parallel grinding process, or a combined
grinding process. Although several grinding machines are usually
required, each performing a specific tap grinding task, TapX integrates
the various processes into one machine.

Threaded Inserts for Metal
E-Z Lok, Gardena, CA, is offering E-Z Lok™
(Solid Wall) Threaded Inserts for metal. They
are designed for repairing or reinforcing threaded
holes in soft metals such as aluminum, magnesium,
and cast iron. External threads are standard size and
pitch, so they can be installed with standard drills and taps.
Solid wall threaded inserts are installed with a screwdriver,
bolt/jam nut, or optional power drive tool.
