Germany-based Nikon Metrology will be presenting
the latest version of its high
energy 450kV Computed Tomography for high density
parts or aluminium castings.
Nikon says that productivity
improvements with its Altera bridge CMMS will be
demonstrated by the latest
laser scanners and automated scanning solutions. The
robot-mounted Laser Radar
for inline car inspection is
also intended to deliver improved productivity.
Nikon will also be presenting its premium range of
video measurement and microscopy solutions. The high
power Microfocus 450kV
Computed Tomography XT
H 450 system is described as
offering the necessary
source power to penetrate
through high density parts
and generate a scatter-free
CT volume with micron accuracy. Nikon Metrology’s
450 kV microfocus source is
claimed to give industryleading performance for
small high density or small
to medium castings, with 25
micron repeatability and accuracy. Multi-sensor ALTERA CMM for best-in-class
combination of productivity
and flexibility Improved
productivity, enhanced metrology
and greater flexibili44
ty are the hallmarks of this
new generation of premium
quality CMMs from Nikon
Metrology.
Multi-sensor Altera CMM,
combined with Camio and a
wide range of tactile and optical sensors, combines to
present a range of highly accurate CMMs that provide
true support for multi-sensor measuring applications.
When equipped with the
LC15Dx, which achieves 1.9
µm MPEP accuracy, this laser
scanning based system is
claimed to further closes the
gap with tactile measurement systems.
Nikon says that its robotmounted Laser Radar (LR)
can provide a distinct alternative to traditional car
body inspection methods,
such as fixed inline camera
systems or horizontal arm
CMMs located in a separate
measuring room. The company says that LR can measure almost any surface, including highly reflective
bare body panels, shiny
painted surfaces and lights.
The LR can be used for both
body-in white (BIW) and
Flush-and-Gap inspections
on finished cars.

Non-destructive automatic
testing
Quasar Europe, represented
by Hesselmann & Köhler
Prozessautomation GmbH,
will be demonstrating Process Compensated Resonance Testing (PCRT), a
non-destructive, fully automatic material testing method. PCRT compensates process variations and tests safety-related, failure-critical
components for structural
irregularities, while tracking
faults inside the parts. The
equipment assigns a unique
PCRT code to every component tested, which also allows conclusions to be
drawn about physical characteristics of the component
at a later date. Every device
tested is given its own specific digital PCRT fingerprint;
the information is permanently documented in the

Nikon to offer increased
accuracy and productivity
Quasar database, which
helps to optimize process reliability and quality. Quasar
says that the method is suitable for branches of industry
where products have to fulfil
demanding safety and quality requirements, such as the
automotive, aviation and
turbine industries, and medical engineering.
