The machine engineer's oscilloscope

The portable Promon Scope high-speed camera system from AOS makes it possible to monitor and analyze high-speed processes (for example, packaging and manufacturing machines). Here, processes are recorded at a high frame rate and subsequently played back in slow motion. This allows analyzing the very fastest mechanical operations on site in great detail and fine-tuning systems as required. moreFeb. 20, 2013

Vision Engineering introduces Digital Magnifier CamZ

CamZ is the first digital magnifier with a 4.3" TFT LCD display suitable for production area and providing an internally stored image for download via USB to PC. The built in camera shows the image live on the magnifier display. Magnification can be adjusted from 4x to 14x at various levels to get brilliant, high contrast images. A single push button freezes and captures the image for further processing. Suitable for applications in production and assembly areas, in the electronics, mechanics, medical device, laboratory, R&D, during incoming controls, and many more. moreFeb. 19, 2013

Compact thermal imaging cameras for automation / process control applications

Thermal imaging can easily collect information on product quality and/or production efficiency that is difficult or impossible to capture using conventional means such as thermocouples or visible light cameras. The Flir Axx-Series is the perfect solution for those applications that require the benefits of a thermal image but do not need exact temperature measurement. moreMay. 16, 2012

Olympus introduces DSX-Series of Microscopes

Olympus has launched its new family of opto-digital microscopes; the DSX series. Consisting of three models: the DSX100 free-angle wide zoom microscope, the DSX500 high resolution upright microscope and the DSX500i high resolution inverted microscope, Olympus can provide a complete inspection system to meet the needs of applications across R&D and quality control. These include inspection and analysis within the automotive industry, palaeontology, geology, PCB manufacture, fibre structure, micro-channels, metallography and the geometry of small parts. more
