Geomagic: Qualify Probe for hard probe inspection

Geomagic announced the latest addition to its 3D inspection software product line - Geomagic Qualify Probe. Geomagic Qualify Probe takes advantage of the Geomagic Qualify technology to work with a broad range of hard probe precision measurement devices from hardware partners such as Faro, Creaform, Hexagon, Nikon and many others. With the Qualify Probe, users can use touch probes, portable CMM arms and similar equipment to quickly measure physical parts and compare them with their CAD models to determine manufacturing quality. more27.07.2011

Zeiss provides Confomap Software

Carl Zeiss and Digital Surf announce the signing of an agreement enabling Carl Zeiss to provide Confomap software. Confomap is a surface imaging and analysis software for confocal microscopes and compound microscopes for topographical research. The standard ConfoMap ST package includes numerous analytical studies. Geometric studies calculate distances, angles, areas, volumes and step heights on 2D profiles and 3D surfaces. Functional studies, including the bearing ratio curve and height distribution, facilitate the assessment of friction and wear on engineering surfaces. more26.04.2011

Industrial Camera with GigE Interface and Power over Ethernet

One cable is enough for the new GigE uEye CP industrial camera from IDS. At 29 x 29 x 41 mm, the camera is one of the smallest models to feature PoE technology. It offers a Gigabit Ethernet interface that allows cable lengths of up to 100 meters, a robust housing, screw-on connectors, and optically isolated in- and outputs. For users of analog cameras the new model range offers a powerful alternative. The aim was to combine the simplicity of USB with the performance of GigE. With the GigE uEye CP the company IDS has achieved this. It offers real ease of use. more21.03.2011

Wherever the Journey Goes

Easier to handle and more compact and powerful: These are the characteristics new ­camera models should have when introduced to the market. Thereby, the cameras' performance is pushed by the developments in the consumer market. One consequence is the availability of new CMOS sensors with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels and global shutter technology. According to first tests, these sensors exceed the light sensitivity of existing sensors. Does this mean that CCD cameras are now becoming redundant? more21.02.2011
