The L.S. Starrett Co. will be demonstrating a range of its latest solutions from automated vision technology and optical measuring systems, to force testing equipment, surface measurement, hardness testing, new electronic digital measuring tools and wireless data collection to support manufacturing's transition to Industry 4.0.
"Among several hundred products and solutions that Starrett will feature at the show is the company's new HVR100 "FLIP" Digital Video System, the industry's first vision system to work upright vertically, or on its side horizontally, a unique function for application versatility," said a company spokesperson. One of these systems will be demonstrating a fully automated metrology solution where the HVR100 will be served by a robot loading parts on the machine's workstage. The HVR100 is designed to provide rapid measurement results and features a large field-of-view, automatic part recognition and easy-to-use measuring tools.
In addition, Starrett will be demonstrating its AVR300 automatic vision system, suited for repetitive measurements and automatic comparison to CAD files, featuring both zoom optics and interchangeable telecentric lenses for micron-level resolution and accurate field-of-view measurements.
A compact, economical bench-top optical comparator, model No. HE400 with a 16" screen, in addition to two horizontal digital video comparators, models HDV300 featuring new updates and the HDV500, will also be showcased. These systems combine vision and optical comparator technology, optimizing the best features of both technologies, with a uniquely designed interchangeable lens mounting system, go/no-go digital overlay capability directly from part CAD files, real-time video edge detection and more.
Other metrology emphasis at the Starrett booth will include force testing systems, highlighting the company's new launch of its entry-level L1 computer-based force testing products. Optimized for production and quality control testing, the systems are easy to set up, operate and maintain for performing a wide range of testing from load, limit and break testing to cyclic count testing and more.
Starrett will also display a broad range of precision measuring tools, featuring new electronic digital micrometers, indicators, height gauges and new Bluetooth-enabled bore gauges for wireless data acquisition via data collection devices and systems such as Starrett DataSure. Wireless acquisition will play a key role in supporting data-intensive Industry 4.0 initiatives.
Rounding out the Starrett range of measuring solutions will be a display on Starrett True-Stone engineered granite metrology bases, surface and hardness testers.
In addition to its booth presence, Starrett will be making a presentation at the IMTS Conference Sessions on "Walk-Up Metrology" - the capability and utilization of a vision and multi-sensor system to be effective for a range of measurement applications. The presentation, to be given by Mark Arenal, General Manager of Starrett Kinemetric Engineering, will cover how companies can experience a rapid pay back on versatile walk-up metrology systems, offering a wide range of uses from engineering and development and reverse engineering, to quality and inspection. The presentation will be held Tuesday, September 11, 2018, from 11:00 AM - 11:55 AM in room W192-B in McCormick Hall.
Starrett will also be participating in the Smartforce Student Summit located in booth 215020.
