(HEIDENHAIN Corp.: Schaumburg, IL) -- The new Quadra-Chek ND 1300 digital readout (DRO)—especially designed for convenient 2-D measurement and featuring a cutting-edge video system—is now available exclusively through the global distribution network of HEIDENHAIN Corp. Previously known and sold by the HEIDENHAIN subsidiary, METRONICS Inc., Quadra-Chek DROs continue to hold a top spot when supporting gauging systems, but will no longer carry the METRONICS name. Since 1983, METRONICS has been active in the metrology market with coordinate measuring machines, profile projectors, tool presetters, and measuring microscopes.
The newest ND 1300 Quadra-Chek (one of five of the current HEIDENHAIN Quadra-Cheks) sports a new dark gray faceplate while maintaining all the great features of the recent past, including the Quadra-Chek brand name. Benefiting from the considerable resources of HEIDENHAIN Corp., Quadra-Chek customers will experience an expanded sales, service, and technical support structure. Purchasers of the new ND 1300 DRO can expect a high-quality gauging workhorse with support of up to four axes.
The ND 1300 Quadra-Chek digital readout also features an enhanced color touch-screen interface and Measure Magic technology. With its offered optical and video edge detection systems, the ND 1300 is ideal for measuring microscopes, optical comparators, and video systems. All ND 1300 series models include serial and USB ports for use with printers and networks.
The ND 1300 video option enables video cameras with S-Video or composite interfaces to connect simply, making past requirements of a connected PC with a frame grabber or monitor with crosshair generator unnecessary.
In addition to the ND 1300, the other HEIDENHAIN Quadra-Chek models (renamed from METRONICS) include:
