The National Physical Laboratory (NPL), part of the United Kingdom’s National Measurement Office, has developed a new range of 3D standards for verifying freeform coordinate measurement machines (CMMs).

Cédric Touchette, holder of the Guinness record for fastest speed on a gravity-powered street luge (157.41 kmh/97.81 mph) decided to take up a new challenge: pass the symbolic mark of 100 mph, with no engine.

With the motto, “Improved Operations through Improved Safety,” Delta Q Consultants provides risk assessments, accident investigations, safety consulting, and applied research and development specializing in fire and explosion dynamics for a wide range of clients.

Many manufacturing facilities use equipment that contain rollers, idlers, press drums, and web-handling systems, and their alignment has a major effect on their efficacy.

The CMS Certification Committee broke new ground this year during the Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference in July 2012.

The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) sends its support to our members and vendors who were affected by super storm Sandy. Families and businesses will need aid and support during the coming months to put their lives back together.

Few areas of research are as dependent on 3D measurement technology in the setup of its major experiments as fusion plasma physics.

Most existing 3D capture technologies can’t be used to record objects in motion, and they usually require a stationary platform for operation.

A new white-light 3D scanner using hybrid positioning to scan large objects and output a file with no post processing has recently been released.

Beamex and Emerson have partnered to offer Calibration Excellence, a best-in-class solution for managing calibrations.
