2001 PRODUCT NEWS
- The new Series
TLI Tank Level Indicator from W.E. Anderson
provides quick, "seeing-is-believing" assessment of liquid
levels in tanks. The instrument, which has double-wall construction,
is easily mounted vertically in a piping system, and is available with
either 1/2" or 3/4" NPT fittings. Mounted horizontally, it
can also be used as a sight flow tube.
- Introducing Large
Diameter Gage from L.S. Starrett Company.
This ultra-light large diameter gage is used as an indicating snap gage
by setting the indicator to zero with the set master and reading the
part size variations on the indicator.
- Blue
Mountain Quality Resources has added two Metrology seminars to their
training schedule, "Managing Measurement Uncertainty" and "Quality Assurance
to ISO Guide 25/17025." Facilitated by Dr. Henrik S. Nielsen, these
courses will be held in Chicago, IL on April 30-May 1, 2001 and May
2-3, 2001 respectively. Both of these classes are designed for calibration
professionals, metrologists, quality and manufacturing engineers, quality
and metrology managers, auditors and assessors, quality system, developers.
- Stratagene
of La Jolla, Calif. announced the launch of a major new product, the
Mx4000™ multiplex quantitative PCR instrument system. The Mx4000 system
is the world's first instrument designed specifically for multiplexed
QPCR applications. The Mx4000 system supports all available fluorescent
chemistries and is intended to create a new standard for data analysis
and flexibility.
- As central robotic
servicing of machining cells has become more prevalent, it has created
the need to develop a gaging system that will inspect the parts for
a critical feature or two after the machining operation, and keep the
machining process under control at the same time. Edmunds
Gages' new Robot-Loaded Breakaway Pedestal Gage meets this challenge.
- CyberMetrics
Corporation and Tescina, Inc. have entered a joint agreement to
sell DataGet hardware with the GAGEtrak PDA. CyberMetrics is a leading
supplier to Fortune 500 companies, such as GM, Ford, Boeing, Motorola,
NASA, and the U.S. Military. Integrating DataGet hardware with their
existing GAGEtrak software allows customers to save time tracking gauges.
- Blue
Mountain Quality Resources, Inc. announces the release of Calibration
Manager PDA, the newest member of the popular Calibration Manager® product
line. Calibration Manager PDA enables seamless communication between
PDAs running the Palm OS® and the Calibration Manager software, making
the collection of field calibration data easy, efficient, and paper-free.
- Agilent
Technologies Inc. has introduced the Agilent 4288A capacitance meter
for high-speed testing of ceramic capacitors on the production line.
The Agilent 4288A delivers the highest throughput and highest measurement
accuracy of any available capacitance meter, and is 30 percent faster
than the Agilent 4278A, the current industry leader.
- The Honeywell
Precision Barometer (HPB) has been introduced as an outstanding
value to instrument builders that require accurate and stable barometric
measurements in real-world conditions. Designed with an extremely rugged
construction, the HPB can operate in severe humid, vibration, thermal
and mechanical shock environments. Its small size, low weight (5 ounces,
142 gms) and software versatility allows easy retrofit or design into
many new applications.
- Pinpoint
Laser Systems is introducing a revolutionary new 2 dimensional Microgage
for precision measuring, machine alignment, calibration, and other demanding
industrial applications. With a precision of 0.001 inch the Microgage
2D can be used for measuring in two axial directions at the same time
- even when the laser and receiver are separated by 70 feet or more.
- TA 2100 from MIL-RAM
Technology, provides Self-Calibration, Labor-Free auto self-calibration
adjusts span monthly based on life curve.
- Imada
Motorized test Stands offer consistent and reliaable testing. Our
Basic or Auto Cycle models are available in Standard, High, and Low
speeds. They accept any of the standard range Imada force gauges and
special attachments. Optional dynamic and static distance meters are
also available.
