Lion Precision has been measuring machine-tool spindle thermal growth and error motions in multiple axes for over ten years. To address the increasingly stringent requirements for micro-machining in precision tools, the company adapted its technology to target smaller scale measurements. The micromachining Spindle Error Analyzer (SEA) uses smaller versions of the noncontact probes, probe mounts, […]

Noncontact Infrared Temperature Sensors with Network Communication Options
Raytek has simplified connecting noncontact temperature sensing in industrial applications. Its MI3 infrared (IR) sensors are now compatible with the Modbus and Profibus network protocols. Multi-channel noncontact temperature measurements can be made with a range of optical resolutions (2:1, 10:1 or 22:1) and response times as fast as 20 mS. Offered in a temperature range […]
