Gearing Up for Quality at Forest City
Keyence IM Series Instant Measurement system saves time and eliminates errors for this Illinois gear manufacturer. Quality inspector, Amy Sovina, says she's not a big fan of turning the knobs on an optical comparator. Not only is it time consuming and tedious, but measurement results are often subjective as well. So when she learned that her employer, Forest City Gear, was purchasing an IM Series...

Stable Measurement of Polished Targets Now Possible for ENR PWT
Photowatt, a pioneer in the solar-energy industry since 1979, uses Keyence's LK-G displacement sensor for high-precision detection of wafer thicknesses. In March 2012 the company was acquired by French utility EDF, via its EDF ENR subsidiary, now known as EDF ENR PWT.A wafer is a thin slice of semiconductor material, such as silicon, which generally measures between 200 and 300 microns in...

Fiber Laser Marker delivers full 30 W of power.
Suited for installation in tight spaces, Series MD-F3000 can permanently mark and etch dense, hard metals. Unit incorporates 3-axis beam control system, which ensures distortion-free marking across full 300 x 300 mm area without mechanisms to index target or marking head. Head has fanless design and is completely sealed from dirt and dust. Additional features include internal power monitor,...

Vision System features high-speed 5 megapixel camera.
KEYENCE CV-5000 Vision System includes 11x high-speed camera that transfers 2,432 x 2,050 pixel images at 16.3 images/sec. The 3+1 parallel processing system addresses heavy processing needs, and algorithms to detect foreign objects or burrs on irregular-shaped profiles and filter out glare or background noise are incorporated. Up to 4 cameras, capable of transferring images simultaneously, and...

CO2 Laser Marker delivers X-, Y-, and Z-axis functionality.
Utilizing 3-axis motion capabilities that promote visibility on deformed or curved surfaces, ML-Z 9500 Series can mark difficult shapes such as cylinders, cones, inclined planes, and spheres. System has distortion-free, 300 x 300 mm marking area and 42 mm variable focal length. Speeds up to 12,000 mm/sec on inclines, cylinders, or circular cones will not compromise character clarity, and spot...

Laser Optic Sensors measure as small as 0.24 in. thick.
LV-S Series of Super-small Digital Laser Optic Sensors includes 6 sensor head models that produce super-small, visible red beam spots ranging from 0.05-0.10 in. dia, at detecting distance of 19.69 in. Sensors operate with LV-11SA amplifier that has thickness of 0.35 in. and dual digital display to simultaneously displays light intensity and setting values.

Measurement Laser assesses thickness to 0.01 micron.
Using one sensor head, LT-9000 Series Laser Confocal Displacement Meters perform accurate measurements on transparent objects, even when target surfaces are wet, angled, or irregular. Sensor head incorporates CCD camera, and cross-hair cursor facilitates positioning of 2 micron beam spot. Built-in microscope provides continuous waveform display of topographic surface detail, and measurement modes...
