Renishaw, Mahr, SHINING 3D & Specim Drive Proactive Manufacturing Intelligence
Renishaw has introduced the Strada Intelligent Raman Microscope, making high-performance chemical and material analysis more accessible. Meanwhile, Mahr's MarSurf3D is redefining optical 3D multi-sensor measurement for diverse inspection challenges. SHINING 3D is integrating the latest intelligent 3D scanners in their entry-level portfolio, and Specim has announced the high-resolution Specim SX25 SWIR hyperspectral camera. These innovations are driving a shift towards proactive control in manufacturing intelligence.
The Strada Intelligent Raman Microscope from Renishaw offers high-performance chemical and material analysis at an affordable price. It uses intelligent automation to provide accurate results quickly.
Mahr's MarSurf3D redefines optical 3D multi-sensor measurement by combining multiple sensors to capture detailed surface data. This allows for comprehensive inspection of complex parts.
SHINING 3D is expanding its entry-level portfolio with the integration of the latest intelligent 3D scanners. This includes the EINSTAR Rockit and EINSTAR 2, which offer high-speed, high-accuracy scanning.
Specim's new Specim SX25 SWIR hyperspectral camera provides high-resolution imaging for advanced material analysis. It can detect subtle differences in materials that other cameras might miss.
Manufacturing intelligence is transforming quality control. Instead of reacting to issues, companies can now anticipate and prevent them. Smart sensors and digital twins, like INSPHERE's ORA robot control software, enable real-time corrections and seamless factory connectivity.
GMT Wintersteller uses 3D scanning to optimize the quality of large steel parts. By capturing detailed 3D data, they can identify and address issues before they become major problems.
Despite automation advances, portable manual metrology tools remain relevant. They allow for flexible, on-site measurements and can be used to verify or calibrate automated systems.
These innovations in 3D scanning, hyperspectral imaging, and manufacturing intelligence are enhancing quality control and process optimization. They enable companies to detect issues earlier, improve product quality, and increase efficiency. Despite automation, manual metrology tools continue to play a crucial role in maintaining accurate measurements.
