Austech 2010

Stand D103 - Sydney Showground, Olympic Park, May 11 - 14 2010

For the month of May 2010 we're releasing several limited time specials to run in conjunction with the Austech exhibition, so if you're looking for improved efficiency and profitibility then drop by our atand and discuss your needs with our experienced application engineers.

Make sure to also drop your business card into the box on our stand and enter the daily draw for a Sylvac IP67 electronic caliper.

Visitors to our stand this year will gain a glimpse into the latest developments that are available today in the world of inspection, reverse engineering and 3D modelling with the presentation of the latest technologies from leading equipment providers - Hexagon Metrology, Faro, MicroVu, Z Corporation, NDI and Innovmetric.

On display for the first time in Australia will be the all new Discovery series III from Sheffield Measurement. Sheffield's original Cordax Discovery CMM created the concept of affordable automatic dimensional inspection at the point of manufacture on the shop floor and this next generation Discovery III now offers higher accuracy, improved thermal performance, a new industrial design and expanded control options. Available in three measuring ranges from 500x600x400mm to 760x1000x600mm, this new CMM is sized to suit the majority of manufactured parts.
You will also see the latest generation 3D hand-held laser scanning system, the ZScanner 800 from Z Corporation which enables users to scan organic and free-form objects both accurately and quickly in order to develop tightly meshed datasets ready for importing into a range of 3D CAD packages. Alternatively for further refinement and post-processing the data can be imported into powerful point cloud engineering packages such as PolyWorks®, from InnovMetric Software, where advanced tools enable users to perform tasks such as hole filling, edge sharpening and full NURBS surface modelling. The ZScanner family of hand held 3D laser scanners now consists of five models, including the full-colour laser scanners for accurate texture mapping as well as the unique ZScanner 700PX model with its own add-on photogrammetry system which enables the ZScanner to accurately scan and measure large objects such as aircraft, water craft, and mining equipment etc.
Hi-Tech will also proudly show for the first time the very innovative hard probing, laser scanning and dynamic part measurement systems from Canadian-manufacturer NDI. These systems all use an optical tracker fitted with three specially developed CCD cameras which "track" the LED aerial system on either the hard probing system or the laser scanner. When dynamic measurement systems are used absolute stability between the part and the measuring device is no longer a critical issue, and the optical tracking systems such as the NDI system are only systems in the world that can guarantee measurement accuracy in areas of high vibration or for example, workshops where equipment movement is unavoidable.
To complete the array of leading edge inspection and reverse engineering technologies on display we will also have running the latest non-contact vision measuring system from MicroVu, the Vertex 420. The Vertex is ideal for measuring plastic, sheet metal and flexible components in the electronics, packaging, medical, scientific, and general engineering sectors. It is an easy and highly effective non contact coordinate measuring tool for industry that requires minimal training and skills development whilst producing highly repetitive, fast and accurate results.
