Verisurf Software Announces New X7 Version
Enhanced output options, SPC analysis, and AS9102 reporting supported.
Verisurf has released the 7th generation of its Verisurf X software. With Model-Based GD&T Inspection technology at its core, the all-new computer-aided inspection, reverse engineering, and assembly guidance software now supports more options for reporting and presenting data, including Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Adobe 3D PDF Viewer. Features include:
- Integration with InspectionXpert and CM4D SPC software.
- Customizable data trees.
- Controls for repeatability testing and laser scanner measurements.
- Best fit in auto inspection.
- MBD manager capture view tool.
- Auto hole axis tool.
- Smart point tools for auto alignment targets.
- Improved feature and alignment scaling.
3D Inspection Profiling
Offering a new 3-D Profiling capability to inspection measurement, HEIDENHAIN’s versatile IK 5000 QUADRA-CHEK PC software system now gives operators the ability to quickly measure and determine parts profiles within desired tolerance zones. This feature compares the actual measured part to a three-dimensional model within the software.
Other functions of the 3D Profiling option include the ability to orient and align the model in all possible degrees of freedom, as well as to apply profile tolerances for any of the lines and surfaces either as an overall tolerance or specific to individual features or surfaces.
Circular Multi-Touch & Proximity Platform for Wearable Tech
Neonode has announced the release of a new, unique, and versatile Circular Multi-Sensing platform developed for wearable electronics and accessories.
The new waterproof solution from Neonode is specifically engineered to add enhanced multi-touch, gestures and touchless features to numerous new applications of wearable and accessory products.
- Ultra slim bezel and thin compact design for low profile products.
- Ultra low power consumption.
- Support for all type of display types and surfaces.
- Ability to sense air gestures and “outside of screen touch."
- Real-time vibration feedback and Illumination control for visual and light effects.
- Under water operation (submerged).
Timing & Inertial Measurement
University of Michigan engineering researchers have packed seven devices that together could potentially provide navigation in the absence of the satellite-based global positioning system (GPS.)
Timing and inertial measurement units are used as motion sensors in cellphones, game controllers and automotive systems, but have been used to navigate ships and aircraft before GPS was around. New advancements allow this unit to be much smaller than those before it and will more devices on board. At 13 cubic millimeters, this unit contains a highly-precise master clock and six sensors that detect movement in six different axes.
