It overcomes the limitations of traditional CMMs, laser trackers and photogrammetry systems by reducing the labor requirements, improving throughput, and increasing measurement repeatability. To see how the Laser Radar can improve your inspection process, contact us for a custom evaluation. Nikon Metrology nikonmetrology.com (949) 716-4440 sales.nm-us@nikon.com New Products SRG Grinding Steady Rests Feature New Sizes —SMW Autoblok SMW Autoblok has introduced an expanded SRG grinding steady rest lineup. Specifically designed to sup- port shaft type workpieces on grinding machines, the SRG steady rests are suitable for crankshaft and camshaft applications. Multiple new sizes are available, providing a clamping diam- eter range of 12 to 136 mm. Horizontal and vertical fine adjust- ments of the grinding center make high precision grinding possible. In combination with the retractable arms, these allow for rapid set-up, making this steady rest suitable for follow down grinding as well. The SRG line also features a port for compressed air, stroke control and central lubrication. QUAD 7 Carbide Tipped Band Saw Blades —Simonds Saws Simonds Saw has introduced QUAD 7 carbide tipped band saw blades for demanding production cut- ting operations. QUAD 7 blades are suitable for alloy; high chrome alloy; Inconel and other nickel-based alloys; titanium block and plate; stainless steels; and mold, tool and bearing steels. QUAD 7 blades feature a posi- tive rake angle four-tooth pattern that produces seven distinct chips. This provides high material penetration for faster cutting in production sawing al- loy applications. QUAD 7 carbide tipped blades are available in five widths: 3/4” x .050, 1-1/2” x .050, 2” x .062, 2-5/8” x .062 and 3-1/8” x .062 and are shipped in 150’ coils. Variable tooth pitch options include 2.5 - 3.5, 2-3, 1.9-2.1, 1.4-1.8, 1.1-1.4, and .9-1.1 teeth per inch (TPI). Expanding Collet Chuck —Northfield Precision Northfield Precision Instrument Cor- poration has introduced its newest expanding mandrel collet chuck. This chuck was custom-designed for a customer to clamp the minor diameter of an internal spline. While clamped, the customer machines the internal counter bore, the outside profile and the face of the workpiece. This chuck also includes air detect sensor holes and provides positive air blowout to keep chips and slurry away from clamping and locating surfaces.
