User-configurable load cell adapter
The Model PTA Plug & Test adapter from Mark-10 is an intelligent connector for adapting common strain-gage-based load cells and torque sensors to Mark-10 universal force/torque indicators. This product satisfies applications in the automotive, medical device, packaging, and many other industries. The included software utility has a library of programmable capacities and resolutions, and allows the user to assign a unique identification number. All calibration and configuration data is saved within the PTA adapter, allowing for interchangeability between sensors. Mark-10 indicators measure real-time and peak-load values, with sampling rates up to 7,000 Hz; data memory and statistics; USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo, and analog outputs; set-point indicators with outputs; and a range of additional functions.

Next generation of 3D scanning is fully automated
eQuality Tech, the exclusive distributor for Solutionix in the Americas, announces the immediate availability of Rexcan CS+, the first fully automated 3D scanner to integrate a turntable with four degrees of freedom for simpler setup and more comprehensive data acquisition. The new rotating and pivoting turntable eliminates scan targets and allows users to reorient a part by simply clicking on the computer screen; no need to physically move the part, turntable, or scanner. Rexcan CS+ can scan small intricate objects as efficiently as larger objects, in some cases drastically cutting the time from receipt of part to creating a full CAD model or inspection report.
