Metrology and force measurement machine specialist Starrett will be exhibiting at the exhibition Control in Stuttgart.

The international trade show will run from 24-26 April 2018 at the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre. Visitors to the show can meet Starrett’s engineers in Hall 6, Stand 6424 to learn how the company’s machinery and software can help improve quality assurance.

Control is one of the biggest events in Europe that is solely focused on best practice and new technology for quality assurance. Over 900 manufacturers and distributors are set to exhibit at this year’s show, demonstrating an array of tools and techniques to give manufacturers a competitive edge.

At Control, Starrett will be exhibiting several machines from its metrology and force measurement lines, as well as introducing visitors to its bespoke force measurement software.

“Force testing ensures the delivery of a higher standard of customer experience,” said Mark Murdie, metrology support engineer at Starrett. “Depending on the product and the sector you operate in, you will have different demands of testing equipment and software, in addition to differing levels of in-house skills to operate the technology.

“This is why we have developed a range of force testing software to suit different needs. Our L1 software, for example, has been developed to specifically meet the needs of basic load, distance and force measurement testing for production and quality control environments. This software doesn’t require prior programming knowledge and it is pre-programmed with built-in quick-test software templates.

“For more advanced requirements, we developed our L2 and L2+ software, which are ideal for lean manufacturing environments. This software is suited to high volume, in-situ production applications where incoming inspection and validation is required. More advanced test set-ups can be created in seconds using our test builder programme without any previous programming experience.”

Several force measurement machines will be on view at Starrett’s stand, along with a selection of non-contact metrology equipment including video measurement machines and optical profile projectors, such as the VB300.

The VB300 has been designed to meet the demands of the modern metrology industry without requiring large capital investment. The vertical benchtop projector is ideal for rapid inspection of small, lightweight components, plastic mouldings and small electronic components. It incorporates a fully useable 300mm diameter upright screen with precision cross lines, overlay clips and integral hood.

The VB300 can also be equipped with either a simple, integrated LED readout display or a choice of Metlogix or Quadra-Check geometric readouts.
