Spectro Releases Handheld EDXRF Spectrometer xSORT
xSORT is a high-throughput elemental testing and spectrochemical analysis tool that is ideal for positive material identification (PMI), environmental screening, recycling of alloys, precious metals, and aluminum, plus mining and compliance screening.
Mitutoyo releases affordable 1.7 µm class CNC CMM
With a maximum error of MPEE = (1.7+3L/1000) μm, the new CMM more than doubles the effective measuring range at a given measurement tolerance as compared to typical CMMs in its class. Additionally, the CRYSTA-Apex®S drive features high-speed (max 519 mm/s) and high acceleration (max 2,309 mm/s2). These advances result in higher throughput for greater productivity and lower total owning and operating costs.
3-in-1 Sensor from OSRAM Combines IR LED to Detect Proximity and Ambient Light
The new “3 in 1” SFH 7773 digital sensor from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors makes it easier than ever to install both proximity and ambient light sensing in smart phones and similar devices by combining the functions of a digital ambient light sensor and a digital proximity sensor in a single compact unit. It also simplifies […]

Cornell University researchers have discovered a new way of measuring […]
3D Phase Measurement Eliminates Need To Change Tip
The 3D Phase Measurement is a measurement technique that provides 3 dimensional imaging to increase accuracy and productivity in aerospace and rotating equipment applications. Paired with the XLG3 Video Borescope, this technology provides accurate 3 dimensional surface scans using a single probe tip. In effect, the 3D Phase Measurement provides accurate measurement “on-demand” by eliminating […]
