CONTROL traide fair from April 23rd to 26th

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We look forward to welcoming you to our booth at the CONTROL trade fair in Stuttgart this year.  CONTROL is THE trade fair when it comes to quality assurance.  It will take place from April 23rd to 26th, 2024 in the exhibition halls of Messe Stuttgart.  You can find us in Hall 8, Stand 8202 at the joint stand with the Fraunhofer Institute.  

Here we show our special exhibits on the topic of “non-contact measurement technology”.  In special machine construction and classic mechanical engineering, the demands on the precision of machine beds, linear guide systems and movement axes are increasing.  Various measuring technologies are shown for measuring the straightness of machine beds and linear guides using the inclination method as well as for non-contact measuring straightness, squareness and parallelism using the height method.

It's time!


The starting signal for our new project has been fired!  This year we are working on making our ELWIMAT-VFS DualWave with 4DoF evaluation ready for series production.  This means that with this sensor we simultaneously measure the angle and the lateral position in two orthogonal directions X and Y using two wavelengths (DualWave) and a combination reflector. One wavelength is reflected on the partially transparent plane mirror and is used to measure the angle.  The second wavelength is transmitted and reflected back via retro-reflection at the prism reflector and is used to measure position in two directions.  We already use similar equipment to assemble assemblies in semiconductor inspection systems and to assemble and adjust laser systems in selective laser melting SLM or 3D metal printing.  The latest system described here is used for the quick assembly and adjustment of mirror and optics assemblies in microscope assembly while simultaneously viewing all 4 degrees of freedom.  The new ELWIMAT-VFS DualWave system delivers up to 20 measured values ​​per second for each of the 4 values.  The picture shows the arrangement on the test stand in the calibration laboratory, where the angles in the range of +/- 2 degrees are calibrated to < 0.02 wmin and the lateral positions in the range of +/- 20 mm to < 1 to 2 micrometers.

We look forward to seeing you at our booth in 

 

Hall B1 - Booth 337 

 

Take a look at our classic measuring devices from the ELWIMATⓇ-group, we would be happy to talk to you about the latest developments in this regard.  

We also present the prototype of our new aspheric measurement device - aspheric measurement on both sides is now possible! 

 Only with us!

The Optatec international trade fair for optical technologies, components and systems will open its doors at its usual venue in Frankfurt from the 18th through the 20th of October, 2022. The significance of this leading trade is once again substantiated by the fact that more than 45% of all currently registered exhibitors come from outside of Germany. Nowhere else do experts, manufacturers and users of optotechnology and image processing meet in such a focused manner as at Optatec.

Production and quality assurance managers, as well as manufacturing directors and system integrators, are once again looking forward to Optatec 2022 as a key trade fair for the optotechnology and machine vision sectors. They’re able to gain a comprehensive impression of worldwide offerings for products, stand-alone and system solutions, as well as applications including optical components, optomechanics, optoelectronics, fibre-optics, fibre-optic cables, laser components and manufacturing systems. Optatec, which is taking place for the 15th time this year, has established itself as an exclusive industry meet – small, impressive and highly specialised. Expert visitors with decision-making competence meet up here with specialists from various fields and discover concentrated, state-of-the-art, future-oriented offerings. Trade fair visits are made use of to address precisely specific target groups and they make it much easier to arrive at investment decisions.
