L.S. Starrett's Measurement Systems for Increased Throughput

The L.S. Starrett Co.’s metrology and force measurement systems feature automated inspection capabilities.

Starrett’s video-based measurement systems combine high-resolution images, intuitive software and precision mechanical platforms to provide accurate, repeatable measurement results. Automatic edge detection (or video edge detection) locates edges of parts being measured, enabling go/no-go comparisons to an engineering design, with no need for Mylar overlays. This is said to increase measurement throughput while eliminating operator subjectivity.

The company's AVR300 Multi-Sensor Vision System offers pattern recognition and automated inspection, featuring a large field of view (FOV). It is well suited for repetitive measurements and automatic comparison to CAD files.

The HDV Horizontal Digital Video Comparator combines the features of vision and optical comparator technology, while the HD400 Horizontal Dual Lens Comparator, which offers a two-lens mount that enables instant switching between two magnification lenses or video camera adapters.

The company’s Force Testing Systems feature flexible architecture that enables the range of Starrett force and material testing software programs to be compatible with its different test frames. The FMS Series test frame offers a Long-Range Extensometer that calculates elongation based on the overall distance moved. This fixture provides a long travel distance, critical for rubber and elastomer applications.  The FMM Computer-Based Force Testing Solution is compact and well suited for high-volume, lean manufacturing production.
