Beta LaserMike Webinar - Understanding Laser Measurement


Global competition is fierce and it’s placing increasing market demands on converters to optimize productivity, improve quality control, and reduce waste to remain economically competitive. A main driver to achieving this goal is the ability for manufacturers to accurately measure the length and speed of materials being produced.
Beta LaserMike’s LaserSpeed® non-contact encoder is helping converters worldwide to precisely control the length and speed of their products during production, so they produce higher-quality converted goods more profitably that meet exact customer specifications. During this 30-minute technical webinar, you’ll learn:
  • Why tachometers and mechanical-based contact encoders are an inaccurate method for measuring length and speed
  • How LaserSpeed non-contact, laser measurement works
  • How LaserSpeed is being used in manufacturing applications such as measuring continuous product length and speed, controlling cutting systems, differential product speed, and product positioning
  • How you can minimize product waste and eliminate product give-away and shortages to customers
  • How LaserSpeed will give you a fast return-on-investment by measuring length and speed more accurately
Attend this webinar to find out how LaserSpeed can give you the productivity advantage. Please complete the following form to register for this webinar. Space is limited, so register today!

Rofin-Baasel Introduces EasyMark RT Rotary Table Laser Marker

Rofin-Baasel Inc., Devens, Mass., has introduced the RT version of its family of EasyMark table top laser marking systems. The Rotary Table design greatly increases product throughput by use of a 13.5-inch diameter two-position indexing table that allows simultaneous part marking and loading. The RT system does away with repetitively opening and closing of the door with each loading of a part.
ROFIN's EasyMark RT Laser Marker



Both metals and plastic parts can be marked within the120 mm x 120 mm marking field. Logos, text, graphics, and 1 and 2 D barcodes can readily be marked. ROFIN’s VLM (VisualLaserMarker) software allows mark program files and laser control files to be downloaded directly from the user’s laptop or desk-top computer.
The EasyMark laser offers unique and versatile performance, including high beam quality and excellent pulse stability. It is completely air-cooled and plugs into any 110 outlet. Rofin’s end-pumped diode technology offers long diode life and near zero maintenance operation.

Rofin-Baasel Inc. is a division of Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc.

New Mitutoyo USB Input Tool

We are pleased to announce that Mitutoyo has added the new USB INPUT TOOL.


Mitutoyo USB Input
The input tool has been streamlined by incorporating the USB function into the cable.
Also, to complement the USB Input Tool, Mitutoyo is offering measurement data collection software (USB-ITPAK).

Although measurement data can be simply loaded directly into an excel spreadsheet, the USB-ITPAKsoftware enables time-saving operations and procedures that significantly improve reliability and efficiency.
We believe that these products will contribute to the improvement of quality control and productivity in your customers’ workplace.

If you would like further information or assistance regarding the MITUTOYO USB INPUT TOOL and USB-ITPAK,
