Heavy Duty Industrial Wet/Dry Vacuum Sump Cleaners
Every metalworking plant faces the problem of how to clean machines without wasting downtime for machine tools. Designed for effect and efficiency, the Eriez Hydroflow line of heavy-duty industrial wet/dry vacuum sump units cleans machine tool sumps, tanks, and pits quickly and thoroughly.

For example, available with single or twin compartments, the high-line sump cleaner holds a capacity of 65 gallons to 1,000 gallons, and removes coolant, sludge, and chips from the sump, then filters the sludge and chips from the coolant, and returns the filtered coolant to the sump, or transports the coolant to waste treatment or another recycling system. Full cleaning of a cylindrical grinder sump full of sludge takes just 10 minutes, resulting in coolant filtered and returned to the sump.

Many of the cleaners are maneuverable, like the 275-gallon single compartment push sump cleaner (also available with two 100-gallon compartments), which comes with built-in ball bearing wheels, and the reversible liquid vacuum, which is small enough for an operator to hold.

A variety of sizes makes the models ideal for large or small shops. The 50-gallon, push-around single compartment cleaner is designed for shops where space is limited.

Portable Oscilloscope Makes Medical Imaging Easier
Designed to take the guesswork out troubleshooting medical imaging equipment, the multi-functional 190M Medical ScopeMeter Portable Oscilloscope presents complicated data in simple-to-read formats, making hospital-complex computer testing easier.

Today, because of multiple interrelated technologies, most imaging requires sophisticated test equipment to ensure proper functionality and patient safety. However, the 190M combines the capabilities of a digital multi-meter with the performance of a bench oscilloscope and digital data storage/analysis of paperless recorder so a field technician can identify the root cause in complex problems.

The 190M measures short duration pulses, time-based signals, 3-phase power measurements, and transient and electrical noise systems are ideal for equipment, imaging, and power quality troubleshooting. A high-resolution waveform analysis enables visual performance inspection, while ideal waveform overlays allow for immediate analysis of machine performance.

Manual CMM Retrofit Adds Power to Software, USB Communications
Although the design of CMM surface plates are to last a long time, the communications interface and operating software can become quickly outdated, lowering the device’s effectiveness in today’s production environment. Developed to rectify that problem, the complete Manual CMM Retrofit adds the power of Verisurf X6 Software and USB communications to transform any manual CMM into a high performance 3D model-based inspection system, adding additional functionality and productivity features. Verisurf Software turns old CMMs into a high performance model-based inspection system by adding the power of Verisurf X6 Software.

Software comes in four configurations, customizable to each customer’s specific applications. The Inspection software supports both modern model-based measurement techniques and traditional blue print processes, and includes importing any CAD model, creating model associative GD&T, automated alignment of 3D CAD models to physical parts, and real-time probe position with deviation display. With the Inspection Pro, auto inspection programming, custom color deviation plots, and analysis reporting, are some of the included features.

Reverse Engineering includes features, such as digitizing parts directly in to CAD. The software also creates, imports, filters, and edits point clouds, as well as creating and editing CAD features like planes, holes, and pockets. Users can also create, import, and edit STL mesh surfaces with hole filling, slicing, feature recognition, and auto surfacing.

The Inspection Pro and Reverse Engineering software for CMMs offers the full range of features available with the Verisurf software.
