HIRT’s touch probes are specially designed for high-precision measuring applications. Depending on the measuring and assembly requirements, the probes offer different measuring strokes of ±1 mm, ±2 mm and ±5 mm as well as different variants such as F (spring feed), V (vacuum lift-off), P (pneumatic feed) and L (pneumatic feed with air gap seal). The cable outlet can be positioned either axially or radially.

3D PROBES & ACCESSORIES

 
We can supply you with high-quality probes with measuring spheres made of steel, ruby or ceramic, on request also with pivot holes for centering fixtures in all accuracy classes. These can also be put together as a measuring set in a wooden box.
Certificates as proof of compliance with standards can be enclosed on request.

Height gauges

 

The motorized height measuring device MICRO-HITE+M is characterized in particular by its exclusive patented adjustment wheel (FEEL&MOVE technology), which enables fast positioning of the probe and at the same time ensures a smooth execution of the measuring sequence.

It is a versatile workshop or laboratory machine that can be placed close to the user. The robustness of the cast-iron base and column makes it a reliable instrument with excellent repeatability and precision under a wide range of conditions.

In addition to the usual 1D basic functions, it offers advanced measurement modes such as angle, programming and 2D functions, which are particularly useful for complex metrological requirements.

The integrated patented QUICKCENTER technology not only provides clear information when simply probing, but is also advantageous when measuring the reversal points.

Each MICRO-HITE+M is supplied with a free SCS (Swiss Calibration Standards) measurement certificate, which avoids any additional costs for re-certification after purchase.

ROUGHNESS MEASUREMENT TACTILE

The roughness measuring devices from DIAVITE AG have long been THE STANDARD for surface measurement in many companies. The feed and the measuring probes together form the heart of the measuring devices and determine the precision of the measurement. The large selection of pushbuttons for a wide range of tasks that previously seemed unsolvable are the result of decades of experience in building these devices. Thanks to the integrated reference plane in the feed, precise measurements are also possible with free-moving probes, which also extends the application possibilities of the devices. Complicated fields of application in particular require simple, user-friendly push-buttons and evaluation units.

OPTICAL SURFACE METROLOGY

 
The ever-increasing demands placed on material surfaces – whether in terms of optical quality, optimization of friction surfaces, preparation of the workpiece for further processing steps or numerous other application aspects – require a great deal of expertise and the use of measuring devices that are as purpose-oriented as possible.

Thanks to our partner companies (who are technological leaders in their respective fields), we can offer you a very comprehensive range of surface measurement systems and advice on surface analysis.

The spectrum ranges from simple, mobile stylus devices and coating thickness gauges to fast scattered light sensors from Optosurf for three-dimensional surface observation.

KONTUR and roughness measuring device

This high-precision roughness and contour measuring device from IMTS integrates CAD drawings with functions for shape and position tolerance analysis, automates measuring sequences and seamlessly transfers the data to higher-level analysis systems for manufacturing processes. Special features include diameter determination from 0.8 to 150 mm, thread contour determination, auto-calibration, automatic zenith search and confusion-proof USB probe arms.

TORQUE TEST

Torque tests can be used to analyze the rotational behavior of an object – both in regular operating mode and under targeted overload up to failure or breakage. These torques can either be “dynamic”, which is typically the case at very high rotational speeds, or “static” at much lower speeds. Mecmesin specializes in high-precision solutions for static torque measurement.

TENSION-PRESSURE TEST

Mecmesin’s benchtop universal testing machines (UPM) are specially designed for precise tensile and compression testing of materials, products and components. These highly customizable universal inspection systems are controlled by the powerful and user-friendly VectorPro™ inspection software. This software enables efficient implementation and compliance with quality assurance standards in all areas of industry.

TORQUE MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY

Assembly processes require concepts to ensure the required tightening torque. Depending on the requirements of the bolting application, analyses and documented adjustment of the bolting tools must be carried out. The use of suitable measuring devices to trace the measured values back to comparable standards is therefore an important element of our consulting services.

We differentiate between in-process methods for representing and describing the assembly process and methods for analyzing and designing bolted joints.

Both directions also require high quality calibration methods, which we provide in cooperation with the DAkkS calibration laboratory of the company Schatz AG and the ÖKD calibration laboratory of CQS- Messtechnik GmbH.

HEARING TEST

Today, industry is faced with the task of having to develop high-performance products at ever lower cost, and is increasingly pushing the boundaries. The accuracy and performance of inspection systems is therefore crucial for meeting these increasing requirements. The more precise the inspection results, the more efficiently products can be inspected and production processes controlled.

Our partner KB Prüftechnik has decades of experience in the field of hardness testing and material testing.

The product range includes hardness testing machines and their modernization.

TEXTURE CHECK

Quality assurance in the food sector is becoming increasingly important. Parameters such as bite resistance of sausage, cutting power of cheese, consistency of jam with fruit pieces and spreadability of spreads are decisive for the consumer experience. The specialized measuring systems from Mecmesin and FTC precisely record and evaluate these properties using quantitative measurements.

An extensive range of accessories enables customized measuring processes to optimize product quality in various areas such as dairy products, meat and baked goods, confectionery, fruit and vegetables. Best practice examples offer suggestions for effective testing procedures.

FRICTION AND SHEAR TESTING

The peel test is used to evaluate adhesive quality and is a simple method of determining the bond strength of a material, particularly a thin layer applied to a substrate.

By measuring the stress properties between the adhesive and the bonded surface, it is extremely useful in evaluating the effects of processes (e.g. surface treatment) or real-life performance (e.g. environmental influences).

There are various methods of peel testing, but they all require that at least one flexible joining part is held in a pulling grip and separated from the other surface. The tensile force-elongation values are recorded continuously in order to obtain precise data for calculating the peel values. The main differences between the methods lie in the peel angles and whether the peel angle remains constant during the test.

VIBRATION ANALYSIS

Due to their high productivity, manufacturing processes have a high risk of costs due to repair failure. By observing the vibrations in the systems, efficient maintenance and servicing planning can be derived.

The balancing of rotating components is another element in ensuring an optimal (production) process. We offer both measuring devices and complete balancing systems from the Hofmann Balancing Group for monitoring your machines and products.

GRINDING WHEEL BALANCER

The EasyBalancer EB 3500 microcontroller-controlled vibration measuring and balancing device from HOFMANN is specially designed for balancing grinding wheels and grinding spindles. The spread angle procedure integrated in the EB 3100 for balancing in one plane is controlled by a clearly structured operator dialog. The positions of the sliding weights for correcting the unbalance are determined automatically.

The EB 3500 also offers measurement of the speed-synchronized unbalance vibration and the total vibration in the range from 10 Hz to 1 kHz. The sum vibration is the basis for assessing the condition of machines and systems in accordance with DIN ISO 10816-3.
