Zontec Releases Its Most Functional Single-Level SPC System		Zumbach Electronics introduces CSS Technology (Calibrated Single Scan)
Cincinnati OH., Zontec has announced the immediate availability of Version 6.0 for its Synergy 1000 Statistical Process Control Software. An update release, Synergy 1000 Version 6.0 contains 10 new features and program enhancements, making it the most robust standalone or workgroup SPC application available today. Version 6.0 builds on the real-time, production based capabilities, adverse event alarms, reporting and traceability tools designed into previous releases of the software along with an even greater emphasis on usability.		The new CSS technology invokes a number of detail innovations and improvements. The most important one: Each mirror is individually identified and its error characteristics is stored in a chip. This means that each mirror is individually calibrated. This means that now up to 1200 measurements/s, i.e. all measurements, are available for further processing. A high speed processor in the measuring head allows to filter and to analyse the measuring values depending the process (speed, product surface, dirt, water etc.) and to configure the further processing for min., max., average, ovality, fault detection etc.

Ono Sokki Technology’s Long Range Gage		Microgage 2D Transparent Receiver
Ono Sokki Technology, Inc.re-introduces the GS-1000 linear gage sensor. This gage was designed to measure dimensions, thickness, curvature, eccentricity, displacement, height, depth, flatness, variation, run -out, roundness, distortion, deflection, and also used for load and pressure inspection applications. This gage sensor uses the proven linear glass scale technology. The main advantage of this principle is that you can maintain high consistent accuracy and super sensitivity throughout the entire range.		New from Pinpoint Laser is the 2D Transparent Receiver which can be used for aligning production machinery and equipment. A narrow laser beam provides a measuring reference line that allows the Transparent Receiver to determine the position of a machine or sub-assembly relative to the laser beam The receiver operates over distances of a few inches to 100 feet and delivers measuring precision of less than 0.0005 inch, making it ideal for demanding industrial alignment applications.
