AUTOsense Touch Trigger Module for Touch Probing
This video features the AUTOsense touch trigger module. Developed for NDI by Renishaw, the AUTOsense module offers hard probe, scanning, and touch trigger capabilities. AUTOsense reduces unnecessary tip deflection errors by automatically taking measurements when the probe stylus contacts the part. During contact surface scanning AUTOsense does not continue measuring when the stylus leaves the work piece, eliminating invalid points. The result is greater convenience, higher measurement throughput, and measurement accuracy superior to standard methods.
ScanTRAK Laser Scanning
This video features the OPTOTRAK PROseries ScanTRAK handheld laser scanning solution being used to reverse engineer a part. The lightweight ScanTRAK laser scanner integrates a Mult-Sided Probe (MSP) that allows operators to freely orient it in all six degrees of freedom (6DOF) without beam break issues or mechanical restrictions, dramatically improving productivity. ScanTRAK is well suited for reverse engineering, part-to-CAD inspection, and inspection without CAD applications.

New OPTOTRAK Portable CMM
This video demonstrates the new OPTOTRAK Portable CMM being used for simple part alignment and feature measurement.
With the new OPTOTRAK Portable CMM you can measure more quickly and easily than alternative measuring arm technologies. With greater convenience and a substantial reduction in operator fatigue, you will dramatically increase measurement efficiency and throughput on the shop floor.
Robot Cell Calibration
This video demonstrated robot cell calibration. Robot cell calibration allows you to quickly identify and compensate for as-built differences between robots and robot cells, eliminating the need to manually touch up off-line generated programs. Accurately measure robot specific errors, Tool Center Positions, and cell related alignments.
Measuring Closure Dynamics (DMM)
This video demonstrates the benefits of NDI's Dynamic Measuring Machine (DMM) and how door or closure kinematics can be accurately measured at high data rates using this system.
Capture the fast, complex motion of multiple objects over large volumes with exceptional precision using NDI's DMM. The NDI Dynamic Measuring Machine is one of the most powerful and capable tools for advanced motion analysis.
Deformation Analysis (DMM)
This video demonstrates how NDI's Dynamic Measuring Machine (DMM) can be used for part deformation analysis.
NDI's DMM allows you to record the static position of a part and then measure the magnitude and direction of deformations in the part. This makes NDI's Dynamic Measuring Machine ideal for many applications, including fixture spring-back, thermal distortion, and wind loading deformation analysis.
Performing Structural Testing (DMM)
This video demonstrates how NDI's Dynamic Measuring Machine (DMM) can be used to analyze how a particular material or structural design will behave when exposed to certain forces. This type of analysis is critical to design verification and validation. NDI's DMM is based on advanced optical technology that can capture complex structural motion in real time. Using NDI's DMM, view, record, and examine the finest details of structural motion as it occurs.
Laser Scanning
This video demonstrates how laser scanning is used to compare a part to CAD data.
Take non-contact, point-cloud measurement to a higher level with laser scanning systems powered by NDIs advanced Optical Tracker. Quickly bring physical parts into the digital domain with handheld laser scanners that combine instant tracking performance with high-speed, non-contact surface scanning.

Part-to-CAD Freeform Measurement
A Portable CMM provides Part-to-CAD computer-aided inspection right on the shop floor. By bringing the machine to the part rather than the part to the machine, problems can be quickly solved at the source.
Operators simply use a handheld digitizing probe, or optional laser scanner, to quickly measure parts while the inspection software automatically compares measured data to corresponding CAD data.

Part-to-CAD Inspection
Use NDI's Portable CMM to perform part-to-CAD inspection on the shop floor using intuitive software that automatically compares measured points to CAD data in real time. Also benefit from Dynamic Referencing, a unique feature that compensates for movement between the part and measuring system.
