MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
Nanovea unveils new revolutionary N3 line Nanovea Inc has announced the arrival of the N3 line dedicated to providing high-end measurement technology to the broader market. Nanovea has fully automated its measurement techniques while designing to price in the US$20,000 (15,000 euros) market.
available: nanometer range, controlled load and depth and a competitive price to compete in the US$20,000 market. This provides universities and smaller R&D units the opportunity to afford nano-indentation capability. The M3 introduces an entirely new user capability with this price range, providing affordable access too quick and easy nano-indentation results under ASTM standard. Second, is to offer next generation technology to replace the traditional Visual Micro Vickers Hardness Testers that have not changed in more than 15 years. To achieve this, the indentation method has been made fully
T
automated with no need to visually observe the indent which eliminates user error or problems with image recognition software that may have issues with material colour and texture. Also, this new technology can achieve lower load and will work on thin coatings and all ranges of materials including ceramics, polymers, metals and others. The fully automated system has a touch screen start that gives an automatic average of multiple measurements in minutes. The unit is compact and fully contained with only one standard electrical cable to connect.
ZinKlad… supporting the highest quality
standards MacDermid says that its ZinKlad™ quality assurance programme is taking on the challenges for high performance automotive coatings of the future.
ntroduced 10 years ago, ZinKlad has enabled many global OEMs to specify higher standards than they achieved with previous, hexavalent chromium based coatings. In the new globalising world, OEMs must change and adapt, and ZinKlad continues to respond to these requirements worldwide. Today ZinKlad offers high performance coatings, proven consistent quality and a global network of approved applicators. Of course, compliance with legislation, such as
I
ELV & RoHS, and predictable torque-tension performance continue to be essential requirements. ZinKlad continues to deliver on all of these needs. “As we move into the future, you can be sure that
the high corrosion resistant coatings, freedom from proscribed materials and consistent friction control, will remain today as true as when ZinKlad was first specified.”

he headline of the N3 line is the M3, which Nanovea says is a breakthrough in technology that aims at two distinct aspects missing in the hardness testing market. First, the combination of three factors never before
But Nanovea didn’t stop there. The M3 is only one of three
new products from Nanovea’s new N3 line. Along with the M3 Nanovea has also introduced the P3 and the T3. According to Nanovea the P3 is a significant advancement
with 3D non-contact metrology, providing automatic nanometer ISO roughness and step data on nearly any material; a capability unavailable in the US$20,000 market. The P3 will provide to a broader market in need of automatic nano through macro roughness data without the high cost associated with a complete Profilometer system. And last but not least, the T3, like the P3 was developed to provide quick, easy and affordable access to high end measurement capability. The T3 is an automatic nano wear tester using linear reciprocating, ASTM g133, for wear rate study. “The N3 line is a revolution of high end material measurement
instruments, each in their own way and in their own markets. Each has been strategically designed to follow Nanovea’s goal to provide crucial nanotechnology to the broader market. As with many technologies being developed today to advance our society, price will ultimately control broad acceptance and use. It is no different with measurement technology and is just as crucial if not more,” said Pierre Leroux, Nanovea’s CEO.
The perfect combination
Brankamp states that it continues to set standards in terms of innovative and reliable process monitoring. For more than 30 years now, the focus has been on fault detection and machine protection. The latest coup from Brankamp developers is the ECO200.
Process data is displayed in high quality and can be read off the seven inch TFT LCD monitor in 16:9 format. The system is also easy to use with its intuitive operation; all important functions can be directly selected using a button. This includes envelope and maximum force monitoring, trend monitoring to control tool wear, auto-stop recording as well as counting and sorting functions. The ECO200 has a USB connection and Bluetooth capacity, as well as

a memory card on which collated data is saved. The ECO200 uses the network card to connect easily to the FactoryNet. The USB connection also makes it possible to use the innovative ‘Save and Rescue’ function. Software updates and
servicing can be carried out via tele-service quickly and securely using the Brankamp Internet Service Support (BISS).
rankamp explains that the modern Process Monitoring system combines decades of experience with the latest technology and has been especially designed for use on multi-stage presses, single and double printing presses, as well as thread rollers.
