Te new mi- croscope is designed to offer a low-cost alternative to a standard toolmaker’s microscope or a video measuring sys- tem. Te portable Titan Tool XAM-1 can be placed over any workpiece to measure from point A to point B or any intermediate point along a straight line within the field of view. Five optional objectives are available (from 2-20X)
along with an optional 20X eyepiece. Visit

Automated Melt Transport System with Pressure-Tight Lid
StrikoWestofen, Gummersbach, Germany, has developed a new closed system to transport the melt to the dosing or holding furnace. Te Schnorkle is filled directly at the melting furnace, where the pressure-tight semi-cover is closed. Te system then moves the melt without atmospheric exposure. With a pressure-sealed transfer ladle, the melt is then fed directly into the filling funnel of the furnace using a transfer pipe to ensure a uniform flow rate and reproducible process flows. Te Schnorkle elimi- nates the need to tip casting ladles above the filling funnel with a lift truck. Te newly developed system
increases automation and safety for its operators. Visit
