the bottlenecks of traditional CMMs are removed, resulting in faster analysis and more data for improved process quality. The automated turnkey IQ
Stations are fast to install, con- figure and commission, while simplified programming and modification deliver flexibility and ease of use. Measurements may be made by choosing rou- tines based on preset robot loca- tions and defined turntable posi- tions, further reducing inspec- tion and analysis times. Four robotic APDIS IQ sta-
tions are available, depending on part size and measurement re- quirements, from single Laser Radar and turntable setups, to dual Laser Radar and robot se- tups for ultimate measurement productivity. Each is a turnkey configuration that has been de- signed in response to customer feedback. Nikon supplies, in- stalls and commissions the

measuring stations as well as providing programs, training and after-sales support. Nikon provides a variety of
products, services, and solutions worldwide, based on advanced opto-electronics and precision technologies cultivated during the company’s more than 100 years of history. The group continues to cre-
ate new values that contribute to improvement of quality of life and manufacturing in a wide va- riety of forms. Nikon’s Industrial Metrology Business Unit (IMBU) delivers integrated, optimized, ultra-high precision solutions that are not only customized and cost-effective but also work ex- tremely well as soon as they are implemented.

Light-Analyzing “Lab on a Chip”

allowing spectrometers to be dramatically scaled down in size from the current smallest ones, which are about the size of a grape.
The device is 100% electri-
cally controllable regarding the colors of light it absorbs, which
gives it massive potential for scalability and widespread us- ability, the researchers say. Those hyperspectral cameras could capture and analyze infor- mation not just from visible wavelengths but also allow for infrared imaging and analysis. Web:

located on the floor above the da- ta center, is reinforced to support the weight of an airplane. It con- tains 14 substations that provide 60 megawatts of electricity to power not only Aurora but future Argonne computing systems and the entire building’s day-to-day electricity needs. The electrical room is outfitted with a large ceiling hatch so the substations can be lowered in (and out if needed) by construction cranes. Once the major facility up-
grades were in place, the team moved on to improvements like making sure power is delivered to the right locations at the right voltage, installing heavy-duty floor tiles to support the massive supercomputer, and putting in pipes to link the water system to Aurora. The installation continued
this fall with the phased delivery of Aurora’s computing engine:
Intel’s state-of-the-art GPUs (graphics processing units) and CPUs (central processing units). Six GPUs and two CPUs are en- capsulated in a sleek, thin com- pute blade, which holds the hardware components that make up a machine. Blades will be in- serted vertically into each of Au- rora’s cabinets. The final phase will upgrade the system with high-bandwidth memory. Having much of the physical
system and supporting infra- structure in place has allowed Ar- gonne, Intel and Hewlett Packard Enterprise to test and fine-tune various components, such as the storage system and the cooling loop, ahead of the supercomput- er’s deployment so that it’s ready for science on day one. “It’s been amazing to see our
building go from a construction zone to a new state-of-the-art da- ta center,” Papka said. “We can’t wait to power on Aurora, open it up to the research community, and work with them to take their science to new levels.” Web:
