Mitutoyo Announces New SV-C3200/4500

Mitutoyo Announces New SV-C3200/4500

We are pleased to announce the addition of the new SV-C3200/4500 Formtracer to our line of Form Measurement Instruments. These models replace the already successful SV-C3100/4100 units. Numerous innovative features combined with high accuracy and a competitive price makes this instrument the new leader in its class.
The main features of the SV-C3200/4500 are as follows:
  • Use of ARC encoder technology that is derived from the CV-1000 Series, the new models are able to expand the Z1-axis measuring range and maintain its high accuracy and increase resolution specifications.
  • New quick change arm design that is now held by magnet also allows for a 10mm increase in Z1-axis measuring range. This will also help prevent interference with work piece setup, can reduce expensive stylus damage and lead time for exchanging arm.
  • Added features to the NEW SV-C4500 models are the Adjustable Measuring Force thru the software and the Bidirectional Measurement stylus that allows measurement of pitch circle diameters without changing arm orientation.
  • The H4 configuration machines will be the common stock systems for Mitutoyo America Corporation. We will keep a supply of other models in stock and/or the production pipeline in limited quantites.

If you would like further information or assistance regarding the SV-C3200/4500, please contact your Mitutoyo sales representative or the Mitutoyo sales office in your area.
Remarks: See table below for specifications and Bulletin 2070 for additional product details.

About Light Tool Supply

 

 


For as long as I can remember, I have been surrounded by tools. As a young boy I worked summers packing orders and unloading trucks at my father's tool and supply company. After graduating from college, I immediately went to work full-time for my father and have been in this industry ever since.  Over the years I have learned this business inside and out and have spent many hours using that knowledge to improve the mail order supply business. I have seen that business change drastically over the years. The most dramatic change is from a business based on the paper catalog to one based on products sold via the internet. Subsequently, after many years of experience, I decided to create my own company to do what I know best. Light Tool Supply is now quickly bringing tools to loyal customers at the best prices possible.  I encourage you to use our vast experience as a resource for all your tooling needs.  If you see something on our website that you do not feel is the best price, please feel free to email me directly at michael@lighttoolsupply.com.  I also would like you to email me or my staff with any manufacturer's Part# from our long list of vendors. Additionally, do not hesitate to contact Light Tool Supply with any of our competitors' part numbers. It would be my pleasure to cross reference those part numbers with ours and beat their prices! I realize there are many companies to choose from; I hope you will choose Light Tool Supply.




    Thank you,

Factory Orders Take Biggest Dive in 3 Years

http://www.lighttoolsupply.com


New orders for U.S. factory goods in March recorded their biggest decline in three years as demand for transportation equipment and a range of other goods slumped, government data showed on Wednesday.
The Commerce Department said orders for manufactured goods dropped 1.5 percent after a revised 1.1 percent rise in February.
Economists had forecast orders falling 1.6 percent after a previously reported 1.3 percent increase in February.
While the report showed broad weakness in March in a sector that has carried the economic recovery, anecdotal evidence suggests factories continued to expand as the second quarter started.
The Institute for Supply Management's index of national manufacturing activity climbed to a 10-month high in April, with a measure of new orders received by factories the highest in a year, data showed on Tuesday.
The Commerce Department report showed orders for transportation equipment tumbled 12.6 percent in March on weak orders for civilian aircraft. Orders for motor vehicles and parts was flat in March after rising 1 percent in February.
Auto sales surged early in the year reflecting pent-up demand from households after a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan caused disruptions to auto production in 2011 and left dealers without models that consumers wanted to buy.
Industry data on Tuesday showed motor vehicle sales increased at an annual rate of 14.4 million units in April after rising at a 14.3 million unit pace in March, suggesting fundamental strength in the sector.
Strong auto sales buoyed consumer spending in the first quarter and contributed significantly to the economy's 2.2 percent growth pace during that period.
Factory goods orders excluding transportation were flat in March after rising 1 percent the prior month.
Unfilled orders at U.S. factories edged up 0.1 percent after rising 1.2 percent in February. Shipments of factory goods increased 0.7 percent after rising 0.1 percent the prior month, while inventories gained 0.3 percent.
The department said orders for durable goods, manufactured products expected to last three years or more, fell 4 percent instead of the 4.2 percent decline reported last week.
Durable goods orders excluding transportation were down 0.8 percent rather than 1.1 percent.
Orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft -- seen as a measure of business confidence and spending plans - dipped 0.1 percent in March instead of the previously reported 0.8 percent drop.
