Literature Describes New Corrosion-Resistant System Michelman, Inc. has made available new literature to explain the cost-saving advantages of RustBan, a Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) treatment for primary packaging of ferrous parts. RustBan is applied directly to corrugated, solid fiber, and other forms of paperboard during the converting process, thus eliminating the material and handling costs associated with placing corrosible products into VCI bags, or wrapping them with VCI treated paper before inserting them into a box or other package. RustBan treatment allows metal products to be placed into the primary package for storage and shipment; the packaging will protect against corrosion regardless of whether it is in direct contact with the contents. RustBan-treated packaging seems especially suited for the shipment of automotive parts, appliances, electronic components, gearing, machine tool components, and tooling; agricultural, military and marine equipment; for the shipment of corrosible metal parts of any kind; and for overseas shipments.

Laser Tracker Offers Exclusive Features FARO Technologies, Inc. has announced the release of FARO Laser Tracker SI.2. In addition to offering the same features found in the previous FARO tracker—230ft range, 0.001-in. accuracy, and a SuperADM feature that increased efficiency and reduced measurement times—the SI.2 has three advanced performance features. First, the tracker’s “Smart Warm-Up” runs automatically when the tracker is switched on and heats it to a stable temperature in half the time of the previous model. Second, “Self Comp” eliminates the compensation process: pressing one button is all that is required to have the FARO Tracker SI.2 perform a fully automated compensation routine in only five minutes. Finally, “Active Thermal Compensation” reduces fluctuations in measurement accuracies, known as measurement drift, by actively responding to changes in the Tracker’s temperature.

To use this system, an operator places the Tracker base on a tripod, and measurements are taken as the target reflector is touched or dragged along the surface to be measured. The Laser Tracker projects a beam that the reflector bounces back to the base unit. Using the angle and the distance to the target, software within the Tracker calculates and records the position of each point within its 230 ft range. If the beam between the Tracker and target is interrupted, its SuperADM (absolute distance measurement) feature allows it to require the beam without returning to a reference point.
