TESA Hand Tools
Why use a sledgehammer to swat a fly?
Sometimes less is more and cutting edge technology is not the answer. When quality, dependability and workmanship are your main concerns turn to Brown and Sharpe's wide array of hand tools.
Manufactured under the brand name TESA, calipers, thread gages, bore and height measuring devices are suitable for countless applications in the metrology lab or on the production floor.
For simple measurement tasks, visit TESA's catalog to view a countless array of available hand tools.
Sheffield Measurement
Sheffield Discovery III
The original CMM that moved inspection out of the lab and onto the shop floor.
Discovery III uses hardened machine tool re-circulating ball bearings instead of air bearings. With no need for air and a roll-around stand, Discovery III provides the ultimate in flexibility when it comes to shop floor layout.
Flexibility with Discovery III also comes in its measurement capabilities. Easily switch between touch trigger probes, analog probes, laser scanners, or vision sensors. Use Discovery III to measure medical devices and implants, pharmaceuticals, aerospace components, automotive parts, and various packaging containers.
Still affordable and more capable than ever, Discovery III is the answer to your shop floor measurement needs. Visit our Discovery III online catalog to learn more.
ROMER
ROMER Absolute Arms
Absolute Precision. Absolute Portability.
The ROMER Absolute Arm is the latest ROMER innovation. Drawing design inspiration from the entire Hexagon Metrology product family, and all ROMER arms that came before, the ROMER Absolute Arm is the lightest, most accurate, most flexible ROMER arm ever.
Whether your application is the measurement of plate and fabricated metal components, molded parts, composite materials, or vehicle bodies, ROMER's Absolute Arm is the right choice.
The ROMER Absolute Arm features proprietary absolute encoders in its primary axes, so the arm always "knows" the position of its joints. When the arm is turned on, it's ready to go. Perfect for high throughput shop floors, especially those with confined spaces where typical homing procedures are difficult to perform.
Incorporate the Absolute Arm into your shop to ensure quality, reduce scrap, and control processes. Visit our Absolute Arm product overview page to see how.

ROMER MultiGage
Rugged and flexible for all your shop floor needs.
The six-axis MultiGage is a portable, precision CMM with a 1.2 m measuring volume. The MultiGage is used for dimensional control of molds, parts, tooling, castings, and more. Its quick-mount system allows it to be setup for on-demand measurement and inspection of parts practically anywhere.
With the MultiGage, you can streamline the measurement process and replace a variety of handheld tools such as height gages, dial calipers, bore gages, gage blocks, micrometers, and dial indicators. Easy to install and use, the system's plug-and-play probes and ultra-intuitive software interface add up to no-nonsense operation.
When tough and flexible is what you need, look no further than Multigage. Visit Multigage's online catalog to learn more.
m&h
m&h Probes
State of the art probes for demanding applications.
m&h is characterized by its strengths in machine tool expertise, continuous technical innovation, focus on customers' manufacturing processes, and application engineering. Individualized, customer focused advice and development are part of our commitment to excellence.
A maker of high quality Infrared and Radio wave touch probes and toolsetters since 1991, m&h manufactures probes used in the aerospace, automotive, mold and die, railway, and power generation industries. However, m&h probes can also be found on equipment in the appliance and precision manufacturing industries.
When you need precision at the workpiece, look to m&h probes. Visit our m&h brand page for more information.
Leica Geosystems
Leica Absolute Tracker AT401
Absolutely small. Absolutely portable. Absolutely innovative.
The Absolute Tracker AT401 is the first battery powered, WiFi capable, ultra-long range laser tracker that's so small and lightweight it can actually be carried onboard an airliner as carry-on luggage.
A completely sealed IP54 certified design means this sensor can be installed in the most unforgiving environments. Not even spraying coolant, dust, and weld splash are too harsh.
User friendly PowerLock vision technology detects a reflector and automatically locks on the laser beam, even when the target is moving. Perfect for aerospace tooling, ship building, or heavy transportation applications!
When large components are the norm for your shop floor, see how the Leica Absolute Tracker fits your needs. Visit our Leica brand page for more information.

PC-DMIS NC
Precision on your CNC machine.
PC-DMIS NC is in-process metrology systems for CNC machines. The software is aimed at reducing scrap and rework. Both PC-DMIS NC and PC-DMIS NC Gage selectively measure subgroups of features during setup and periodically during production,ferreting out faults associated with programming errors, bad setups and excessive tool wear. Minor mistakes and oversights no longer lead to major manufacturing disasters.
PC-DMIS NC offers a full metrology tool set for the most demanding machine tool probing projects while PC-DMIS NC Gage offers simple and intuitive tools perfect for the CNC Operator. Both versions save time by simplifying the jobs of setup and alignment while reducing the need for manual inspection - not to mention the logistical nightmare of moving parts to and from off-line inspection equipment. Measuring extremely large parts, qualifying raw castings and calculating complex alignments that were either difficult or impossible to do now become straightforward programming tasks.
Our PC-DMIS NC products, with their built-in analytical capabilities, can quickly spot problems on a particular feature and immediately alert users.
Learn more about how to measure your parts while they're still in production. Visit our PC-DMIS NC online catalog to see how.
