Utilising a unique processing technology, the QuantuMike features a wider thread pitch. This enables the spindle to move at 2.0mm per rotation—four times faster than typical micrometres. This allows quick and efficient measurements, making it ideal for tasks requiring multiple dimension checks. The QuantuMike offers a maximum permissible error (Jmpe) of just ±1µm, ensuring it meets the requirements of high-precision workpieces. With an IP65 protection rating, this micrometer is water- and dust-resistant, capable of withstanding tough environments where exposure to coolant and debris is common. The ratchet thimble mechanism ensures stable, one-handed operation, providing tactile feedback through ratcheting sounds to confirm secure measurements. The speeder ratchet facilitates rapid spindle feed, enhancing efficiency. An approach speed warning function helps prevent damage from excessive speed, with a flashing display to alert users. Calibration management is made easier with warning alerts for upcoming calibration dates, ensuring your device remains accurate and reliable. The display is more extensive and easier to read from any angle, featuring clear measurement values and icons. Larger buttons enhance usability, and key operations can be customised for…

From 2024, commuters on sections of regional New South Wales began travelling on a state-of-the-art fleet of intercity trains. Named after the Dharug word for emu, the 610 carriages in the Mariyung fleet offer modern safety and advanced features for customers who make almost 45 million journeys a year on this network. To support these critical assets, Transport for NSW (TfNSW) constructed a 500,000 square metre depot at Kangy Angy, near the Central Coast. The TfNSW Intercity Fleet Maintenance Facility, which operates 24/7, features approximately 6 kilometres of electric rail lines and heavy equipment, including a 50-tonne wheel lathe. One of the core requirements for the facility was to implement a robust safety system, and CNFiTech was assigned the task of developing a flexible and functional design for a Depot Personnel Protection System (DPPS). The system needed to be SIL-2 rated, crafted using readily available proprietary safety hardware and software tools, and easy to…

A few years ago, Freighter Group, then named MaxiTRANS, seriously considered scrapping its heavy-duty truck trailer manufacturing business. It seemed an era was coming to an end at the Australian company, which had spent decades building up its production facilities, relying heavily on manual processes and a skilled workforce. Now, high labour costs and long lead times were eating into its profits, and it faced a crucial decision. But in a Herculean effort, the management team opted to transform the company’s old manufacturing facility into a Smart Factory. It figured it would take three tough years to turn things around – and now the company is seeing the first signs of success. Greg L’Estrange was working in the company’s facility in Ballarat when his phone rang. On the other end of the line was a forklift driver from the factory. “He asked me about one particular part. He wasn’t entirely sure where it was meant to go, but he had already worked out what he was going to do with it,” recalls L’Estrange, Executive…
