ParallelPro (photo) is a leveling tool designed for chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) processes, or any equipment requiring precise parallelism. Equipped with wireless communications and a field-serviceable battery pack, the ParallelPro measures offset distance, parallelism and temperature. Measurements are transmitted via Bluetooth to any tablet running a dedicated application, which also gives users the ability to save and analyze calibration data. Additionally, the high-capacity battery pack is specially designed for vacuum environments, providing safe, extended battery life and a high number of charge cycles. In high-precision process control settings like CVD processes, where calibration with the tool can be required several times a day on each machine, the new tool’s robust design and reduced service needs increase overall production efficiency and uptime. — Kaman Precision Products, Inc., Middletown, Conn.
