(HEIDENHAIN Corp.: Schaumburg, IL) -- The new Quadra-Chek ND 1300 digital readout (DRO)—especially designed for convenient 2-D measurement and featuring a cutting-edge video system—is now available exclusively through the global distribution network of HEIDENHAIN Corp. Previously known and sold by the HEIDENHAIN subsidiary, METRONICS Inc., Quadra-Chek DROs continue to hold a top spot when supporting gauging systems, but will no longer carry the METRONICS name. Since 1983, METRONICS has been active in the metrology market with coordinate measuring machines, profile projectors, tool presetters, and measuring microscopes. 

The newest ND 1300 Quadra-Chek (one of five of the current HEIDENHAIN Quadra-Cheks) sports a new dark gray faceplate while maintaining all the great features of the recent past, including the Quadra-Chek brand name. Benefiting from the considerable resources of HEIDENHAIN Corp., Quadra-Chek customers will experience an expanded sales, service, and technical support structure. Purchasers of the new ND 1300 DRO can expect a high-quality gauging workhorse with support of up to four axes.
