Nikon Metrology, Inc, and Hyundai Motor North America announced that Hyundai has purchased and installed Nikon’s X-ray computed tomography (CT) system.
In-process verification uses high-tech tools like 3D scanners and laser trackers on the factory floor to monitor products as they're made, allowing instant analysis and immediate problem-solving.
Our intent is to bring awareness to the importance of close out calibrations and where not possible as in the case of catastrophic failure, having a system in place that provides confidence that non-conforming parts have not been released.
Equipment failure disrupts routine calibrations, making it hard to verify specifications. Consider the impact on products since the last calibration and document assumptions about equipment tolerance.
We're introducing a new column to share important metrology and quality news, interesting dates, and unique facts in a brief format. Your comments and suggestions are welcome.
One of the most practical ways to achieve collaboration is to get all stakeholders to agree to the same definition of quality, and work together to deliver the project on time and within budget.
The most significant challenge for a complex construction project is the need for collaboration and the creation of a unified team from the multiple performing organizations involved in the project, despite being traditional adversaries with conflicting objectives.
The L.S. Starrett Company announced the introduction of its No. W4900 Wireless Digital Electronic Indicator innovation, a precision measurement gage featuring touchscreen technology, multiple resolution and color settings, digital and analog readouts in the same indicator, seven languages, wireless output and many other unique features.
Standards aren’t just one person’s ideas of how something should work; they are consensus-based, or industry specific requirements developed by subject matter experts.
Technological advances enable global expansion, but growth presents challenges. Standardization and certification minimize risk and maximize opportunities.
Starting March 1, 2024, a standalone Control Plan Reference Manual will maintain linkages between core tools under APQP, providing more guidance for creating and using control plans.
The NimbleTrack wireless 3D scanning system is highly compact and agile, which is designed to redefine the precise 3D measurements of small-to-medium-sized parts.
