Manufacturing is not slowing down. Lead times are tightening, complexity is increasing, and quality control departments need to be able to keep pace with it.
Metrology is the science of inspection. It includes various measurement tools such as calipers, gauges, micrometers, and vision systems, which are often used for quality control in nondestructive testing (NDT).
Verisurf’s New Inspection Planner Suite lets users quickly and easily create and execute inspection plans for arms, trackers, scanners, and manual CMMs, including executing proven inspection plans on CNC CMMs.
Manufacturers are facing stricter regulations and quality standards. Portable CMM arms help maintain exceptional quality control as they navigate these requirements.
British coordinate measuring machine (CMM) manufacturer LK Metrology, Castle Donington, has announced the release of the latest version of its measurement, programming, simulation, analysis and reporting software.
Manufacturing for military readiness not only involves the initial production of arms, equipment, and technology but also the ongoing replacement and repair of degraded, outdated, or lost items, necessitating the use of the latest technology to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
In manufacturing, operators, inspectors, engineers, and systems measure characteristics to ensure product quality. This data helps monitor real-time processes, tracking performance indicators like cycle time, throughput, and efficiency.
Traditional measurement methods struggle with complex geometries and modern plastic parts. Advanced vision measuring systems offer advantages for automotive manufacturers, but traditional tools are still preferable in some areas.
