Today’s software systems are advancing faster than any other time in history. Each is going in different directions. The competition is not necessarily with the software company that creates and sells a specific software such as a calibration or quality management solution—the real differences are the platforms behind the scenes. 

For the most productive and efficient bore gage measuring solutions, it is beneficial to take some time to examine technology options. Choosing the right gage for your application will ultimately save tens of thousands of dollars and lead to increased accuracy. To begin the selection process, it is useful to review how you collect and record measurement data.

The trade show is focused exclusively on metrology equipment and systems used for assuring and improving manufacturing quality.

Establishing calibration intervals for gages and instruments is a tricky business, particularly if you’re starting from scratch. Calibration data, knowledge of metrology and experience come into play in this game so before we begin, let’s look at the goal we hope to achieve.

Dominant technologies to watch at IMTS 2018 include an increasing digital thread, robotics and automation, quality assurance and additive manufacturing.

Craig Kuchta, the new Fischer representative and technical adviser for this office, has more than 20 years of technical instrumentation sales and support of products by manufacturers such as Siemens, Honeywell and Wika.

Aloisi completed her PhD program in mechanical engineering from the University of Padova, Italy.

Adaptive will provide current NobleTek customers with access to, and support for, the Dassault portfolio of simulation and PLM software.

Step into the optical metrology world and one thing is clear. This vibrant business sector continues to innovate new designs of portable coordinate measuring machines (PCMMs) for the inspection of large components and fixtures.

Attendees access exclusive training and sessions, latest revisions of ASME and ISO GD&T standards, sneak peeks and high-value face time with PC-DMIS thought leaders.
