Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) play a crucial role in verifying the dimensions of manufactured parts with precision control. CMM controllers are central to coordinating movements and processing data, driving technological advancements in the metrology industry.
In modern manufacturing, it's crucial to validate parts immediately after manufacturing or assembly and detect defects before further processing. Automation in manufacturing has outpaced inspection processes, creating a challenge and opportunity for the metrology industry.
At Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS), Professor Christian Zirkelbach is teaching robotics and machine vision at Faculty of Applied Natural Sciences and Humanities.
As an accreditation assessor, I can say that many common assessment deficiencies could have been prevented if the calibration certificate had been thoroughly reviewed.
This article is an adaptation of my popular presentation, “Beyond the Sticker & the Cert (Ensuring Better Measurements & Reducing Risk).” Product manufacturers, testing labs, and calibration labs often overlook the importance of thoroughly reviewing calibration certificates, leading to potential measurement inaccuracies and increased risks.
Beamex announced the relocation of its US operations, including its state-of-the-art calibration laboratory and warehouse, to a new, expanded facility in Atlanta, GA.
I kept waking up at 7:47 and also noticed the same time on the clock in the evenings. When I mentioned it to my niece, she said it happens to her too, at a different time of the day.
The quality department is well positioned to address energy efficiency within an organization. Efficient processes are a cornerstone of quality management.
A paper released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
addresses the importance of renewable energy in mitigating climate change and the challenges posed by the global energy crisis. It emphasizes the need to improve energy efficiency in response to increased energy consumption worldwide.
Leaders prioritize efficiency and productivity over quality management, compromising long-term standards, evident in the widespread adoption of operational excellence programs like Lean and Six Sigma.
The concept of Kaizen revolves around continuous improvement by making small changes on a regular basis. It involves every employee contributing improvement suggestions regularly, creating a culture focused on small, continuous improvements across the organization.
