Quality professionals quickly learn that they need to deal with a barrage of situations where their expertise is required to intervene, provide perspective, or in some cases lead teams to come up with a solution.
While magnetic particle inspection techniques have stood the test of time, the equipment involved has seen updates to keep up with demand, experts say.
Magnetic particle inspection ensures that parts are free of fatigue stress, structural defects, or stress cracks. The technology, which can be applied to existing, in-use parts, or newly manufactured parts and components that require integrity testing, has been around for more than a century.
>Manufacturers want more data in the product development process to create better products, and they need solutions that can perform in any condition, especially when running field testing.
With a new model variant of the proven sensor series P47, PiL Sensoren GmbH underlines its flexibility in the development of customized special solutions.
ZKW Lighting Systems develops and manufactures innovative, high-quality lighting systems for the automobile industry. But new materials, complex designs and tight tolerances push conventional metrology to its limits. Two ZEISS METROTOM computer tomographs offer completely new possibilities.
Digital twin solutions are emerging throughout smart factories everywhere. Virtual replicas of factory floors provide real-time information about processes, system health, performance and more. But why not apply digital twin methodology in other manufacturing stages, such as quality control?
Whether you’re machining or inspecting, the profits are in the speed of the swap. Like CNC machining, it should no longer be a question of if you need inspection fixturing, but what type.
In order for a measurement to be valid, i.e., to have measurement (metrological) traceability, it must be stated with its associated measurement uncertainty.
