Measurement

Digital gaging, or the software and hardware used to take and process digital measurements, has grown considerably in the past 20 years. It has also come a long way when it comes to advancing quality.  

Digital reverse engineering (RE) as a concept has exploded in recent years due to advances in technology and a growing awareness of best practices among manufacturers. 

The art of precision measurement is essentially all about the data that is obtained in the process and the value that it brings to a manufacturing operation. It is about making decisions based on high quality data.

Gages have evolved throughout the years beginning with mechanical, then electronic models, and now convenient wireless electronic versions have come on the scene. Each type has an important place in today’s quality control and inspection processes.

Go-to. It’s become a very popular term, one we have all probably heard, particularly if we talk business or watch sports.

Many company owners or managers are frequently asked by staff to consider bringing gage and instrument calibration in-house.

Quality control can be held up by complex parts which take time to measure, internal issues such as non-compliance and rework, and external problems, such as customer complaints. These challenges slow down productivity.

Portable coordinate measurement machines (CMMs) are reliable measurement tools that help to minimize product defects.
