In the 20th century, internal combustion engines drove progress, but now automotive manufacturers are rapidly transitioning to EV production, requiring new metrology approaches.
The manufacturing industry relies on precision for safety and performance. Shaft measurement instruments are crucial for ensuring the functionality of mechanical systems.
George Washington and Thomas Jefferson advocated for weights and measures in the US, and a recent Saturday Night Live episode highlighted the confusion around this topic. This industry impacts everyone today.
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).
Manufacturers are facing stricter regulations and quality standards. Portable CMM arms help maintain exceptional quality control as they navigate these requirements.
In the past, measuring large parts and complex assemblies was time-consuming and prone to errors. The FARO® Vantage Laser Tracker has transformed this process by enabling on-site measurement in real time.
