IoT integration connects sensors and objects with each other and with applications and databases. CMMs benefit from this integration with multiple sensors integrated with metrology software and measurement databases.
Manufacturers are integrating metrology, using data analytics, automating maintenance, and embedding measurement processes in production for greater efficiency and predictability.
Most people have heard the phrase, “What gets measured gets done”; however, more than that, organizational excellence comes from having clear world-class performance measures that are consistently achieved.
The electronic height gage is a flexible tool that can be used for a wide range of evaluation options, such as first-part qualification, inspecting incoming parts, or measuring a series of parts.
Accurate thread ring gauges are crucial for quality and consistency of threaded parts. This article outlines the procedure for setting a thread ring to a master setting plug, as per ANSI B1.2 standards.
If drowning and in need of help, most people would yell for assistance. Similarly, choosing the wrong calibration equipment can have disastrous consequences.
From Theodolites to Laser Trackers: A 40-Year Metrology Revolution. Witness how a technical field has evolved, enabling single-micron accuracy at your fingertips and powering smart factories for unprecedented efficiency.
For precise bore measurements, handheld gages are limited as human feel impacts the readings, especially when checking bores in-machine. A more accurate solution, such as the Indicating Plug Gage, eliminates operator influence, ensuring stable readings and efficient recording of taper, ovality, size, and other crucial parameters.
