Quality control is crucial for meeting high product standards, and handheld gages are key to achieving such precision. But how exactly do these tools ensure accurate measurements?
Experts advise that calibration schedules should be both flexible and systematic. Alongside calibration and inspection, simple practices such as regular cleaning and proper storage are crucial for maintaining the accuracy and longevity of measurement tools, ensuring consistently high standards of precision and quality in manufacturing processes.
This article explores the transformative impact of incorporating rotary stages into coordinate measuring systems, enhancing their capabilities and the efficiency of the measurement process.
Quality sat down with Stefan Friedrich of New Scale Robotics to explain why quality is often one of the later steps to automate. Adopting a robot or cobot can be intimidating but it doesn’t need to be. Here he describes what quality professionals need to know. Hint: it’s not programming.
The manufacturing landscape is undergoing a profound transformation in the era of Industry 4.0, characterized by the integration of digital technologies, automation, and data-driven decision-making. Quality 4.0 is at the heart of this evolution.
The Deflategate scandal erupted following the 2014 AFC Championship Game between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts when accusations emerged that the Patriots had intentionally deflated footballs to gain an unfair advantage.
In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, the right support and service can make all the difference between a successful investment and a costly disappointment.
As brands and their suppliers adopt digital workflows to help accelerate product ideation and reduce waste, companies need to go beyond color and digitize both color and appearance characteristics.
Too much measurement uncertainty leads to incorrect conformity decisions, incorrect assessment of machines and production processes, poorer process quality and thus, increased production and testing effort.
