Reverse engineering as a term is adopted by many industry subsets. From genetics, computer code, complex PCBs (printed circuit boards), and even military espionage. In this article, we are specifically relating to a metrology-driven process steered by high-precision 3D data acquisition tools.
It is crucial to hit the right color tone in the production process and to produce it homogeneously across numerous batches. Color not only leaves an impression of quality, but can also be used as an indirect variable to control the process.
When RYE explored ways to improve the accuracy, integrity and throughput of its precision measurement data, the decision to deploy DataSure® 4.0, the industry’s latest data acquisition solution developed by The L.S. Starrett Co. of Athol, MA, boiled down to — you guessed it – seconds.
Manufacturers often look at collaborative robots, or cobots, as an ideal way to enhance production efficiency, with human workers and automation working closely together.
Color is a critical part of any product. It’s the first thing your customer sees. Whether you are manufacturing components for assembly or finished assembled goods, the color has to be right every time or you risk scrapping, reworking, or discounting the product. This impacts your bottom line.
When Donald Engineering sales manager Jim Kortman describes his aluminum extruder client of 28 years, he reaches for a deceptively simple analogy: the Play-Doh Fun Factory.
Preventing both warranty issues and field problems due to lack of product reliability.

When faced with potential reliability issues, original equipment manufacturers must quickly find the root cause and determine the risk for other equipment still operating in the field.
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry is a useful technology to measure the thickness of metal layers. Handheld XRF is an indispensable tool in quality assurance.
