Two basic types of tensile test are broadly relevant; is the test specimen strong enough to resist breakage, or is it easy to use safely and efficiently?

When air gaging was introduced, it provided the first high-performance 50u”/1um or better gaging on the shop floor. In fact, air gaging provided two breakthroughs for dimensional measurement.

Foundational benefits of today’s wireless measurement systems include automation, ease of operation, streamlined scalability, robust data encryption and protection, unrestricted distances and unencumbered use for transmission. Now it’s time to plan how to implement the system.

CPR for internal auditors is an acronym designed to help internal auditors remember concepts for conducting better audits. The acronym represents conformance/compliance; process approach; and risk-based thinking.

Have you ever had the inclination to start your own business but were confronted with the dilemma of not knowing how to run all aspects of a business?

You have no doubt heard of ChatGPT, or Google’s Bard, or one of the many artificial intelligence chatbots. These chatbots allow the user to simply type in a command to write something and spit out an essay, or even a poem.

Until the CoaXPress v2.1 standard was released in 2021, the only physical medium between cameras, PCs, and frame grabbers for the CoaXPress (CXP) interface had been 75Ω coaxial cable. For most vision applications, the CXP 2.1 interface perfectly suited high-throughput inspection systems, quality control and factory automation needs. So, who would want to change that winning formula?

In a domain where microns and millimeters matter, efficient quality inspection and metrology processes can make the difference between consistent, successful production runs and labor-intensive failures.

The continuous ground-breaking advances in the aerospace industry put more and more pressure on nondestructive testing (NDT) equipment manufacturers to be proactively solving new inspection challenges. As such, the recent advances in eddy current array (ECA) have considerably expanded the range of components and assets that can be inspected for surface and near-surface flaws.

Aerospace has a large, diverse, global supply chain. It is also struggling to keep up with demand while maintaining the essential quality and conformity of the products and services.
