The manufacturing sector faces challenges like labor shortages and supply chain issues. Adopting standardized modular inspection systems can boost efficiency, improve communication, and reduce costs. These tools also facilitate advanced technologies, helping manufacturers thrive in a competitive landscape.

REGO-FIX, a Swiss toolholding company and inventor of the standard-setting ER collet, has partnered with tool measuring and management solution company Omega TMM for the creation of ORION powered by REGO-FIX – a tool measuring machine using REGO-FIX’s powRgrip® toolholding system with Omega TMM’s presetting technology.

Plant engineers and quality departments often struggle with zero point drift during air leak testing, where the initial zero reading shifts over time, leading to frequent adjustments of the leak test instrument. This article addresses the causes of zero drift, commonly attributed to changes in shop floor temperature, and provides strategies to minimize or eliminate this issue for improved efficiency in quality control processes.

This article explores how Inspection Arsenal has transformed the inspection process at Van Buren Tech, an Advanced Manufacturing class that uses Titans of CNC Academy. It has become a game-changer in delivering streamlined and personalized curriculums.

Fixtureworks® now offers Quick Zero setting devices.

Phillips Precision unveiled the new Mini-Vise, the latest addition to their acclaimed Inspection Arsenal® system.

Whether you’re machining or inspecting, the profits are in the speed of the swap. Like CNC machining, it should no longer be a question of if you need inspection fixturing, but what type.

Daniel Langlois has joined Phillips Precision’s team in an all-new position of General Manager.

Proper fixturing addresses several key parts of quality: It ensures that inspected parts remain in a repeatable and reproducible orientation on a measuring device.

By definition, the words simple and complex are antonyms. Complex is complicated, simple is not complicated—literally exact opposites. And as the old saying goes, opposites attract, and the list of subject matter in which simple and complex are joined at the hip is quite substantial.
