For over 65 years Dorsey Metrology International, a certified women’s business enterprise (WBE), has been manufacturing high-precision mechanical and optical measurement equipment.

Optical measurement refers to noncontact measurement using various light sources. It usually requires at least one lens, a light source and a detector. 

Keyence will be featuring the recently released IM-7000 Series Instant Measurement system at The Quality Show 2017! 

Inspecting medical parts such as orthopedic implants and medical instruments pose a number of arduous challenges to manufacturers. 

Starrett Kinemetric Engineering, Inc., a subsidiary of the L.S. Starrett Co., announced the all new HDV500 digital comparator that combines the features of a vision metrology system and an optical comparator. 

R&R Fixtures now offers a full range of Optical Comparator fixturing for all your inspection needs, allowing you full capacity to position, stabilize and inspect your part with complete access and viewing circumference around the part.

Many of the most critical parts that make up industrial gas turbines (IGTs) have complex 5-axis geometries and very tight tolerances. 

Quality engineers have a number of different technologies and approaches available today, each having their own strengths, to perform the measurement and inspection required to meet tight part tolerances and increasingly more stringent QC requirements.

The introduction of the digital optical comparator has provided manufacturers across a wide range of industries with a number of benefits over traditional optical comparators for the inspection and measurement of manufactured parts directly on the shop floor.

Advances in optical design make today’s video measurement systems faster, highly accurate, and far more capable.
