Probes and styli are vital for smart manufacturing, evolving into advanced sensors that enhance automation and quality control. These precise tools measure parts, guide machines, and enable real-time adjustments, improving efficiency and reducing defects in CNC and robotic applications.
Selecting the correct phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) probe is critical for accurate inspections. This guide provides practical advice to help you make well-informed decisions and ensure optimal results.
Many stylus manufacturers will tell you that custom disks are the designs most often requested for custom fabrication quotes. Like handprints, it seems as though each disk stylus is unique.
Ensuring stringent medical part quality is challenging, but with the right vision system, manufacturers can utilize powerful technology to help determine that the challenges are being met.
Eddy current array (ECA) technology has long been used for nondestructive testing in aerospace, power generation, oil and gas, and other industrial applications. It’s a fast, accurate, chemical-free method for detecting surface and sub-surface indications including cracks, pits, corrosion, and damage due to temperature or fatigue.
While a high-performance measuring machine is a prerequisite for staying competitive, many quality managers are not achieving maximum efficiency and quality with their coordinate measuring machines (CMMs).
Historically, in-process gaging has not been widely used in the machine tool industry, but today that’s changing. Gaging companies have been evolving their products and making them easier to use, while enabling users to do more with gaging routines.
Cal Test Electronics is introducing three new active probes to its comprehensive offering of differential oscilloscope probes. The three new probes provide unique features so users can find just the right one for their measurement application.
The Keyence IM-7030T is the newest addition to the IM Series. The new drop-indicator, light probe, 8 x12 in. FOV, and programmable ring light help make this the most capable measurement unit to date.
