What is multi-sensor metrology? Multi-sensor metrology systems have become a critical tool for quality control.

Today’s manufacturers know the importance of having the right tool for the job. Multisensor measurement systems offer a variety of sensor technology tools, allowing for efficient and accurate results in the measurement process.

Manufacturers have big expectations for electrical connectors — they want devices with even smaller, more complex and custom-tailored features. Why has this transformation accelerated over the last decade?

As the new year brings new budgets, the reality of muted economic growth for 2017 becomes clear when the subject of corporate spending arises.

Up until the late 1970s, the contour projector or optical comparator was the mainstay of automated two-dimensional inspection systems. 

Multisensor coordinate measuring machines that combine vision, touch and laser sensors have been used in manufacturing quality control for nearly 20 years.

Imagine having a complete toolbox in your garage—one of those big red rolling toolboxes with drawers and compartments everywhere.

This well-known adage doesn’t just apply to the design of systems; it also applies to the systems themselves. In systems designed for automated precision measurement, users are typically balancing accuracy of measurement, speed of operation, and cost to purchase and operate.
