Measurement & Inspection
Manual and automated analog and digital gages, instruments, scales, tests and other devices, integrated systems and techniques used to report, record, and manage the data of precise physical dimensions, weight, temperature, pressure, current, voltage or other process value being generated from the forming, fabricating, welding or cutting of material.
ZEROing in on Defects
Dimensional measurement data provides operators with actionable decision making that first reduces, and then eventually eliminates defects.
Association for Advancing Automation (A3) stats show positive outlook for automation industry.
Advanced ballbar testing enables this semiconductor component supplier to achieve better-than-new machine tool accuracy and extend machine life for unconventional silicon processing.
These borescopes help machine shops inspect automotive, aerospace, hydraulic and other precision parts with difficult geometries for internal burrs, defects, surface finish irregularities and more inside deep or narrow bores.

Some manufacturers shy away from conducting gage repeatability and reproducibility (GR&R) studies because the results are inconsistent. But because variability is unavoidable, your goal is to calibrate that measuring device to consistently return an acceptable range of results.
Written in Q-and-A style, the paperback book answers more than 100 commonly-asked questions regarding surface texture measurement, analysis, interpretation, specification, and application.
Many shops hesitate to incorporate abrasive finishing tools in CNC machines for fear of clogging coolant lines and damaging slides and bearings. However, finishing tools generate very little grit.
Six thousand-square-foot ‘real estate’ will be a dynamic, interactive attendee destination.
