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.
Using Intelligent Machine Control To Optimize Quality Assurance

One of manufacturing’s biggest challenges is filling the knowledge gap left by skilled employees who retire. Intelligent machine control (IMC) increases throughput regardless of who’s operating measurement and production equipment by removing the potential for human error.
Stil’s high precision measurement technology offers opportunities for use in the glass, glass packaging, plastic, precision mechanics, consumer electronics, semiconductors, and biomedical industries.
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.

David Allen has been tapped to lead the high-end metrology businesses for the Athol, Mass., manufacturer.
A manufacturer’s ability to create a comprehensive, cost-effective digital thread is hindered by legacy and proprietary communications standards. Fortunately, the International Standards Organization is expected to approve the Quality Information Framework (QIF) by the end of the year.
To remain competitive, more shops are searching for ways to better utilize their quality workforce and supplement them with automation. But Ken Myers of Mitutoyo America explains that what automating metrology means to one person might not mean the same to another.
Six thousand-square-foot ‘real estate’ will be a dynamic, interactive attendee destination.
