Measurement

In-Process Testing in Automated Electronics Production

This automated plant can produce as many as 3,000 electrical fuses per hour, and integrated small force sensors ensure they meet the automotive industry’s standards.

Measurement

Effective Technical Process Through Metrology

As manufacturing processes and the resulting parts become more complex, shops must invest the time and resources to allow their inspection methods to keep pace.

An Overview of Metrology for Precision Machining

Metrology helps precision manufacturers ensure the parts they produce fit and work as intended, despite the different languages, processes and measurement systems used.

Automation

Mitutoyo's Miscan Vision System Suitable for Difficult Imaging

The Miscan uses autonomous scanning, covering micro-form to large workpieces. It can use styli as small as 125 microns diameter to measure microscopic workpieces. 

Measurement

Six Sigma's Orion Mini Sorts Small Parts with Tracking Software

Parts continue to travel around the platen after inspection until they arrive at an air blow-off. 

Measurement

Mitutoyo's QM-Height Gauge Uses Several Forms of Measurement

The QM-Height is used to measure height, height difference (step), inside/outside widths, inside/outside diameters, circle pitch, free-form surface maximum/minimum heights and height difference by scanning measurement.

Starrett Expands Hardness Testing Line

The L.S. Starrett Co. has expanded its line of benchtop hardness testers, adding seven Rockwell systems, eight Vickers systems and one Brinell system, for a total of 16 new testers.

Toolholders

Setup Options for Swiss Automatic Lathes

A hydraulic chuck and a counter-balanced centering tool, originally developed as in-house solutions, are now available to address the limited working space that is common in Swiss machining.
