Introduction Selecting the appropriate measuring technique in your given environment is crucial in producing the most definite results. To increase throughput and effectiveness of one?s company the integration of non-contact optical measurement systems should be considered due to its certain advantages over Read More
In order for your CMM to continuously operate in a safe and accurate way, then then the following maintenance schedule should be followed: WARNING Be sure to turn the main disconnect switch to OFF when making adjustments, removing or replacing covers, guards, Read More
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)?is a system for defining and communicating?engineering tolerances. It uses a symbolic language on?engineering drawings and computer-generated three-dimensional solid models that explicitly describes nominal?geometry?and its allowable variation. It tells the manufacturing staff and machines what degree of?accuracy and Read More
Introduction A common phenomenon well-known to engineers and metrologists alike, is that everything changes when temperatures change. Although these subtle changes are usually invisible to the naked eye, the need for expansion joints when constructing bridges presents a more noticeable example, as Read More
Introduction Over a past number of years more sensitive measuring instruments have been developed due to the need of satisfying requirements for higher accuracy. These newer types of instruments however, are of the comparator type and require a setting master. Also, the Read More
Surface Finish Instrumentation The functional performance and mechanical properties of materials are all affected by surface finish. A total of 90% of all engineering component failures are believed to be initiated through mechanisms such as fatigue cracking, abrasive wear, or stress corrosion Read More
