Lean thinking focuses on ways to add value without wasting resources. Benjamin Franklin captured the idea in “Poor Richard’s Almanack,” when he said, “He that idly loses five shillings worth of time, loses five shillings and might as prudently throw five shillings into the river.”

Sophisticated metrology equipment, like coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and laser scanners, are increasingly seen outside quality labs. “Many companies have cut costs by moving inspection from the lab to the shop floor,” said Matteo Zoin, head of marketing and new market development for Marposs Corp., Auburn Hills, Mich.

Any manufacturer operating under quality management system mandates, such as ISO9001, ISO13485, or AS9100, must at the very least maintain a measurement tool library database.

The improved API vProbe tactile measuring sensor performs accurate CMM-style measurements directly on the production floor, according to Automated Precision, Inc (API.) Integrated with the API Radian Laser Tracker series the vProbe enhances the measuring capabilities and functionalities of traditional Laser Trackers.

Machine operators can replace time-consuming manual setups and gauging with the precision of digital metrology through a conversational CNC interface.

While fossil fuels dominate the energy market, expect a new mix of parts as renewable energy and EVs grow in market share.

How the digital thread increases visibility of upstream and downstream workflows.

Bay County received a welcomed award at the September 21st Commission meeting.

ORNL has partnered with MSC Industrial Supply to deliver a service that improves the material removal rate of existing equipment by a factor of three, on average, by correctly using cutting conditions based on measurements.

Reverse engineering is becoming multifaceted and complex. The key drivers: new metrology sensors and more capable software, enabled by ever more powerful and cheaper computing.
