The reactor was designed to scale up production of CNT film, particularly for the automotive industry’s ADAS market.

The new material is aimed at streamlining production processes and ultimately reducing costs.

Laser micro-cutting can increase precision and enable contactless cutting for machines, leading to higher-quality products.

Ensuring the accuracy, reliability and consistency of medical devices and their many components is serious business.

CMMs are invaluable. Vision systems, portable measuring arms and laser scanners come in a close second. But in the rush to get parts out the door, don’t forget the basics.

The benefits of advanced metrology in smart manufacturing

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.”

The makers of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) spent a long time in competition to reach the highest levels of repeatable measurement accuracy.

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.

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.
