CMMs and other multifunctional metrology devices are becoming faster and more sophisticated, but top-quality gages and measuring tools still have an important place.
Middleton, Wis.-based ACI is joining Dwyer Instruments, Omega Engineering and Universal Flow Monitors under the DwyerOmega brand.
Measurements have been used to define and attempt to control the stuff we make throughout recorded history. Here's the latest.
Digital metrology enables faster measurements, saving time, money and convenience.
The most important step in digitizing any manufacturing or supply chain process is analysis of the ROI and business case and being able to demonstrate success to company leaders.
Industrial computed tomography is a cost-effective, reliable way to meet intensifying
requirements for qualifying both the design of aerospace parts and the materials needed for their construction.
Capture 3D becomes part of the ZEISS Industrial Quality & Research segment, following ZEISS acquisition of GOM, makers of the ATOS systems Capture 3D resells.
While fossil fuels dominate the energy market, expect a new mix of parts as renewable energy and EVs grow in market share.
GOM Scan 1 is a portable 3D scanner designed for the serious hobbyist or industrial engineer that needs to digitize small to medium-sized objects at an affordable price
Basic trends in modern manufacturing are driving growth in 3D optical metrology. “One is the highly complex and high-tech material that manufacturers are using today. For example, in the aerospace turbine blade market, they simply cannot touch the part like they used to—the surface finish of the material is too readily affected by any kind of contact metrology."
