Put the Mind at Ease
From a safety point of view, no industry is more concerned with the performance of its parts being produced than the aerospace supply chain, where parts suppliers use the most advanced quality assurance technology to verify part conformance to specifications.

No industry is more concerned with the performance of its parts being produced than aerospace . . . not just from a safety point of view, but also with efficiency in mind. For this reason, no other industry uses higher precision machine tools and fabrication equipment for component manufacturing – or more advanced quality assurance technology to verify part conformance to specifications: (1) machine shops are using on-machine measuring systems to actively monitor and adjust machine tool process signatures, (2) fabricators are using advanced inspection lamps to do non-destructive testing (NDT), and (3) metrology suppliers are furnishing comprehensive quality data management systems that enable shops to analyze and use the enormous amounts of process information to their competitive advantage. Here is one example of each of these advances:
Unique Pressure-Sensing Touch Probe for Machine Tools
Machined part verification is no longer a challenge with the accuracy and repeatability of the TS 740 touch probe from Heidenhain.
Multi-Led, Broad-Beam Inspection Lamps For FPT and MPT
QUADRAN 365 S-Series UV-A (365 nm) lamps from Spectronics are specially designed to meet ASTM UV-A intensity and wavelength specifications.
Quality Data Management For All Measuring Machines
PiWeb software from Zeiss merges a wide range of data from various sources and analyzes in a short time at the push of a button.
