All Measurement & Inspection (Page 97)

BUILDING THE BOTTLE AROUND THE SHIP

Aerospace manufacturer Kennebec Technologies needed to measure larger parts but didn’t have the space, so it bought a new Wenzel CMM and then expanded its inspection facility and standardized its equipment and software around the new system.

GET IT IN GEAR

When Bradley-Thompson Tool Company received an order to machine a large number of aerospace gear box castings, new measuring capability was required . . . and Xspect Solutions met the challenge with the right CMM, the necessary accessories and immediate software assistance.

PORTABLE CMM TAKES CENTER STAGE

Engineers at the Gehl South Dakota production plant in Madison found a faster way to verify large production fixtures and manufactured parts of construction and agricultural equipment: they simply position a portable optical CMM from Metris on the production floor and measure points of choice right away using a wireless tactile probe.

QUALITY IS STILL KING: RUNOUT AND CONCENTRICITY INSPECTION SYSTEM

Time Is Money: In GD&T, concentricity is a complex tolerance used to establish a tolerance zone for the median points of a cylindrical or spherical part feature. To reduce the time involved in this measurement, a new affordably priced runout and concentricity inspection system verifies cylindrical runout or concentricity in both part specific and universal applications.
