Measurement & Inspection
Filter by Process Zone:
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.
REINCARNATING A MONSTER
This enormous DEA gantry CMM was overhauled by Xspect Solutions for SES, a Department of Defense supplier that saved nearly 70 percent when compared against the cost of a new machine.
A NEW MODULAR SYSTEM FOR PORTABLE CMMs
The Future Is Now: This unique technology from AICON 3D Systems GmbH allows the user to combine the sensor, probe and computer with the appropriate software to meet the exact requirements of a measurement task.
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.
QUALITY IS STILL KING: DELIVERING THE 2000th CMM
Sustained Sales Strength: Even in the current economy, the flexibility in sensors and an excellent price-performance ratio keep the demand high for this system, just as it was right out of the gate several years ago.
QUALITY IS STILL KING: FIRST OFF THE BLOCK
Carbon Fibers Hit The Road: Talk about advanced quality ? check out how the breathtaking speeds in Formula One are achieved with the help of advanced tooling block technology.
QUALITY IS STILL KING: HOW INSPECTION CHANGES IN A 3D WORLD
Blind Ambition: Moving from 2D to 3D design impacts inspection requirements because typical 3D drawings include few explicit dimensions and make curved free-form surfaces almost impossible to verify using traditional tactile measurement techniques. What is the solution?
QUALITY IS STILL KING: OPEL REPLACES ITS METAL PRETREATMENT SYSTEM
A New Technology Changes Everything: This German manufacturer of automobile chassis components improved their quality and achieved significant savings by changing from a zinc-phosphate pretreatment to a new technology.
AIR GAGE NOT IN USE' THEN SAVE ENERGY
Waste Not, Want Not: New technologies are now available to conserve 40 percent or more in direct costs of inspection.
RAISING THE BAR
New Norm To Perform:A completely new 3D CMM guarantees your required precision on the shop floor.
