Manufacturers today face a paradox: quality expectations continue to rise, yet the labor available to perform consistent, repeatable inspection continues to shrink.

Aerospace manufacturers face constant pressure to increase precision, reduce lead times, yet stay adaptable as designs and production volumes change.

When asking a few of my favorite friends and colleagues about whether a CMM holding or checking fixture should be made by traditional welded base plates with common clamping methods versus a modular fixturing system, I tried very hard not to be “partisan” about the fixturing needs for manufacturing everything from rocket engines to automobiles.

Fixtureworks® has bolstered its array of clamps, modular fixturing and set-up accessories by offering the stable and reliable Stablelock Clamp series.

Mahr Inc. announced the expansion of its Precimar® SM 60 length measurement product line with the introduction of the Precimar SM 60-V small-length measuring bench.

The manufacturing sector faces challenges like labor shortages and supply chain issues. Adopting standardized modular inspection systems can boost efficiency, improve communication, and reduce costs. These tools also facilitate advanced technologies, helping manufacturers thrive in a competitive landscape.

REGO-FIX, a Swiss toolholding company and inventor of the standard-setting ER collet, has partnered with tool measuring and management solution company Omega TMM for the creation of ORION powered by REGO-FIX – a tool measuring machine using REGO-FIX’s powRgrip® toolholding system with Omega TMM’s presetting technology.

Plant engineers and quality departments often struggle with zero point drift during air leak testing, where the initial zero reading shifts over time, leading to frequent adjustments of the leak test instrument. This article addresses the causes of zero drift, commonly attributed to changes in shop floor temperature, and provides strategies to minimize or eliminate this issue for improved efficiency in quality control processes.

This article explores how Inspection Arsenal has transformed the inspection process at Van Buren Tech, an Advanced Manufacturing class that uses Titans of CNC Academy. It has become a game-changer in delivering streamlined and personalized curriculums.
