When do you need to be concerned about the effects of temperature in your inspection process, how significant is it and how do you deal with it? These can be tricky questions to answer.
From September to November, optical measurement supplier Bruker Alicona is hosting a US roadshow. In more than 20 cities, exclusive demos of their optical metrology equipment will be organized under consideration of COVID regulations.
About twenty years ago I was asked to make a presentation on calibration to a meeting of a local chapter of the National Conference of Standards Laboratories.
In this application case study, we look at how a manufacturer of precision optical manufacturing and metrology equipment uses collaborative robots and a new robotic gripper/caliper to provide a solution that helps its customers optimize quality control measurements in the quality assurance area of their factory.
I’m a Type-A personality with a sense of urgency to explain everything. Give me a little data, and I will use every statistical tool I can wrap around these rationalizations to help explain an observation. But here is something that I cannot explain: why do we tolerate such poor gages?
The precision length calibration process is very much like any length measurement process, but taken to a significantly higher level. Both processes are composed of the same elements.
