Environmental Management System (EMS): Why You Need One Now More Than Ever |
|
Date: August 31, 2012 In the 21st century, environmental issues have become a strategic concern, with organizations vying to meet their environmental obligations while simultaneously attempting to handle challenging marketplace, regulatory, competitive and global demands. Indeed, modern organizations must now develop effective environmental programs that can successfully handle a multitude of internal and external drivers, such as growing international concern and interest in such concepts as sustainable development and natural resource optimization; increased public pressure for greater transparency on environmental issues and improved environmental performance; and the need to demonstrate environmental responsibility and good stewardship to the public and regulators. |

Fundamentals of Calibration |
|
Date: December 1, 2011 Calibration is an insurance policy that verifies the accuracy of test instruments. Measurement instruments are essential for any company that verifies and measures during the product design and manufacturing process. Since these instruments are used to verify the quality of products, they are ultimately responsible for a business' success and the profitability. This makes the calibration of test and measurement equipment essential to multiple industries, including aerospace, life sciences, medical equipment, and general manufacturing. Regardless of the industry, the use of out-of-tolerance (OOT) instruments in day-to-day business compromises quality and credibility. |

Tap Into Blue Chip Metrology Expertise |
|
Date: January 11, 2011 The business of manufacturing is a colossal world of outsourcing: from product design to parts to services. This practice makes it possible to leverage expertise when you need it. In a field such as metrology where the difficulty of finding and training qualified staff remains an industry-wide issue, outsourcing is a growing nationwide trend. |

Modern CMM Design Concepts |
|
Date: May 14, 2010 Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are used in practically every industry that requires precise dimensional inspection of manufactured parts. In today’s competitive environment, manufacturers demand CMMs that are accurate, reliable, fast, economical, and provide maximum flexibility with respect to operating environment. In order to meet these often conflicting requirements and provide maximum value in the products delivered to their customers, CMM manufacturers must make informed design decisions, intelligent material choices, and employ novel techniques. |

An Introduction to Portable CMMs |
|
Date: June 23, 2009 Many advances in CMM technology have occurred over the decades, including the development of portable CMMs. Portable CMMs provide all the benefits of traditional CMMs but with added flexibility. They are lightweight and can therefore be used anywhere measurement is needed (the machine goes to the part). A controlled environment is not required and operation is very simple. They provide highly accurate results and are robust enough to work in a wide range of environments. Portable CMMs are also typically much less expensive than a traditional CMM. |

Choosing the Right Extensometer for Every Materials Testing Application |
|
Date: October 17, 2008 In materials and component testing the range of applications where extensometers are used is extremely diverse. As a result, the technical requirements for these devices are multifaceted, which means that there is no single device which satisfies all needs. As a pioneer and global leader in modern extensometry, the Zwick Roell Group believes that it offers its customers the widest range of technical advice, products and solutions. |

Building a Culture of Compliance |
|
Date: March 3, 2008 This report is about understanding compliance and compliance management adequately to ensure that your organization has the business processes and tools in place to transform compliance from a burden to a benefit. It describes a culture of compliance as an integral part of the organization’s ethics and describes the elements of compliance that are common throughout the organization. It also suggests a plan to manage and coordinate the common elements of compliance so they can produce efficiencies, maintain consistency, improve reliability and assurance, and result in increased stakeholder confidence. Finally, it identifies the key elements of a system to coordinate compliance management, and provides an executive checklist to help assess your organization’s culture of compliance. |

The Factory Diagnosis Diagram |
|
Date: December 13, 2007 As a rule, counting, measurement and experimental data of various origins are initially protocolled or stored in the order of their occurrence. For descriptive and/or analytical processing of such data, it is often advantageous, at times even mandatory, to sort the data in ascending or descending order according to their size, i.e., to bring them into a so-called rank order. In particular, in applied statistics, rank orders form the foundation for certain evaluation methods or graphical presentations, for example in probability charts. |

Signal to Noise Ratio—What is the Right Size? |
|
Date: August 28, 2007 The concept of signal (S) to noise (N) ratios has high visibility in design of experiment circles due to the work of Taguchi and his disciples. In this paper we will look into one of the signal to noise ratios and provide an answer to the question of “How large the ratio should be to call it a significant signal?" |

Data Integrity and Industrial Reliability via Wireless Mesh Networks |
|
Date: August 1, 2007 Industrial environments demand rugged and reliable solutions regardless of the type of system to be deployed. Electronics as a group are some of the most mechanically and performance fragile systems that live on the shop floor. Within this environment there are frequent examples of noise and interference sources that disturb or otherwise impair the reliable functioning of electronics. More and more, wireless sensors and metrology instruments are being deployed in production areas. Wireless systems deliver their quality or production data to critical operations downstream and are crucial components of the modern production reality. With this said, wireless data transmission of data is critically needed and simultaneously vulnerable to shop induced interference. |

New 3D Parameters and Filtration Techniques for Surface Metrology |
|
Date: May 15, 2007 For a long time surface metrology has been based upon measurement using 2D profilometers. Over the past twenty years the appearance of 3D profilometers and non-contact gauges has created a need for the standardization and formalization of the analysis of 3D surface texture. This paper presents the current status of the standardization process and includes a short description of the tools and parameters that will become available to users when work on the definition of the new standards, which is being carried out by working groups WG15 and WG16 of ISO technical committee TC213, has been completed. |
