Force testing rarely draws attention until it fails. When components crack, seals leak, or devices do not activate as expected, engineers often trace the problem back to how force was applied, measured, or interpreted.
Quality managers and engineers, like many other professionals, are often judged by what goes wrong. A product failure, a recall, or a customer complaint draws negative press, while processes that run smoothly can be taken for granted.
In many laboratories, confidence in physical testing is based on the assumption that results are consistent and that, if a method works once, it can be repeated. However, shifts in operator technique, environmental conditions, or instrument calibration can undermine that confidence.
Drawing on decades of expertise, the potential Hexagon spin-off helps organizations navigate uncertainty and manage change across the world’s most critical infrastructure.
LUCID Vision Labs, Inc. announced the launch of the Atlas10 SWIR, a high-performance 10GigE camera with RDMA support featuring Sony’s 5.2 MP IMX992 and 3.2 MP IMX993 SenSWIR InGaAs sensors with integrated thermoelectric cooling for enhanced image quality and reduced noise.
Air gaging has moved from the inspection bench to the factory floor, where manufacturers are connecting decades-old measurement physics to modern data systems and inline process control.
Instead of waiting until the end of production to confirm size, quality teams increasingly collect dimensional data during machining and finishing operations.
Instead of being caught off guard by quality issues arising from sudden supply chain changes, firms can build control and visibility into their supplier ecosystems.
