Manufacturers are now embracing the move to the digitization of their production processes. Many initial project goals are very narrowly focused around removing manpower, manual errors, and running 24/7 to improve total output. These are all worthy goals for sure. Yet, this approach leaves many facets in their overall process often overlooked. There are critical questions that must be asked.

The probe stylus is the key component in the successful utilization of the CMM. The ease of availability and lowered costs during the past 20 years for this material has made it the top choice for CMM manufacturers worldwide.

The product range includes coordinate measuring machines, optical and multi-sensor systems as well as metrology software for the automotive, aircraft, mechanical engineering, plastics and medical technology industries.

The science behind 3D scanners and CMM technologies is different; however, both collect coordinate measurement data and are widely used within the plastics industry. When is it better suited to use non-contact structured light 3D scanners than touch CMMs?

How has Miltera Machining Research Corp. become an industry-leading producer of prototype and high-tech, ultra-precision parts? The company chalks up a large part of its success to its enduring relationship with ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions.

Engaging an audience on the technical aspects of quality work can be a challenge: inspection, audits, and measurement systems analysis are hardly the stuff of a lecture that you will find gripping and inspirational.

Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) can automate the measurement process and consequently eliminate quality inspection bottlenecks. The highly adaptable tools can measure a wide range of parts and materials and quickly adapt to production changes.

Original equipment manufacturers can help to minimize supply chain woes by regularly using metrology equipment such as coordinate measuring machines (CMMs).

Here’s a thought: what if you could also perform multiple measuring tasks at the same time, on the same part with one machine, right there on the factory floor?

Mitutoyo America Corporation announced the release of the MiSTAR 555 CMM with the PH20 5-axis probe system.
