Proper fixturing addresses several key parts of quality: It ensures that inspected parts remain in a repeatable and reproducible orientation on a measuring device.

In-line Inspection with CMMs

By increasing the frequency of inspections and decreasing the time of inspection throughout the production process, inspecting in or near the production line allows for verification of 100% of components.

The journey to create a standard is very interesting and requires attention to detail. Before a standard can be created one must develop the need and benefits for its development.

Why In-Line Inspection Can Save Time and Money

To simplify and hasten the measurement process, manufacturers are bringing measurement to the production line for verification, minimizing the time needed to refine machining.
