Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence announced improvements to the operating temperature range of its TIGO SF shop-floor coordinate measurement machine (CMM). 

Accuracy and repeatability is the lifeblood of all CMMs. If they aren’t accurate, there’s no point in having them. However, the degree of accuracy required is dependent on the particular application. For manufacturing gas turbines and aircraft engines, a very high degree of accuracy is often required.

Students learn about the science of measurement and gain practical experience using metrology tools.

Interest is growing across many industries in the use of X-ray computed tomography (CT) for dimensional metrology in the pursuit of improved quality control. 

Today’s on-the-go-consumers demand products that can multitask, from portable meal kits and one-minute makeup to smartphones that can measure your heartbeat or control your thermostat.

In the quality world, air gaging ranks with micrometers, calipers, comparators, scales, CMMs and many other instruments in that they are all considered measurement and test equipment (M&TE).

Fine-tuning coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) to the functional needs of manufacturers has changed the way they view quality inspection.

Modern manufacturing demands more precision than ever in both individual parts and assemblies.

In the survey, coordinate measurement machines remains a bedrock of the quality field, with 22% of respondents saying they planned to increase spending on the technology.

A high-performance measuring machine is the prerequisite for fast and efficient measuring. Yet many operators are not achieving maximum efficiency with their coordinate measuring machine.
