Quality 101

RSS

Due to rapidly advancing production and testing technology, today’s industrial quality assessment procedures are more rigorous—and more precise—than ever before.

In today’s manufacturing environment high-precision noncontact optical shaft metrology is a solid investment, whether it’s an entry level SPC measuring station operated by the workers or a fully automatic system for 100% part inspection.

Height gages are a general purpose tool, which can be used in a variety of industries and applications by anyone who needs to measure precision parts.

Adrianus Pijper, in the South African Journal of Science, called the microscope “man’s noblest, supreme, and most far-reaching tool,” according to the Microscopy Society of America. And this was in 1939.

We use regression analysis to explore the relationships between one or more input variables, or factors, and a response.

Today, a quality inspection process is more critical than ever before.

Rings that do not seal, porous metals that leak fluid and tubes with holes can result in parts malfunctioning causing millions of dollars in damage, and even loss of life.

Patented for manufacturing in 1943, historians document this tool has been in use for nearly a century.

If necessity is the mother of invention, then nondestructive testing (NDT) would be among her favorite progeny, at least with the design engineers and manufacturing sect.
