Digitalization has changed our world as the internet and modern technology continue to shape the manufacturing industry. For example, the vision of Industry 4.0 shows that production systems and machines are required to be flexible and adapt with continuously changing manufactured products. That means production will be more individualized, flexible, and faster.

Choosing the Right Smart Handheld Gage

Gages bring a whole new level of measuring capability to the user.
George Schuetz
March 1, 2019
One Comment

As with every other function in modern manufacturing operations, inspection is subject to the management team’s efforts at cost control or cost containment. It is good business sense to maximize the value of every dollar spent, but it also means that hard choices must be made when selecting handheld gages.

Calibrating Surface Gages for Success

The measurement of surface finish has come a long way in the past 70 years.

Putting Surface Inspection in the Hands of the Machine Tool Operator

Manufacturers need tools for operators that meet test requirements and are simple to use.
George Schuetz
January 3, 2017
One Comment

As part tolerances tighten, both form and surface finish have a bigger influence on the size and function of the product. And with pressures on manufacturing to be more productive, it is no longer viable for checks of surface or form to be performed on a measuring system in a quality room.
