Automation and robotics significantly enhance the efficiency and accuracy of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and CMM software.

CMM touch probing surely has its place, however it is not always an optimal solution for certain part geometries and applications. Roush Yates Engines (RYE) and its manufacturing division, Roush Yates Manufacturing Solutions (RYMS), recognized there were better options.

Styli and probe extensions can provide certainty for most measurements. Find the right tools made from the right materials for your quality needs.

In the latest Quality podcast, InnovMetric's Marc Soucy explains how CMM software can help you measure parts quickly and accurately, how to use these techniques most effectively, and how automating can help.

What level of quality do you feel is required in orthopedic implants, pacemakers and other critical, life-sustaining medical devices? The highest quality, of course!

How can aerospace parts manufacturers meet demands for lightweight, precise parts and components that are durable and temperature-resistant while complying with stringent regulatory requirements? High-quality aerospace parts need high-quality industrial metrology solutions.

Getting products out the door quicker, and with less waste, can have significant impacts on both customer service and the bottom line. However, with businesses facing numerous challenges lately – chief among them being a prolonged labor shortage – achieving that goal has become more difficult.

Manufacturers have big expectations for electrical connectors — they want devices with even smaller, more complex and custom-tailored features. Why has this transformation accelerated over the last decade?

As an alternative to CMMs, production engineers have the option of deploying versatile, noncontact optical inspection systems that allow for the implementation of first-article or random part inspection in a fast, nondestructive way.

Whether you’re machining or inspecting, the profits are in the speed of the swap. Like CNC machining, it should no longer be a question of if you need inspection fixturing, but what type.
