This situation pops up quite regularly when a relatively simple feature such as the diameter of a hole in a machined part doesn’t appear to be right when the part is at the assembly stage of manufacture. Like similar disputes, the finger pointing begins and compromises are made but the problem doesn’t go away.

Food for Thought Regarding Depth Gages

Attempting to create a precision machine or product without taking accurate measurements is like trying to cook a great meal without measuring as you go along.

In Search of Precision Measurements

This is a new experience for many students.
Gregory S. Gay

3 Comments

I am in my tenth year as a part-time instructor at Western Michigan University, currently working with junior- and senior-level engineering students. I instruct the hands-on metrology lab of Dr. Pavel Ikonomov’s metrology class. We have about 15 weeks for this three-credit hour class to introduce metrology, focusing on precision measurement. We have about 45 students taking three hours of lecture and three hours of lab each week.

How to Choose a Precision Measurement Sensor: Key Considerations

In precise part inspections, a reliable solution is a must.
Dana Holmes

No Comments

Quality control applications that require precise measurement can be some of the most challenging applications to solve. Very tight tolerance requirements demand a reliable solution that can measure parts in micrometers to detect the smallest variations in part size, thickness, orientation, placement, and more.
