The quality requirements for the aerospace industry are essential to human life, and any component used in the final craft is mission-critical for success.

For more than seventy years, David B. Kirk’s illustrated lecture, Introduction to Principles of Pneumatic Gaging, existed in an unusual place in the history of manufacturing—quietly influential, widely practiced, yet almost entirely absent from the modern technical record.

Dilip Shah is the president of E=mc3 Solutions and he sat down with Michelle Bangert at the MAX Show in Nashville to talk about his presentation there and more.

Renishaw will highlight its latest solutions for maximizing robot performance and manufacturing efficiency at Automate 2026, taking place June 22–25 at McCormick Place in Chicago.

What should I be using to inspect an internal diameter (ID)? Should I use a Fixed Limit gage or some Variable gage? Is a Variable gage or a Fixed Limit gage more accurate? To answer these questions, we must begin with a few more clarifying questions.

Renishaw announced the launch of its latest solution for shop floor process control – the Equator–X™ 500 dual-method system.

Advancements in manufacturing standards have improved handheld gages, with modern models utilizing electronic sensors for better accuracy. Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDTs) are now favored in dimensional metrology across industries like aerospace and automotive for their precision and repeatability.

What is a custom gage? Is it a standard fixed limit gage made per ASME B47.1, or a modification of an existing design? Does the product require a new gage, a fixture, or a variable type gage? This article will explore modifications to existing plug gage designs and some special gage designs.

In manufacturing, precision is crucial for consistency and efficiency. Accurate measurements ensure components meet specifications, improve reliability, and reduce waste. Air gaging is a key technology that supports this.

Until now placing an internal bore gage inside a machine was expensive, complicated and slow.
