Of the thousands of variations of CMMs, you’re likely to encounter at least one version in every manufacturing quality control department. You might not recognize it at first because CMMs can look like, well, pretty much anything—but in any form, these […]
Modern manufacturing wouldn’t be possible without rigorous standards of measurement, along with sophisticated tools and techniques to help us measure tools, workpieces and finished products. CNC machining is a prime example of the practical uses of modern measuring, or metrology. In metal-based manufacturing, CNC machining is often the last process before a part is delivered. […]
Metrology is the science of measurement. In CNC machining, principles of metrology need to be applied throughout the production process to ensure that each part is machined to the right size and shape, in accordance with specified tolerances. It’s simple enough to take a ruler or a measuring tape and mark out inches or millimeters. […]
