Measurement

Improve manufacturing efficiency and process control with metrology

All machining operations have inherent variation caused by machine positioning errors, material variances, fixturing, tooling load and thermal changes. Many companies employ metrology at the end of machining to ensure that good parts go out the door, but it does little to improve manufacturing efficiency. Applying metrology before and during machining processes keeps operations in tight control, significantly improving process yield and final part quality at a much lower cost of production.

Blue laser technology: setting the standard in on-machine tool measurement

The new NC4+ Blue system is designed to help machine shops across many industries transform their production capabilities. Compared to red laser sources found in conventional non-contact tool setters, Renishaw’s blue laser technology delivers improved diffraction effects and optimized laser beam geometry. In addition to industry-first blue laser technology, the NC4+ features enhanced optics built to deliver greater tool measurement accuracy.

Top five trends shaping the future of precision measuring tools market

Industry 4.0 is making inroads into several industrial sectors, creating massive demand for measurement and inspection technologies offering superior reliability precision, and stability. There has been a quantum leap in growth of the global industrial landscape, resulting in higher demands for high-quality precision measuring tools for reduced turnaround time and costs. Rising end user focus on quality-orientated operations as a key to high competitiveness is fuelling investments in the precision measuring tools market. Sensing the importance of a synchronized production as an essential aspect in optimal productivity, operators of manufacturing industries are willing to spend on better-than-the-rest precision measuring tools more than ever before.
