Quality Control Processes

Apple has expanded its Apple Manufacturing Academy with new virtual programming. The manufacturing training was created for small- and medium-sized businesses across the country that want to "accelerate their ability to innovate and adopt advanced technologies."

For use in CNC machines, the company says the CryoCut Vista cryogenic technology delivers precise cooling to the cutting zone, enabling clean, burr-free machining of polymers often used in aerospace and medical applications.

Sunnen Products Company, a global leader in high-precision bore finishing, will exhibit its cutting-edge manufacturing solutions at EASTEC 2025, the premier event for manufacturing technology on the East Coast.

Mitutoyo America has launched the MiSTAR 575 shop floor CNC coordinate measuring machine (CMM).

The Humanoid Robot Market Size was valued at $2.21 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $76.97 billion by 2032 and grow at a CAGR of 48.36% over the forecast period 2024-2032.

In a booth full of technology from multi-sensor vision systems, video-based inspection and measurement systems, and even old-school optical comparators, it was a small touchscreen indicator that packed a lot of punch.

The NVH G-EAR system can identify potential gear defects at the component level prior to gear box assembly. It works on the Single Flank testing principle where one master gear meshes with the component under inspection, detecting macro-geometry (nicks, runout etc.) and micro- geometry (gear mesh excitation, ghost orders) defects that cause gear whine and noise phenomena.

The cam followers incorporate a polymer layer that is molded directly onto the IKO exclusive thin-walled steel outer ring. This construction solves the dilemma of being able to install a cam follower with special polymers, offering self-lubricating and shock-absorbing properties into existing applications. n
