Quality Control Processes

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced has developed a technology that uses a digital twin to correct machine-tool errors in real time on machine tools equipped with computer numerical control (CNC). For more on machine automation, see this related guide.

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."

With so many cutting tools misapplied or underutilized, consider using interchangeable, indexable and/or a combination of the two cutting tool systems.

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.

At noon CST Dec. 11, discover how Baker Industries, a leader in large-scale machining for aerospace, automotive, defense, and shipbuilding, is redefining heavy manufacturing. In this exclusive webinar, General Manager Brian Baker shares insights into their advanced machining capabilities, including Emco Mecof Powermill HP5 gantry machining centers, 3D printing innovations, and strategies to eliminate bottlenecks and ensure on-time delivery.

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.

At IMTS 2024, ANCA CNC Machines is celebrating its anniversary and showing new and upgraded technologies, including its new high-precision tool grinder, the MicroX ULTRA, and the next generation of integrated manufacturing technology, AIMS Connect.
