Portable measuring equipment has had a meteoric rise in its role supporting the various aspects of manufacturing over past decades including the applications of reverse engineering, prototype part inspection, low volume production measurements, tooling and fixture inspection and alignment, interrogation of product quality issues and many others. One significant characteristic of all portable measuring equipment is its ability to be used readily at the ‘point of production’ thereby allowin

Skydio, the U.S. drone manufacturer and leader in autonomous flight technology has announced the general availability of its adaptive scanning software, Skydio 3D Scan. 3D Scan extends Skydio’s groundbreaking autonomous flight engine with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) skills that automate photographic data collection and mapping tasks ranging from infrastructure asset inspection to crime and accident scene reconstruction. 3D Scan Makes Inspection Tasks up to 75% Faster Dr

The recently released MICRON3D green stereo 20 -20 MP 3D scanner offers the highest resolution on the market and is aimed at industrial applications. The product perfectly meets the needs of modern enterprises that value technological solutions within the framework of the idea of industry 4.0 for quality control or reverse engineering. Compared to the previous models in the MICRON3D stereo line the new model is characterized by a more than doubled resolution. This allows the user to m

API and QTE Manufacturing Solutions have announced a partnership to make API’s laser-based dimensional metrology equipment available through QTE’s USA support network in Missouri, Kansas, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Southern Illinois. As manufacturing projects continue to scale up in the Midwest and Southcentral US, both in terms of volume and tolerances, demand for comprehensive metrology solutions to support these projects is increasing as well. To match their shared company v

Companies need advanced measurement solutions that enable them to guarantee the reliability of key processes such as validating the quality of manufactured parts and obtaining data for analysis and critical decision making. Thus, manufacturers usually employ quality control equipment such as a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) which is high technological value equipment designed to calculate the geometric characteristics of an object. Despite their precision, these machines require exhau

Rapid product innovation and shorter product lifecycles mean that flexible fixturing is more valuable than ever. Renishaw’s modular fixturing range is designed for work holding flexibility; components can be configured and reconfigured to secure the latest iteration of a workpiece. The Renishaw range of modular fixtures hold parts securely on coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), the Renishaw Equator gauging system and vision systems. Using high-quality metrology fixtures can improve

FARO Technologies has announced the release of its all-new  Quantum Max ScanArm, an advanced portable measurement tool that features three purpose-built hot-swappable Laser Line Probes (LLPs). Designed to meet a variety of small and medium-sized measurement needs, the LLPs—xR, xP and xS— ensure that users are no longer forced to choose between speed, accuracy, or resolution. Maximize value and productivity by over 30% with the enhanced performance and scanning capabilities of the Quan

Seam validation technology at Lockheed Martin was originally developed for the F-22 Advanced Tactical Fighter to ensure the proper performance of each aircraft. Gaps and mismatch (or step) were called out on drawings and condensed into a chart for use on the production floor. The gaps were then measured using feeler gauges, while the mismatch was measured using micrometer height gages.
