I’ve written many times about how air gauging allows you to measure many jobs faster, more conveniently, and more accurately than other gauging methods.

For measuring all hole conditions, air gauging is unsurpassed for speed and accuracy. When checking any dimensional characteristic, air gauging offers sufficient magnification and reliability to measure tolerances well beyond…

Any automotive worker will tell you that inspection is vital to production quality. During initial assembly, raw materials and in-sourced parts are checked for compliance, molds are assessed for dimensional accuracy, and welds are examined to ensure integrity.

The same can be said for aftermarket part manufacturing, where service providers offer to customize and repair clients’…

Most manufacturing engineers have experienced some version of the same problem: A production process successfully completes validation. The production part approval process (PPAP) is approved. Yield is stable, customer requirements are being met, and everyone assumes the process is under control. Then one day, defects begin to appear.

When that happens, the natural reaction is…
