(S-T Industries: Mankato, MN) -- S-T Industries, based in St. James, Minnesota, recently donated a video measurement system to Minnesota State University at Mankato’s Department of Automotive and Manufacturing Engineering Technology. The system will enhance students’ study of metrology, the scientific study of measurement that is critical to any manufacturing process.

The 8700 Video Inspection System complements the department’s existing metrology laboratory equipment and will be used by students for product validation using video interpretation.

“Unlike other coordinate measuring machine equipment, the system from S-T Industries will introduce our metrology students to a noncontact inspection method,” says Winston Sealy, an assistant professor of automotive and manufacturing engineering technology. “Moreover, the video system will benefit both students and faculty in research and industry projects and partnerships.”
