W ith the rapid digital transformation of manufacturing, including technologies like cloud solutions, digital twins, next-generation devices, automation, and AI, the role of metrology is poised for a transformative evolution.

The jet in pneumatic dimensional (or air) gauging is the mechanical part of the sensing probe—air plug gauge, air ring gauge, air caliper gauge—through which compressed air is directed onto the part under measurement.

Welcome knowledge seeker! Do you feel dazzled and awed by the great potential of artificial intelligence (AI)? Perhaps hesitant or lost when terms like convolution, deep learning, or autoencoder are thrown around?

From small family-run companies to tech giants, the business world is changing at an unrelenting pace.

Managers are commonly fed a diet of report-card data. These data have usually been aggregated into summaries, averages, and totals to characterize the big picture. As useful as such summaries can be, they can also be an obstacle to an effective analysis.

Whether you’re a small machine shop or a large multimillion-dollar manufacturing giant, there’s no doubt you use dimensional gauges to maintain the standards for quality in your production.

Time: We all have a sense of it, an innate feel for it. We see it and use it every day.

In today’s market, it seems like all 3D scanners have similar specifications, as if manufacturers look at their competitors’ data and use the same numbers.

While clinical trials are the gold standard for generating clinical data to use as evidence of your medical device’s safety and effectiveness, they are by no means the only way to gather clinical evidence.

Wilhelm Weber gets the distinction of having the unit of magnetic flux, the weber (Wb), named in his honor.
