Selecting Next-Generation Laser-Scanning Technology
The current focus on improving production efficiency and part quality while meeting stringent production schedules is unrelenting. Measurement and inspection is one vital area that can benefit from advances in laser-scanning technology.
Benefits of Silicon-Based Temperature Sensors
The need for low-cost temperature logging devices in the cold-chain industry has led to the development of silicon-based instruments that do not need calibration.
Attracting the Next Generation of Research Scientists
Much has been said about American students falling behind in science; minority students in particular are under-represented and tend to choose other career options.
When to Use LVDTs vs. Optical Scanning
Gauging fixtures are a staple in many metrology labs and assembly lines. They offer a fast, easy, and inexpensive way to determine if a measured part passes tolerances.
NIST and Forest Service Create Hazard Scale for Wildland Fires
Two federal agencies have teamed to create the first-ever system for linking accurate assessments of risk from wildland fires to improved building codes, standards, and practices that will help communities better resist the threat.
3D Optical Metrology: Dynamic Referencing Brings Higher Accuracy
Portable 3D measuring devices have revolutionized the world of metrology since their invention some 30 years ago. They have brought the world of inspection right down to the production line, allowing measurements to be done much quicker and easier.
CA Cycleworks: From Art to Ducati
Overlapping personal passion with technical expertise can often spawn a successful business.
Laser Scanning the Cliffs of Moher
The Cliffs of Moher is one of Ireland’s top visitor attractions and a designated UNESCO Geo Park.
NPL Freeform Standards Support Measuring Unconventional Shapes
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL), part of the United Kingdom’s National Measurement Office, has developed a new range of 3D standards for verifying freeform coordinate measurement machines (CMMs).
