How Precision Measurement Technologies Helps In Improving Manufacturing Productivity?

In this technology-driven world, many industries that are manufacturing high, medium, small, and tiny size components or parts are today facing the increased need of detailed inspection requirement in terms of the feature measurement, frequency, productions statistics, and accurate specifications. Industries or manufacturers need these advancements in the precision measurement technologies so that greater accuracy can be achieved when checking the components or parts, measurement cycle speed as well as the concrete ability to measure precisely the geometric features and its free-flowing forms.

Technology has come a long way in the past few years, although there are tools that are already available which offer or meet such precise measurement and inspection requirements. The need is to have such solution or approach in place that should not only offer the accurate and effective results but at the same time can serve the needs of the different production environment for increasing the manufacturing productivity.

Let’s get into more details on some of these measurement technologies which are supporting manufacturing industries to assess their production processes by doing an inspection in a real-time environment to avoid errors or correct if any:

ü Vision Measuring Systems

For any production environment, one of the important tools is the Vision Measuring Machine that offers a detailed view along with statistical analysis and data compilation for large to tiny components. The entire inspection process, with this vision measuring machines or systems, is completed in very less time with utmost accuracy.

The vision measuring machines or technology equips the manufacturers to measure the very complex tools or components with much ease & simplicity. Many come or support the CAD, that enable the user with point-and-click and pick-and-place support in measuring the tiny and complex component profiles where profile tolerances are of microns or sub-micron levels, which minimize handling.

Vision measuring machines’ are now also introduced with 3D a capability which allows the more expansion or enhancements for greater accuracy. These 3D enhancements’ gives the sense of tactile with tolerances down to the microns level along with greater articulate accuracy. White light scanning in 3D capable vision measurement machine can drive the precision measurement down to submicron or in special cases angstrom levels. With laser feature, you can do a selective selection or support.

ü Height measuring machine

Height measuring machines are also playing a crucial role in the manufacturing industries by providing the critical dimensions like length, height, internal/external diameter, depth, thickness, cross-functional-sections measuring, etc. of the components that are required or impact the production processes.

These machines are user-friendly and easy to use which provide the unmatched speed and accuracy for doing measurements. This, in turn, helps the user or operator to focus on the actual measurements rather than the process of measurement.

These height measuring machines are used in difficult work environments’ which needs precise, reliable, and accurate data. These data measurements help in getting the efficient production environment as data provided by them is in detailed format, which is easy to understand and act upon. Many heights measuring systems are TFT with soft keyboard and allows you to store the data in USB, which can be used later to make comparisons.

Hence, the Vision & Height measuring machine offers the agility and speed with great accuracy that helps the manufacturers to inspect the components in less time with immense minutiae particulars. So it’s become imperative to have accurate measurements to reveal the errors and inefficiencies’ in the production process that helps the manufacturers to effectively manage the productivity and stay ahead in the competition. `,
