The geometry of a wire drawing die governs both the quality of the wire and the working life of the die. As the die wears, its bore geometry drifts, and
When manufacturing HDPE pipes and cable jackets, simply adding 2% to 2.5% carbon black to your polymer mix isn’t enough. Should that be not uniformly dispersed on a microscopic scale,
Flash and burr are small defects with a high cost. In moulded automotive components, a thin sliver of excess material at the parting line or gate can trigger deflashing labour,
For much of the twentieth century, the toolmaker’s microscope anchored quality control in the tooling room. An operator aligned a cross-hair against a projected edge and read each angle or
Rubber and plastic parts are hard to measure well. They bend, they compress, and they rarely sit under a probe. For automotive suppliers in Turkey, the choice often comes down
For cable and wire manufacturers, quality is always at odds with throughput. Insulation must be within specified dimensional limits. But each minute in the QC lab is a minute where
Aerospace and medical components in France share two demands that most other industries do not combine: extreme dimensional precision and complete traceability. A single out-of-tolerance seal or catheter tip can
Any high-mix automotive assembly line in Germany always encounters the same dilemma when it comes to specifying equipment – is it optical CMM or tactile CMM? There is no simple
