Are you measuring geometric tolerances efficiently? There are two types of measuring machines that can handle most geometric tolerances: CMMs and roundness measuring machines. Many people use CMMs to measure all geometric tolerances. Although CMMs can handle many geometric tolerances, it may not be efficient. CMMs are measuring machines that first measure and then analyze later. Therefore, if a lot of data is taken, various analyses can be performed later. On the other hand, it is easy to take data that is not necessary because it may be analyzed later. With a roundness measuri......

In industrial production, due to the vibration of machine tools and cutting tools, as well as some other factors, the surface of parts can’t be completely smooth. Surface roughness measurement is a technical standard to evaluate the surface quality of parts. What is Surface Roughness Surface roughness refers to the micro geometric form error composed of small spacing and small peaks and valleys on the machined surface. The smaller the micro geometric error of the machined surface is, the higher the surface accuracy is. The surface of a part formed by cutting or other m......

Screw thread is a fastening connection structure widely used in the industrial field. In military products, the majority connections are completed through threaded parts. Whether the thread is qualified directly affects the assembly performance and safety. Common Thread Measurement Methods In the measurement of thread parameters, according to the measuring equipment, the measurement methods of threads can be divided into the following categories.1) Go/no-go gauge inspectionThe traditional go/no-go gauge inspection method can only meet the minimum inspection requirements in thre......

Metal castings are a type of molded articles, how to conduct effective quality inspection on castings? Here are some testing methods to ensure high quality castings. How to Inspect Castings without Damage or Destruction 1) Liquid penetrant testLiquid penetrant testing is used to check various opening defects on the surface of castings, such as surface cracks, surface pinholes, and other defects that are difficult to find with the naked eye. The commonly used penetrant inspection is color inspection. This method is to correct or spray-colored (usually red) liquid (penetrant) wit......

How to precisely measure the dimensional accuracy of machining parts? Here we’ll present five methods of part dimensional inspection. 5 Ways to Measure the Dimensional Accuracy of Workpieces in Machining 1) Trial cutTrial cutting entails trial cutting, measuring, correction, and recutting until the requisite dimensional precision is achieved. For example, the box hole system’s trial boring. That is, initially attempt to cut a small portion of the machined surface, measure the size acquired from the test cut, modify the position of the tool’s cutting edge relat......

Inspection of welds is difficult and it takes time to train inspectors. If you increase the number of inspectors in order to train them, inspection results will vary and quality will not be stable. In addition, a lot of time is required for inspection, and production cannot keep up. Therefore, if welding inspection equipment is introduced, quality inspections can be performed faster and more accurately than human inspections. In addition, it is possible to inspect during welding and inside the weld, which stabilizes and improves quality. In this article, we will explain the types ......

Dimensional inspection to confirm that products and parts are finished to the specified dimensions is an important process in manufacturing. In the past, human visual inspection was the mainstream, but it was time-consuming and time-consuming, and inspection errors occurred. Currently, automation using dimensional inspection equipment is progressing, and it is becoming possible to realize dimensional inspection efficiently and without mistakes. In this column, we will introduce the mechanism and merits of dimensional inspection by dimensional inspection equipment, and points to consi......

An adequate internal audit management offers security and effectiveness for the evaluated Management System, for example, Quality Management, a standardized system with greater implementation at international level. Let us remember that the audit has among its objectives to identify problems that prevent the system from meeting the needs of stakeholders and the achievement of corporate objectives. That is why internal auditing is the engine that drives the continuous improvement of the system. But this does not mean that performing many audits will lead to much more improvement. It i......
