When checking whether a part’s dimensions match the drawings, measurements must always be taken. But have you ever wondered how accurate those measurement results really are? You might think results from an expensive measurement device are correct. However, there is always some uncertainty in measurement results. And this uncertainty is not inherent in the measurement device itself, but rather attached to the measurement results. In other words, even when using the same measurement device, the uncertainty will vary depending on measurement conditions, environment, the person......

Line production is a method that enables the smooth and high-volume production of the same product by organizing various processes into a predetermined sequence. It is excellent for the production of single products as machines and equipment can be arranged in the order of the processes, allowing for efficient mass production. However, line production alone cannot guarantee the production of inexpensive and high-quality products. Inspection is essential. In line production, both “inline inspection” and “offline inspection” are utilized. In this article, we ......
