The world of Quality, Inspection, and Metrology is a broad one, with different meanings to almost everyone. Add to that dozens of companies, hundreds of measuring technologies, and thousands of possible applications and finding the best measuring tool available can be quite daunting. This guide serves as a compilation of data that quantifies the strengths, […]

In addition to dimensional accuracy and positional deviation, roughness is increasingly becoming the focus of quality assurance in the production of components. Functional properties and structures of component surfaces must be tested to ensure properties such as sealing, lubrication, friction or wear behavior. For this reason, microscopic structures are increasingly measured in the CMM environment […]

Fast reaction times and direct feedback make measurement technology integrated into production attractive. For the solution to be successful, mechanical engineering, ergonomics and service must result in a future-proof overall concept. For some time now, metrology has been undergoing a change from the measuring room to the production environment or to the fully automated production […]

Today’s blog deals with the question what role quality assurance (QA) and especially metrology will play in the digital factory. What is changing as a result of digitalization and which technologies will be in demand in the future? – Prof. Dr. Heiko Wenzel-Schinzer, CDO of the WENZEL Group gives the answer. Of course metrology will […]

The progressive digitalisation of manufacturing companies is the primary reason for the current changes in Quality Assurance (QA). In the following, however, we will concentrate on the aspect and trends of industrial metrology: Metrology directly in the production: The closer the measurement technology can get to production, the better. In-line or near-line solutions are becoming […]
