Staying competitive with in-process gaging

Article Abstract:

Manufacturers are enhancing their inspection systems with in-process gages and statistical-process-control data to eliminate rejects and reduce human intervention in the gaging process. One of the firms that adopted the new process is Deere & Co., a farm machinery firm whose turnkey manufacturing cell, built by Superior Tool, has been installed with in-process gaging and a data collection and analysis software program.
