Digital by customer demand

Article Abstract:

The adoption of a gage-management software proved instrumental in reducing cycle times at Metrology Solutions Inc. Through the use of Engage, a software designed by Rockwell Automation Datamyte, the company has been able to accept direct output from any gage instruments with a serial device. Equipped with electronic data transfer capabilities, the program eliminates risks arising from human transcription errors and helps users write certificates without the need for interfaces. Engage further features data-crunching capabilities in order to help customers determine the frequency of calibration needed.

Micro-machined parts kept in spec with vision systems

Article Abstract:

The need to maintain the quality of medical equipment prompted Orchard Park, NY-based Hayden Precision Industries to automate its visual inspection system. By employing video measuring systems designed by Optical Gauging Products, Hayden was not only able to reduce the inspection time of equipment, but also improved the accuracy of its measurements. Since the system features 3-D capacity, technicians were further able to inspect internal chamfers. Obtaining high level of accuracy eventually led to improved customer confidence.
