The Emerging Technologies Hub at Penn State have completed an ambitious preservation project to create what is expected to become the first freely accessible, high-resolution digital twin of the Liberty Bell.

Because of the intricate geometry and large dimensions, traditional measuring tools were simply not suitable. Simple instruments, such as calipers, could not capture the complex shapes involved.

Advanced tooling and composite components manufacturer Pentaxia has transformed how it approaches the machining of complex components after introducing MSP’s PerfectPart suite of CNC metrology products into its process.

Schneider Electric set out to solve a pressing challenge: how to expand inspection coverage, increase throughput, and reduce manufacturing costs—without increasing complexity or reliance on individual technical expertise. The answer came with the integration of Cognex In-Sight cameras and the OneVision AI development environment.

In the production of metal wheels using the flow-forming process, it is necessary to check the thickness distribution on the round body after each deformation step. This helps to comply with the target dimensions, ensuring high product quality and cost-effectiveness.

For years, industrial metrology was primarily associated with inspection and quality control. Today, however, it is increasingly becoming a driver of engineering innovation—particularly in applications where geometry is complex, operating conditions are harsh, and manufacturing variability presents significant challenges.

Inspection of shock absorber mounts involves several critical geometric measurements. Maintenance teams must verify the flatness of mounting surfaces, which directly affects how loads are distributed once the shock absorber is installed.

The robotic inspection cell consists of three principal elements: a Mitutoyo MiSTAR coordinate measuring machine, a multi-axis articulated robot and an automated storage system capable of accommodating up to 20 pallets carrying parts awaiting inspection.

Specialized robots, machine vision systems and force-sensing technologies are helping ITER tackle one of fusion’s toughest engineering challenges: assembling and eventually maintaining the interior of the tokamak.

Industrial AM quality specialist amsight is working with precision manufacturing company toolcraft to implement a more automated, transparent, and scalable approach to additive manufacturing quality management, with a particular focus on semiconductor-related production.

Audi is strengthening its digital inspection capabilities with SuPAR, an augmented reality-based visual inspection solution designed to bring CAD data directly into the real production environment.

SL Laser continues to expand the role of laser projection technology in manufacturing with solutions designed to improve positioning accuracy, reduce setup times and eliminate manual production errors.

Quality control is under more pressure today than ever before: It must operate flexibly, precisely and economically. Industries such as automotive, mechanical engineering and electronics manufacturing test a growing variety of components – often under changing conditions and with minimal time for complex integrations.

The Creaform 3D MetraSCAN doesn’t just measure parts faster; it sees them differently. As manufacturing grows more complex, teams are finding new ways to boost efficiency, precision, and product quality with tools like 3D MetraSCAN.

Visometry’s AR platform, Twyn, is delivering measurable value for WISAG Industrie Service Group by improving the speed, precision, and efficiency of visual quality inspection processes.
