Metrology is the backbone of quality control in manufacturing—it controls how we create a part, whether it’s long or short, thick or thin, and ensures that the parts are manufactured according to their specifications. To put it simply—without metrology, there would be no consistency in the world.

The seemingly simple and mass-produced holiday lights have become an integral part of our holiday traditions. We usually only wonder how they work when one burns out, and their ingenious mechanisms remain locked away inside the tiny bulbs. But with a microfocus industrial X-ray CT scanner, we can unwrap the complex engineering hiding inside.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) represents an important evolution in computer science and data processing systems which can be used in order to enhance almost every technology-enabled service, products, and industrial applications.

As the use of 3D measurement devices spread, a new need emerged to effectively leverage the measurement data obtained through the combined measurement and inspection process, since it contains valuable know-how and verification results.

Unlike area-scan cameras that capture the entire object in one frame, line scan cameras contain a single row of pixels, building the final 2D image pixel line by pixel line as the object moves past the camera.

As a result of the improvements, the sealing design and manufacturing specialist has immediately gained the ability to use the Renishaw SP25M tactile scanning probe, which it’s hoped will cut metrology cycle times by at least one-third when implemented in early 2024.

Cartesian gantries are robotic and motion control systems that operate within a defined three-dimensional space based on the orthogonal X, Y, and Z axes of the Cartesian coordinate system.

Additive manufacturing, often referred to as 3D printing, has revolutionized the manufacturing industry by enabling the production of complex and customized parts with unprecedented ease and speed.

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Toptica Photonics AG and the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a frequency comb system that can detect the presence of specific molecules in a sample every 20 nanoseconds, or billionths of a second.

Human-centred monozukuri evolution combines Toyota’s unique strengths with innovative technology and digital tools to transform car manufacturing and the future of cars
