Welcome back! As promised, our anniversary story-time continues today. Yesterday, we explored Anton Fink’s founding of Metrology Systems Corp. Today, let’s dive into when chucks became a key part of our company’s identity. It all started with another idea—and another patent. This time, it wasn’t a gear tester or a height gauge but an air-actuated clamping device for machine tools. Air Chucks were already in use in the 1970s, but they had a significant drawback: frequent maintenance issues due to their complex design and poor repeatability. Even though our name wasn’t yet MicroCentric, one of our core values was already clear—innovation. True to form, Anton Fink optimized and redesigned these chucks, leading to one of our most well-known and best-selling products to this day: the MicroCentric High Precision Air Chuck. With a standard TIR of 0.00005" (0.0012mm) and, in some cases, an astonishing 0.00002" (0.0005mm), these chucks became a game changer in precision workholding. As a result, Metrology Systems Corp expanded into two departments: one focused on measurement systems and the other on our innovative Air Chucks. Over time, we also developed high-precision Hand Chucks with repeatability of 0.0001”. Although we no longer manufacture Hand Chucks, they symbolize the shift in our focus towards a new market. But when did Metrology Systems Corp become MicroCentric? The answer is simple: it was the name of the chuck itself. The first Air Chuck was called the MicroCentric Air Chuck, and as chucks became central to our business, the name "MicroCentric" better reflected who we were and what we did. Today, it stands as a constant reminder of our commitment to delivering innovative chucks with unmatched precision. Want to know more about the Chucks that started it all?

A brief discussion of my views on the current laser market. The laser cutting machine industry is in a state of internal competition. For laser cutting machines, the core is nothing more than laser, laser head, system, and driver. The domestic laser industry is also in a state of competition. Cost reduction is the most important indicator in this track now, so you will find that the original 6KW and the current 6KW cutting capabilities are very different. Among domestic lasers, Raycus and MAX are still the leaders. Compared with IPG, there is actually no substantial gap, which fully meets production needs. In addition to PRECITEC, there is also BOCI with FSUCT, which is unique. There is no big difference between other brands. FSUCT is the absolute leader in the system. After Weihong cooperated with Bodor and HSG, its current market share is also increasing rapidly (after all, Bodor's market share is there). The best driver is still Yaskawa, and of course other domestic brands are also good.

Celebrating World Metrology Day! Today marks the anniversary of the signing of the Metre Convention on May 20, 1875, a pivotal moment that laid the foundation for standardised measurements across the globe. This day underscores the importance of a unified system of measurement that ensures consistency and reliability in science, industry, and commerce. Standardised measurements are crucial for quality assurance, international trade, and fostering global cooperation. Metrology, the science of measurement, is at the heart of scientific advancement and technological innovation. Accurate measurements enable precise experimentation and data collection, driving progress in various scientific disciplines. From healthcare to environmental monitoring and manufacturing, the role of metrology in ensuring the quality and safety of products and services cannot be overstated. It supports the development of new materials, manufacturing processes, and cutting-edge technologies. Let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible impact of metrology on our daily lives and global economy. By promoting interoperability and reducing discrepancies, metrology enhances economic efficiency and facilitates smoother international transactions. This World Metrology Day, let's celebrate the remarkable contributions of measurement science to our world and the continuous efforts to improve measurement standards and technologies. #WorldMetrologyDay #Science #Technology #Innovation #GlobalCooperation #Standardization #QualityAssurance #Metrology
