WISCON Wednesday!! Here is one of our inspection stations with a Zeiss Duramax CMM, and a VICIvision Laser inspection system. There isn't much we can't check right on the shop floor. These stations send real time data right back to the machine workstation letting our engineers know exactly how good the parts are at all times! #inspection #cncmachining #precision #wiscon #zeiss #vicivision #micronite #machinemetrics #data #howcanwehelp #cnc #machining

This is my project in progress Shows some parts that define the measurement area of each object are as follows. The overall propeller blade measurement valida- tion process uses a CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) type ZEISS CONTURA G2. This validation of Blade Propeller measurements refers to ISO 484-2 Second edition 2015-12-01 on manufacturing tolerances of boat screw propeller. Based on these measurement guidelines, the measurements are divided into 9 areas for object size validation process.

CMM fixturing is the backbone of accurate and repeatable measurements in precision manufacturing. A well-designed fixture ensures stability, minimizes distortion, and enables efficient part inspection. Investing time in proper fixturing isn't just about holding a part in place - it's about safeguarding the integrity of your measurements and ultimately, your product. Precision starts with the right foundation. #Manufacturing #CMM #QualityControl #PrecisionEngineering #MedDevice #MedicalDevice #MedicalManufacturing #CNCMachining #CNC #Mitutoyo #PrecisionMachining

What is the cost of a micron? This is a question I have posed to a few customers recently. It is also something I have discussed with some of our internal machining experts here at Elliott Matsuura Canada Inc.. I remember when 0.002" was a "tight tolerance". I guess I'm dating myself with that number, but was it really that long ago? Recently, some of our customers have been seeing 0.0002" tolerances on new designs. That's 0.005 mm. And those weren't plus-minus tolerances, but total tolerance, for forms and runouts. I just had a customer ask me whether their CMM could reasonably hold a 0.0002" form tolerance. Their machine is on the older side, still a Zeiss, but older. It is a 2.2 um machine. Your measuring machine is using 40% of your tolerance and you haven't even accounted for the part size or other manufacturing factors. Ideally, you would want to maintain a 10 to 1 rule for measurements. So a machine capable of 0.0005 mm. Lot's of companies will tell you 4 to 1 is fine, but those are usually companies with not very accurate equipment, trying to sell off inferior instruments. But even if you were to compromise, and consider a 1 um (0.001 mm) capable machine, how does that impact the rest of your operation? You now would have 0.004 mm of tolerance left for your manufacturing? If you want to have a process in control, you really need to use no more than about 0.003 mm of that. How much does that cost? How much is a milling centre or turning centre that can hold that tolerance? Even top of the line machines would likely need scales, coolant chillers, preset tooling, special inserts and more. Will you need to add a secondary process, like grinding, honing or lapping? Now multiply that over the number of machines you need to meet your production. Compound this with other factors like personnel, shop environment, metallurgy, and other fine details and you get a very expensive process. High precision work is starting to become more and more common. I see this growing in aerospace, medical, power generation, and with new electric vehicles. Every sliver of a micron you can allocate back to the manufacturing process relaxes the burden on holding such slim tolerances. But I am no fool. I know many companies feel reluctant to spend big on the QA lab. They would rather spend the money on making chips, because that's where the production comes from. I get it. And maybe that made more sense when the tolerance was 0.002". But with 0.0002" tolerances the game changes. You can't measure that with your Mastercraft calipers. It is better to spend a little extra on a high end measurement system. That higher accuracy buys you wiggle room on the production side, where the costs compound and multiple with every micron lost to the measurement process. The moral here: A top end quality systems buys you more production for your dollar. #zeiss #quality #costanalysis https://lnkd.in/guNicfva

This is a great explanation from Jim on an important truth for companies serious about high precision work: The more measurement uncertainty consumes tolerance, the better everything else must be. Money invested in a high-accuracy CMM pays dividends by leaving more tolerance for the machining process. #HiddenROI

As a design engineer puts this tight tolerance, it means that anything above this number and the part is scrapped and it cannot meet the function it was designed for. This tolerance, when needed, can lead to machining cost 10 times more expensive, and manufacturing time 3 to 4 times longer. Luckily, there are Measuring Machines that can achieve sub-micron accuracy in a very tight controlled environment. 'If it cannot be measured it cannot be Manufactured.' So with tight tolerance one does not have a choice of where to invest, the Metrology Lab will be expensive and the Manufacturing Department will be expensive.

At Cloudwave, Quality Control isn't just a department—it's our engineering stronghold. If you think inspections are just a formality, think again. Our Carl Zeiss CMM isn’t about standard measurements; it dives into the sub-micron realm, ensuring even the trickiest geometries are flawless. This isn’t ruler stuff—our machine’s AS9100D 7.1.5 alignment means precision is as dependable as a Swiss watch. Zero drift, zero error. Height Masters? They don’t just measure height—they nail vertical accuracy to 1 micron. With AS9100D 8.5.1 standards, we're not just checking precision; we’re annihilating any chance of dimensional drift across production. And the VMMs? They don’t touch your parts—they inspect with laser focus, offering high-speed, optical precision. For complex assemblies, manual checks are history. Our VMMs deliver real-time feedback, integrating Statistical Process Control (SPC) to squash deviations instantly. At Cloudwave, our tools don’t just meet AS9100D—they redefine it. CMM, Height Masters, VMMs: each is a precision powerhouse, engineered to obliterate aerospace standards. #CloudwaveQC #PrecisionEngineering #QualityControl #AerospaceStandards #AS9100D #CarlZeissCMM #HeightMasters #VMM #OpticalPrecision #SubMicronMeasurement #EngineeringExcellence #ManufacturingPrecision #StatisticalProcessControl #ZeroError #DimensionalAccuracy #HighTechInspection #FortressOfPrecision #CuttingEdgeTech #QualityFirst #InnovationInManufacturing
