Measurement Equipment

When working in inches or even millimeters, it is easy enough to grab a ruler or tape measure for your measuring needs. But in today’s manufacturing environment, parts are created with tolerances less than plus-or-minus .001 inch. With those types of measurements, you need sophisticated measurement equipment.

Quite simply, measurement equipment helps manufacturers build products quicker, of the correct size and shape and in accordance with specific, required tolerances, not only benefitting the manufacturer with rework and scrap and an improved bottom line, but also ultimately benefitting potential customers with higher-quality goods at a less expensive price.

Depending on the quality, quantity, and type of product being made, as well as the capabilities of the manufacturer, there is a host of measurement equipment available beyond the ruler or tape measure, from simple gages, calipers, and micrometers to coordinate measurement machines, laser scanners, and multisensory measurement machines, and more.
