FARO Technologies, Inc. and Carl Zeiss Industrial Metrology announced last week at IMTS the launch of the Innovative Solutions Network, a marketing, sales and support collaboration in North America. Through the network, these two metrology providers will provide a broader product solutions offering, including both traditional and portable CMMs.
 Measurement is vital to any manufacturing business, providing essential information to control processes and verify products. But older co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) can become bottlenecks if they fail to keep pace with changing measurement needs. Advances in sensor, metrology software and controller technology now offer the opportunity to transform existing CMMs, providing greater accuracy, faster measurement, more automation and new capabilities. by Jerry CookA recently installed Zeiss coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is playing a critical role in helping Quality Inspection Techologies (QIT), Beamsville, ON to diversify away from its traditional automotive market into a variety of new market sectors.  by Jerry CookCompeting in the global automotive marketplace has never been easy and isn’t likely to get any easier in the future. However, a recently installed advanced automation cell is now giving Glueckler Metal Inc., Barrie, ON a significant edge in the fiercely competitive global auto market.
Manufacturers strive to avoid difficult gaging situations by enforcing strict quality control processes that begin with ensuring their gages are properly calibrated to international standards of measurement. For best gaging practices, manufacturers start with applying primary standards for measurement and inspection that will ultimately lead to consistent, reliable gaging results. Further, they use proper care and maintenance procedures to maintain accuracy and provide long tool life.
