Well, metrology is the science of measurement. And it’s the technology used in metrology that plays a critical role behind the quality assurance processes in manufacturing.
We live in a world where increasingly tighter tolerances are a way of life -- and so is the pressure to turn out precision parts efficiently. Hundreds of thousands of parts are produced each week across a wide range of industries including automotive, aerospace, technology and other sectors. And manufacturers pay close attention to every part that goes into the products, making sure those products fit together exactly right, every time one comes off the assembly line. The precision measurements used to ensure high-value part quality are made possible by metrology instrumentation such as our Z-Mike Pro laser micrometer.
NDC Technologies' Z-Mike Pro laser measurement system has a long history of helping the industry’s leading manufacturers and machine shops to deliver precision parts that meet increasingly tighter tolerances. More than 15,000 manufacturing applications worldwide count on Z-Mike’s high accuracy and repeatability to help them deliver superior quality products their customers’ demand.
The Z-Mike Pro measurement system is so precise that it can measure parts within tolerances of less than 1 micron and takes operators only minutes to learn. It measures parts without contact so there is no part distortion or operator influence to affect measurements. You can measure soft, delicate, brittle, hot and even radioactive parts with complete confidence. Measurements can be made to determine product diameter, ovality, effective cutting diameter, taper, TIR and to conduct part analysis.
To give you an idea of the applications flexibility, the Z-Mike Pro can be used to measure critical part dimensions for fuel injectors, cutting tools such as drills/reamers/routers, glass tubes, plug and pin gauge calibration tools, valves, pistons, rubber rollers, motor shafts, crankshafts, camshafts and medical devices, to name few.
Many of these precision measurements would not be possible without the use of modular fixtures. The Z-Mike Pro measurement system can be equipped with a number of ready-to-mount modular fixtures, from simple manual fixtures to fully automatic and intelligent fixtures.
