New temperature measurement technique boosts efficiency of component manufacture
New research findings show how engineering firms can make major gains in productivity and efficiency by reducing the often-considerable time-lag between the manufacture of components and checking their precision on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). To ensure complete accuracy, CMMs are housed in a strictly temperature-controlled environment. But manufacturing processes often lead to big increases … Continue reading New temperature measurement technique boosts efficiency of component manufacture
