Measurement is an integral component in precision machining. CNC machined parts must be inspected, and equipment for that includes micrometers, calipers, gages and coordinate measuring machines.
Every month, we’re putting together a Technology Showcase, highlighting some of the product information that PM received from supplier companies. For June, we focused on Measurement, including precision touch sensors; an advanced wireless data collection system; a 3D edge finder; and more as described below.
For the latest new products across the broad spectrum of precision machining, check out Production Machining’s New Products online.
