Measure Twice, Cut Once
Sam Schaffter
My grandfather was a carpenter, so growing up I often heard the adage, “Be sure to measure twice so you only have to cut once.” The saying is also attributed to tailors—you have to make sure your measurements are correct before you cut the fabric. Little did I know that years later the saying…
CNC Machine Tool Calibration
Automated Precision Inc.
CNC machine tool calibration is essential for machining precision and process reliability. Even a well-built CNC machine will gradually drift out of alignment due to everyday wear and environmental factors, leading to deviations in accuracy. Without regular calibration, these small errors can…
Smarter, Connected Manufacturing on the Shop Floor
Darren Metherell, Quality Digest
Quality Digest attended the 2025 Hexagon Live event in Las Vegas in June—and with that came the opportunity to speak with the great minds, creators, innovators, and sales teams of Hexagon. Darren Metherell, head of sales at Hexagon, followed up with the QD team after this event to speak more about…
All Over the Dial
George Schuetz
There are endless variations in the dials used on mechanical dial indicators. In most cases, though, they can be broken down into two distinct styles: balanced and continuous. Let’s look at both. With a balanced dial, the graduations around the dial represent the smallest value, or resolution, as…
When Cameras Count
Sabine Terrasi
The precise recording of passenger numbers is essential for transport companies—it helps optimize timetables, make better use of capacities, and organize local public transport more efficiently. A modern solution for this is camera-based passenger-counting. Intelligent image processing systems…
Optimizing Quality Control in Metal Processing With Advanced Measurement Solutions
Creaform
Brosius GmbH is a trusted partner in metal processing for a wide range of companies in the mechanical and plant engineering industries, offering comprehensive services under one roof. Brosius ensures that every part it manufactures in its 10,000 m² state-of-the-art production hall meets or exceeds…
Robotic Probe Quickly Measures Key Properties of New Materials
Adam Zewe
Scientists are striving to discover new semiconductor materials that could boost the efficiency of solar cells and other electronics. But the pace of innovation is limited by the speed at which researchers can manually measure important material properties. A fully autonomous robotic system…
What’s With These Torpedo Bats?
Mark Hembree
The 2025 Major League Baseball season certainly started with a bang—at least for the New York Yankees. At Yankee Stadium against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Bronx Bombers blasted an MLB-record 15 home runs in the first three games, including nine homers in a 20-9 bludgeoning of the Brewers in the…
Simulations Reveal Secrets to Strengthening Carbon Fiber

The Role of Motion Control in Next-Gen Metrology and Inspection Systems
Rene Ymzon
When manufacturing tolerances shrink to the micron, and part geometries become increasingly complex, the margin for measurement error disappears. In this space—where even thermal drift or mechanical vibration can invalidate results—motion control becomes not just a component but a cornerstone of…
Radar System Extends Signal Range at Millimeter-wave Frequencies
Ariana Tantillo
A team from MIT Lincoln Laboratory has built and demonstrated wide-band selective propagation radar (WiSPR), a system capable of seeing out various distances at millimeter-wave (mmWave or MMW) frequencies. Typically, these high frequencies, which range from 30 to 300 gigahertz (GHz), are employed…
Quantum Advances: NIST and Industry Drive Powerful Computing and Clocks
Dr. Scott Davis
Imagine what life would be like without GPS, something you use all the time without thinking about where it came from. NIST’s atomic clock research helped bring us GPS, which has had more than $1 trillion dollars in economic impact. This is just one of the many scientific breakthroughs to come out…
