Is Risk the Future of Quality?
I’ve been in quality a long time and seen its ups and downs. I believe there is now a resurgence or as some say quality renaissance. We think the glory days of quality are starting in 2024 driven by risk.
Hopefully, this piece describes what’s up. And, most importantly how you can position yourself and make money. We call this opportunity risk or upside risk.
Should a CMM be replaced with a robot?
Deciding whether to replace a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) with a robotic measurement system can be challenging. To make an informed choice, it’s essential to understand the unique strengths and limitations of each technology. Let’s explore this in more detail, with examples to help you visualize the differences.

How to Read & Interpret ISO/IEC 17025 Calibration Certificates
This article is an adaptation of my popular presentation, “Beyond the Sticker & the Cert (Ensuring Better Measurements & Reducing Risk).” Product manufacturers, testing labs, and calibration labs, in attempts to reduce risk and ensure better measurements, will have their measuring and test equipment (M&TE) calibrated so they can have their “sticker and a cert.” But how often do people actually read their calibration certificates?
REGO-FIX Announces Partnership with Omega TMM for Presetting Solution
REGO-FIX, a Swiss toolholding company and inventor of the standard-setting ER collet, has partnered with tool measuring and management solution company Omega TMM for the creation of ORION powered by REGO-FIX – a tool measuring machine using REGO-FIX’s powRgrip® toolholding system with Omega TMM’s presetting technology.
Unlocking the Future of Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM): Advanced Controllers and Industry Evolution
In the world of precision manufacturing, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) stand as pillars of quality control and assurance. These sophisticated devices have become indispensable tools for verifying the dimensions of manufactured parts with incredible accuracy. At the heart of every CMM lies its controller - the brain that coordinates movements, processes data, and interfaces with measurement software. As manufacturing tolerances tighten and the demand for faster, more accurate measurements grows, CMM controllers have become a focal point for technological advancement in the metrology industry.
UNVEILING THE HIDDEN HURDLES OF AUTOMOTIVE PART MANUFACTURERS
Manufacturing sheet metal is far from a simple task. It requires rigorous inspection, primarily due to the high quality and stringent safety standards required in the automotive industry. No doubt, a combination of advanced technology and skilled labor must be involved to ensure that the sheet metal components are cut and shaped to precise dimensions. This includes checking for correct length, width, surface profile, and overall shape. Quality inspection is vital because automotive sheet metal must withstand stress and fatigue over the vehicle’s lifetime.
