Why Metrology Matters In Precision Machining
Many of the tasks in high-tech processes used in metalworking, such as CNC machining, can be automated to free up workers to perform other tasks that require a human touch. However, the machinery and tools in high-production environments can wear down over time, resulting in products that exceed acceptable tolerances or are otherwise inaccurate, which can delay production as the quality issues are addressed. Without a system in place to check parts as they are produced, you could wind up with hundreds or thousands of parts that are useless to the customer.
