IN-LINE GAGING SYSTEMS CAN IMPACT MORE THAN JUST PART QUALITY

In-line gages may use any of the common gaging technologies, including air, contact, laser and optical.

Adding in-line gaging to an existing manufacturing system can be a low-cost way to extend its useful life.

In many applications, in-line gage can be used to increase productivity by measuring parts before they are processed.

Frank Powell, manager of grinder products, and Roger Zeoli, manager of bench & machine gages in Marposs Corp., Auburn Hills, Mich., develop the matter in the In-Line Gaging Systems Can Impact More Than Just Part Quality article from the January 2013 issue of Quality Magazine.
