Mitutoyo ‘Engages’ with SSS Clutch

When searching for ways to improve their efficiency levels most manufacturers concentrate their efforts mainly on increasing the productivity of their manufacturing plant and improving the effectiveness of their operational systems. Although achieving progress in these areas is important, a growing number of businesses are discovering that significant efficiency gains can also be made in the areas of inspection and quality control.

For instance, the impressive speed and accuracy of the latest generation CNC Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) allows users to lower their inspection times and by extension reduce their lead-times. In addition, by cutting the time that elapses between the manufacture of components and their inspection, parameters that are found to be drifting from nominal conditions can be identified much sooner, adjustments made and company scrap levels slashed. Last but not least, the ability of the latest generation CNC CMMs to perform rapid unmanned inspection routines on large batches of complex components releases quality control staff to perform other duties. All of these advantages contribute to companies’ bottom lines and ensure rapid returns on their advanced CNC CMM investments .
