When measuring parts to tolerances of a thousandth of an inch, we can usually be certain that our measurements are accurate to within a “tenth,” if we follow standard gaging practice: i.e., master the gage frequently, maintain the gage in good working order, keep things clean, have the master recalibrated periodically, etc. But certainty becomes…
From the first spark to the final stamp, fiber lasers bring unmatched clarity, speed, and staying power, setting a new standard for marking in metal and mass production. In sectors where production speed and stringent standards go hand in hand, marking systems need to excel in reliability, longevity, and clarity. Our latest blog uncovers the edge…
Stainless steel fights back when you try to mark it. The material’s work-hardening characteristics and high strength create challenges that don’t exist with mild steel or aluminum. Push too hard with the wrong technique, and you’ll create stress risers that can lead to premature failure in critical applications. The solution isn’t to avoid marking stainless…
When it comes to manufacturing, there are many tools and techniques that can help improve efficiency, accuracy, and quality control. One of the most important of these tools is the height gage, such as the Trimos V-Series or Sylvac Hi_Cal. In this blog post, we will explore 10 reasons why height gaging is crucial to…
