Producing high quality precision parts is highly dependent on the accuracy of machine tools. Even parts which are not themselves machined often depend on machining to produce accurate moulds and jigs.

AmericanMachinist.com reflects the work and aspirations of machine shop owners, managers, operators, and programmers. We examine the practical challenges of machine shop operations; evaluate the new ...

EPFL researchers have developed a method to calibrate electron spectrometers with extreme accuracy by linking microwave, optical, and free-electron frequencies. Frequency is one of the most precisely ...

Vision calibration targets are precision test samples or patterns that are printed or etched on a substrate of glass or other material for dimensional calibration and depth-of-field determinations of ...

Uncertainty in load-cell-compression calibration may make perfectly good load cells appear bad. • Force vectors don’t want to remain in line with the object being pushed. • Load-cell specifications ...
