Mitutoyo’s MeasurLink® Quality Management Software Streamlines Data Management Process
Mitutoyo’s MeasurLink® Quality Management Software Streamlines Data Management Process
System saves time, money and increases productivity in brake automotive manufacturing industry
Business Challenge:
In the automotive industry, disc brake calipers and ABS/Traction control systems are usually manufactured in large quantities, and in the past, it has been nearly impossible to capture data in real time. Real time data provides a streamlined process of looking at the data that is very intuitive to quality engineering and can be interpreted in a more fluid way.
Mitutoyo America Corporation’s CMM’s, using MCOSMOS and GEOMeasure software, can capture manufacturing data; however, a data management software system is a more efficient way to manage a larger volume of data. Operators could use CMM reports to ensure the parts were in spec, but the operators needed to...

Product Recall
Recall: Standard Bar for Micrometer
Recently, we have found the possibility of a dimensional error in the 225 mm standard bar for the micrometer. Item number 167-109. The standard bar was sold separately and supplied with various micrometers. There is a potential effect on the length of the micrometer standard due to a heat treat issue. This recall impacts only select products. For a full list, please visit Mitutoyo Japan. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. For a replacement of recalled products, please call 888-MITUTOYO...Providing Precision to Power Aerospace Engines
Over recent years, a wide range of advanced machine tools have been developed to help satisfy global aerospace manufacturing industry’s requirement to produce parts faster than ever before. Although these innovative machines manufacture complex components within much faster cycle times, often increased production levels create bottlenecks in inspection departments. To help avoid these hold-ups, increasingly progressive aerospace manufacturers are including state-of-the-art inspection technology in their investment plans.
Having selected the most appropriate machine tools to enable the efficient production of blisks and IBRs (aero-engine components consisting of a rotor disk and blades), the management of ITP Engines Ltd. recognized the need to invest in advanced quality control equipment. The proposed inspection system needed to be capable of accommodating the demanding dimensional tolerances of the company’s blisks and IBRs, and also have the required high-speed, high-accuracy scanning...
Metrology Helps Hone Precision
Mitutoyo helps meet customer expectations in the realm of deep hole boring, where diameters are more than 20 mm.
One of the specialties offered by Hone-All Precision Ltd. of Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, is the machining of nickel-chromium-based super-alloy components to tight tolerances. These oxidation and corrosion-resistant materials, typified by Inconel and Hastelloy, are well-suited for service environments subject to extreme pressure and temperature, and therefore, are favorites of the petrochemical industry, however, they are very difficult to machine. Accelerated tool wear is a constant concern. This is particularly true in the case of bored-hole features that sometimes approach three meters in length and which usually have to be finished by honing to meet stringent customer specifications.
Form accuracy shaped up
Due to the length of a typical bore, obtaining the accuracy potential of single-point tooling is impractical, except...
