Threads are helical threads more commonly known as thread pitch. When a thread is inside a cylinder (female thread), it is a female thread. Conversely, a thread is an external thread (male thread). Thread, bore and tap inspection is one of the common needs in the industry, there are a lot of parts that have this type of geometry and it is very important to ensure the conformity [...]

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a discipline grouping together processes and techniques to identify characteristic differences, welding defects, and discontinuities, all while avoiding any harm to the original part. The use of non-destructive testing measurement techniques is essential for the industry. Indeed, NDT techniques are very important for a company because they allow to make a lot of savings by not destroying parts that can sometimes be very expensive. [...]

A profile projector is an optical measuring instrument used in metrology and quality control. This device allows the shadow of the part to be measured to be projected on a screen which is then used by the operator to perform the measurements.x It's the principle of Chinese shadows, but it still works very well today. Plastiform markets products that are very suitable for this type of device and [...]

Metrology is a scientific discipline that includes all methods for obtaining measurements. Industrial metrology is a branch of the discipline applied to the production sector. In the industry, metrology is most often used to check dimensional conformity, it is a way of ensuring quality control. Industrial metrology and scientific metrology differences This discipline was originally used to ensure the conformity of productions in the industrial sector. It has [...]
