PRECISION PLUG GAUGE CALIBRATION
REDUCING THE COST OF QUALITY WITH NON-CONTACT METROLOGY
All precision manufacturing Quality Management Systems (QMS) depend on accurate gauge calibration and verification. A failure to precisely manage and maintain metrology equipment creates a multitude of problems, including RMAs (Return Merchandise Authorizations) and worse, loss of customer confidence for future orders.
Large-scale manufacturers often address this challenge with dedicated calibration personnel or third-party calibration services. This is a time-consuming operation and susceptible to serious consequences if inconsistencies arise. Cost of quality typically skyrockets here, and quickly distinguishes the average manufacturing facility from the exceptional.
As a Tier 1 OEM component supplier, CSP has substantially reduced the time and risks associated with typical plug gauge calibration by using the Keyence IM-7000 Instant Measurement System. This recent addition to our manufacturing floor boasts 0.5-micron accuracy, with instant results stored directly to our Zeiss database, Piweb.
