How do you ensure that your roundness or roughness system is calibrated?
In our Verify and Calibrate video series, we’re showing you how to calibrate roundness and roughness measurement instruments—and how to verify the calibration for ongoing accuracy.
In this video we use gage blocks to verify the calibration of manual and automated roundness system. It’s a quick and reliable way to ensure the ongoing accuracy of the gage.
We recently took a call from a manufacturer who was trying to tell whether a production issue was due to a change in the process or a change in the measurement instrument. We asked how they determine whether the instrument was measuring accurately, and they said the manufacturer calibrated it, months before. We asked if…
EMI Gage has provided support for Precision Devices roundness gages and surface texture profilers for over 20 years. With maintenance and care, PDI’s Indi-Ron and MicroAnalyzer systems can perform at near-OEM condition for decades. So, how do we help keep PDI systems accurate and reliable? Calibration EMI Gage calibrates PDI gages to adhere to quality…
Our new article in Cal Lab Magazine covers a lot of ground about what your can, and can’t, expect from your roughness or roundness gage. Knowing the strengths and limitations can help you avoid errors and misinterpretations, and expensive mistakes on the shop floor.
How do you ensure that your roundness or roughness system is calibrated? In our new Verify and Calibrate video series, we’ll be showing you how to calibrate roundness and roughness measurement instruments—and how to verify the calibration for ongoing accuracy. In our first video, we’re using a Flick standard to verify the calibration of an…
Do you think of EMI Gage, Inc. as a probe vendor? You’re right! But we’re a lot more than that. Our ISO 17025 certified calibration team help hundreds of companies to stay in compliance each year. Unlike OEM instrument suppliers, our metrologists can calibrate many brands of texture, form, contour, and roundness gages—even on the…
Replacing a metrology system can be a huge expense, so keeping older gages in service is vital for many businesses. Older systems need support to keep going, but even instruments with a lot of wear and tear can continue to perform reliably. So, how bad can a system get, but still be useable? It just…
