Quality Digest Tech Talk

Join us for a look at Brunson Instrument's amazing 220,000 square feet cave where they design and manufacture their state-of-the-art metrology equipment.

In this episode, we take a closer look at the Lasertec Optelics Hybrid Confocal Microscope, which features high resolution, wide FOV, nano-scale measurement, and wavelength selection.

This week on Tech Corner we look at the JEOL NeoScope (JCM-7000) scanning electron microscope from Nikon Metrology. Auto functions, stage automation, and software enable easy sample imaging and elemental analysis.

The Nikon SMZ 1270i Stereo Microscope offers a wide viewfield at low magnification, enabling easy confirmation of observation targets, while its cutting-edge optics provide bright and sharp images through the entire viewfield.

Communication is key to any quality department and even more so in a global environment. Learn how to effectively share knowledge gained from your SPC charts so everyone is on the same page.

Data collection happens throughout the work day but how do the critical measurements get stored and analyzed? We review some manual as well as automated techniques that can help ensure the data collected is reliable.

Gages are found throughout manufacturing facilities. In today's episode, we discuss key identifiers that should be present on effective gage labels and stickers.

Today we take a close look at the Olympus DSX1000 Digital Microscope, which boasts a 20–7,000X magnification range and the ability to instantly switch between six observation methods. Fast motorized optical zoom lets you optically zoom in and out by simply turning the dial on the console. Advanced algorithms enable you to capture high-resolution 3D images just by pushing a button.

Master gages are vital to performing internal calibrations. What do you do when the master is found out of tolerance? We share tips and the beginnings of corrective actions that can be taken when a master gage failed its recent calibration.

What is Cpk, what does it indicate, and how can we use it as a measure of a system’s health? We discuss all those questions and more as our expert shares take on this valuable statistical index.
