The whole "climate change" bogle that's been stuck into everyone's heads just needs to fall asleeep. 1) Antarctica used to be tropical, the whole top of Africa that is now desert used to be a...

Had someone use one of those kits on my headlights, and worked perfectly. Before = cloudy, after= crystal clear.

Looking to see how expensive it is as well as satisfaction or not with the company and software.

Looks like several different modules make up a suite, from Corrective Actions to Change Management,...

I appreciate the reply.

Essentially I'm looking at what you've described: In the case of a CUSTOMER COMPLAINT no one has to engage any subjective voodoo. It's a CAR. Because it's a Customer...

I'm not going to belaboring why I need to ask what I consider a basic question. I'm simply going to ask and calibrate myself if need be based on feedback.

I work in a small shop (20 people). ...

Assuming you have identified Root Cause and fixed the "quality issues" that keep occurring, as others have pointed out you can ship an Inspection Report with each delivery identifying what each part...

I'll think about that. Currently, I have an "intelligent" spreadsheet setup to auto-number rows and ID inspection point columns based on just entereing number of Parts and number of Inspection...

Phil,

What is happening is the original 7, 23, 64, have been physically replaced with spare parts. The spare parts have been renumbered as 7, 23, and 64 and the inspection measurements for the...

I would like to thank each and every one of you for your considered advice, no matter the subject isn't overly technical.

Didn't think about using a separate internal control number on the parts. ...

Example: 100 parts for delivery, 105 parts made (5 as extras). All are engraved with IDs + a sequence number

During inspection parts 7, 23, and 65 FAIL. Parts 101, 102, and 103 are selected,...

We are a small manufacturing plant producing tooling for die cast / plastic Molding. The vast majority of parts are round, often with elaborate molding detail at ends. For the purposes of...

In browsing the Realtrac ERP website they have a page dedicated to talking about R & D Tax Credits many manufacturers can qualify for, but most of them either don't know about it so don't bother. ...

If replying to the entire survey is prohibitive, perhaps some of you might skip to the "Your Inspection Procedures" part at the end . . .

Though this may at first appear long, the intent is to not ask for War & Peace from you. Rather, fast data points. My need is to ping "the industry" for a broader view from those of you having to...

I would like to thank all the responders in this thread. There are some good pointers in here. I particularly like the tip off to the Mantis, as well as to the Artistry site as that is a direct...

Beege,

Are you using these for polishing? I ask as the format of the scope is critical it would seem. Meaning, a free floating head that can be positioned as needed as Polishers are manipulating...

The title sums it up.

Our application is the polishing of tooling we make for molding customers. Typically, these are parts .300 to 1.5" in dia in some form of steel or perhaps Moldmax/Moldstar...

If anyone is using any of Keyence's "Instant Measurement" systems such as the IM-7000 series, what have your experiences been? The Pro's seem self evident, but anyone have any Con's?

Accuracy in...

I have a pair of Mahr 6" wireless calipers I bought for proof of concept for exactly what you have described. No "dongle" on it, integral to the head of the caliper. There's a tiny wireless...

Does anyone have a Laser marking solution with SOFTWARE that allows you to identify sequence numbers in a text string that the system is to auto-increment?

For instance: The engraving is to be...

Thanks for the reply. If I have more questions about your implementation are you open to some PM's?

The question also encompasses electronic work-flow / routers that pass jobs from position to position as job steps are completed. What software, do you like it vs do you not like it?

1) If you...

I agree, and is the spirit of the first step I've taken out of pen and paper. I've purchased an inexpensive Mahr caliper with wireless data collection capability, and built an internal inspection...

I hear you, but the specific point I'm zeroing in on is: If you have 10 customers, who each have their own Inspection Report Format, how are people out there handling that? This is more a...

Thank you.
