This article compares laser probes and mechanical gauges for in-process dimension control, exploring their principles, applications, and trade-offs. Drawing on research and examples, it guides engineers in selecting tools for precision manufacturing.
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines are pivotal in modern manufacturing, allowing for high precision and repeatability in the production of parts and components. One of the critical aspects of CNC machining is tolerance, which refers to the permissible limit of variation in a physical dimensio
