The optical metrology market is expected to witness a high growth trajectory over the next five years, owing to the increasing demand for precision optics and the growing adoption of optical metrology in various industrial sectors. In terms of application, the industrial segment has dominated the global optical metrology market in recent times and is…

What is multi-sensor metrology? Multi-sensor systems use an array of sensors to measure an object’s dimensions and shape in real-time. The approach combines the accuracy of laser touch probe measuring techniques with the flexibility and speed of sensor-based systems. Sensor-based metrology makes use of a series of interconnected sensors and processing devices to measure an…

Types of metrology equipment & the benefits of each This article will examine the differences between traditional and sensor-based metrology, and analyse the different technologies available from coordinate measuring machines, scanners and shadowgraphs through to optical measuring machines, and explain how sensor-based metrology can improve production efficiency in a variety of industries.  For more information,…

Applied metrology can be carried out to measure parts and production pieces in a variety of ways. Often, the best solutions lie behind utilising several types of metrology systems, and fortunately, OGP has crafted multi-sensor platforms such as the SmartScope and Vantage that allow you to use these solutions in tandem on one machine. First,…

Having access to a metrology machine is a benefit that companies can’t discount in an increasingly digitised, post-COVID landscape. Metrology is an essential part of quality control, employing complex and thorough measurements of data points to analyse an object. In manufacturing, this essentially means ensuring that parts are to specification and within tolerances. We’ve already…

Metrology is, in its simplest definition, the scientific study of measurement. From an industry standpoint, this means so much more than simply measuring parts and comparing numbers. Metrology takes what we learn from measuring and applies it in pursuit of accuracy, reliability, and most importantly, repeatability. Employing effective metrology systems means that users in fields…
