Inspection System Combines Length Gage, DRO
Heidenhain’s inspection system combines a Certo length gage, which is capable of a large measuring range including high-accuracy, nonometer-level measurement, with an ND 287 digital readout (DRO) equipped with Statistical Process Control (SPC). Common applications for this system are inspection of parts with tight tolerances and gage block calibration.
