Articles on CMM inspection, calibration records, laser tracker alignment, portable arm practice, and the documentation decisions that shape manufacturing quality reviews.
A quality compliance manager's account of why high-end measurement instruments fail silently — from CMM drift to contaminated pipettes to unverified resistance testers — and why the cheapest purchase decision is often the most expensive one. Includes ISO-based verification advice and pipette cleaning steps.

Continue readingA first-person story about an emergency order: coordinating Hexagon CMM machine calibration, a 117 multimeter check, sensor distributor choices, and the right Agilent HPLC fittings before an FDA audit.
Continue readingAn office administrator’s story about sourcing Hexagon CMM probes, a flow meter, a Carl surgical microscope, and Fluke multimeter guidance—and why the lowest quote didn’t win.
Continue readingA Hexagon quality manager explains why Hexagon Metrology CMMs, differential pressure transmitters, the centrifuge 5804, and insulation testers fail incoming inspection—and why 'insulation tester vs megger' is the wrong question.
Continue readingPractical answers about Hexagon CMMs, multimeter prices, profile projectors, and Eppendorf pipette calibration—from someone who has rejected more than a few non-conforming deliveries.
Continue readingA procurement manager compares Hexagon support to buying test equipment direct, using the Fluke 17B+ digital multimeter, FLIR C5 compact thermal camera, and Megger insulation tester as real examples.
Continue readingA quality inspector's view on why support—especially Hexagon support—should drive your next measurement equipment decision, whether you're buying a CMM, a multimeter, or a thermal camera.
Continue readingA quality manager recounts how a small client's Rice Lake calibration sheet request led to a deeper conversation about precision measurement, CMMs, and why every customer deserves serious attention.
Continue readingWe compare Hexagon factory calibration vs independent third-party labs for CMMs, multimeters, sensors, and pipettes across turnaround speed, pricing transparency, certification quality, and aftercare.
