If your customers demand 100% testing and supplier inspection services, there are really only two options available to you as a manufacturer: CMM and tactile measurement procedures that have been in use for decades are typically too slow to allow the Core M machine to meet the extremely short measuring cycles required. In the same way, traditional laser or light measurement solutions are limited due to factors such as fixed head orientation, measuring environment, reflective parts, and so forth.

Each and every part of a particular batch is subjected to 100 Percent Inspection, which means that all parts of a particular batch are tested against predetermined tolerances of defined features. Testing every single quality feature on a part is referred to as "Complete Testing" or "Complete Inspection," and it is a component of complete quality assurance.

When we talk about a 100% inspection or testing process in metrology, it is important to first define our terms. In metrology, the phrase "100% Inspection" or "100% Testing" refers to the fact that everything has been tested or inspected.

We are all aware that the best lean manufacturing and quality management process is to prevent errors in manufacturing by inspecting before and during the manufacturing process – allowing the process to be corrected as needed. If everything goes according to plan, this will happen long before they are ready to be shipped. It goes without saying that this is our primary focus at WENZEL America, which is why we develop so many custom CMM measuring solutions that are integrated into the production line and the shop floor. Nonetheless, we recognize that we do not live in an ideal world, and we are aware that automotive, medical device, and aerospace companies (your customers) are increasingly demanding that parts manufacturers perform 100% Pre-Shipment Inspection before shipping – regardless of the quality of their metrology processes before and during production.

With the proper CMM measuring solutions in place at each stage, you can bring that 80% accuracy as close to 100% as is reasonably possible. When 100% inspection is required before shipping, the challenge for manufacturers is to reduce the amount of time and money spent on the inspection while still obtaining the most accurate measurements possible. 

Despite the fact series is ideal for increasing shop floor production speed, it was created to meet the needs of all high-speed CMM measurement applications. The optical measurement method used by the CORE, combined with the high dynamic linear motors, allows for extremely short measuring cycles. The CORE, in contrast to other optical CMM measuring machines, is surface independent. This eliminates the time-consuming surface preparations required by the majority of optical systems.

1. Use low-cost 100% Inspection systems to save money, which can result in expensive "bad parts," fewer "good parts" to ship, and additional downtime due to slow, non-ideal testing methods.
