Components that are manufactured properly and within tolerance ensure the products are easy to assemble, work as the designer intended, and are reliable. Some of the tools we use to inspect our aluminum tubing and extruded shapes, such as micrometers and calipers, can be found in any machine shop. Other tools like comparators and optical vision systems are used by companies manufacturing components for aviation and medical device component industries. We also have tools that can\u2019t be found anywhere else. These are typically go\/no-go gages, or check fixtures, developed for specific customer requirements. Let\u2019s look at a few of the aluminum extrusion inspection tools in greater detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A micrometer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a gage used to measure the wall thicknesses or the distance between two faces. Digital micrometers typically can measure down to the fifth decimal place, and analog ones can measure down to the fourth decimal place. They\u2019re a quick, easy and accurate method to measure and they are the preferred tool for accuracy when using a hand-held device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Micrometer-e1499285441260.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1338\" src=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Micrometer-e1499285441260-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Micrometer Inspection Tool\" srcset=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Micrometer-e1499285441260-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Micrometer-e1499285441260-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>A caliper<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a device used to measure the distance between two opposite sides of an object. A caliper typically can measure distances much larger than a micrometer and it\u2019s a versatile tool that can measure many different dimensions. For example, it can be used to measure a tube OD, Tube ID, wall thickness, and space dimensions between walls. A caliper can also be used to measure the length of a part which has been cut. It\u2019s accurate to the third decimal place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Caliper-e1499285452657.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1337\" src=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Caliper-e1499285452657-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Caliper Inspection Tool\" srcset=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Caliper-e1499285452657-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Caliper-e1499285452657-187x249.jpg 187w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>An optical comparator<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> uses a magnified silhouette of an extrusion that is projected upon the screen and the dimensions of the part are measured. The part can be measured using a graduated screen or an overlay of the part itself. A comparator is more versatile than a micrometer or caliper in that you can measure angles, radii, and other geometric tolerances that cannot be measured with hand tools. They are accurate to the fifth decimal place. Sample preparation is extremely important for accurate measurements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Comparator-e1499285463114.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1336\" src=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Comparator-e1499285463114-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Optical Comparator Inspection Tool\" srcset=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Comparator-e1499285463114-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Comparator-e1499285463114-187x249.jpg 187w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>A digital vision inspection system\u2019s resolution and accuracy is<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 10 times higher than the traditional Optical Comparators found in many extrusion plants and machine shops.
