New precision measurement equipment poised to support improved production timelines
The new optical comparator at Fleet Readiness Center East Precision Measurement Center uses lights, mirrors and lenses to magnify the parts and cast a two-dimensional image to a screen, allowing for non-contact measurement and evaluation, which prevents potential damage to the parts. The new version of the equipment provides the ability to obtain more detailed measurements with higher precision than the version it replaced, which improves overall accuracy.
