Our tool undergoing optical inspection as part of Cobra Carbide’s quality control process. Each cutting edge is measured for rake angle, flute geometry, and concentricity using a precision optical comparator system capable of sub-micron accuracy. This allows our engineers to evaluate every aspect of the tool’s geometry, including primary and secondary relief angles, edge integrity, and surface finish uniformity. For industries such as aerospace, medical, and automotive manufacturing, these tolerances define more than just performance; they define reliability, repeatability, and lifespan. By applying the same standards used in advanced material science and precision engineering, Cobra Carbide ensures that every tool leaving our facility meets the strictest global benchmarks for dimensional control and surface integrity. #QualityControl #Metrology #PrecisionEngineering #Manufacturing #TungstenCarbide #CNC #Tooling #CobraCarbide

Vernier Caliper vs Micrometer (Simple Comparison for Engineers) Both are used for precision measurement, but each is better for different jobs. Knowing when to use which tool helps in getting accurate results. ★ #Vernier_Caliper : • Range: Larger (0–150 mm / 0–300 mm) • Resolution: Around 0.02 mm or 0.001 inch • Best for: Outer diameter, inner diameter, depth, and step measurement • Advantage: Can measure many features with one tool • Use it for general inspection and production work. ★ #Micrometer : • Range: Smaller (0–25 mm per frame) • Resolution: Higher accuracy, up to 0.01 mm or 0.0001 inch • Best for: Thickness or small diameter measurement • Advantage: Gives more accurate and repeatable results for small dimensions • Use it when high precision is required, especially in quality labs. ✓ Simple Rule: → If you need versatility, use a Vernier Caliper. → If you need high precision, use a Micrometer.

Unlocking efficiency and productivity: In my recent article for “xt additive Fertigung,” I highlight the advantages of wire-based electron beam additive manufacturing (WEBAM). https://lnkd.in/dJCkPzjz Energy Efficiency: WEBAM consumes only one-third the energy of laser-based AM systems, with significantly lower emissions across all environmental factors. It excels with reflective and thermally conductive materials like pure copper. High Productivity: Capable of melting thick wire (1.6 mm) at feed rates up to 12 m/min, WEBAM achieves deposition rates up to 13 kg/h—far exceeding typical AM benchmarks. Material Efficiency: The hybrid manufacturing approach, combining electron beam welding of near-net-shape substrates with additive builds, reduces machining effort by up to two-thirds and significantly lowers tool wear.
