Why is inspection often overlooked as a profit improving process? Many companies view parts inspection as a cost of doing business – a non-value-added expense. BUT it doesn’t need to be so expensive. In this episode of Delivering Perfect Parts Faster, Matt and Mike from Summit Manufacturing Systems of New Hampshire sit down with Steve Phillips, President of Phillips Precision to change the prism used to view inspection. They discuss inspection process improvements and how inspection data should be used to control and improve your entire manufacturing process.

A Quality Inspectors role is multifaceted and stressful trying to keep pace with production, technology advances and required quality standards. It’s an unreasonable expectation that they are also skilled at programming and design of complex inspection fixtures. In the rare case you employ such an inspector – hold on to them! In this podcast we discuss this industry gap and how companies like Carl Zeiss Industrial Metrology help make your CMM’s sing. And, as always we shed some light on education and opportunities in this area of manufacturing.

Delivering Perfect Parts Faster! is a unique podcast series from inside the walls of a manufacturing laboratory - Phillips Precision, Inc. of Boylston, MA - the birthplace of industry changing innovations; Mitee-Bite® Pitbull® Clamp, Inspection Arsenal®, Laser Arsenal® and the M5 Edge FinderTM.

Proprietary software is costly and dispiriting to purchase (and renew), learn, implement and maintain. Alternately, choosing universal, open-source, multi-function software can free up skilled employees to work on much more valuable work. Quality Inspectors are among some of the most technical and talented in the manufacturing work force and our goal in this podcast is for you to consider freeing up time to spend on fixture designs that will speed inspection. In this episode of Delivering Perfect Parts Faster, you’ll learn about an affordable design platform that Phillips Precision uses for designing production fixtures, our own product design and even inspection fixture design. Listen to Cody Armstrong, Director of Technical Services of PTC and Victor Rinaldi, Product Development Engineer with Phillips Precision as they discuss OnShape as a contemporary multi-function and affordable choice – from production through to inspection!
