Dimensional Control
Dimensional Control is a process used in manufacturing and engineering to ensure that parts and assemblies meet specified measurements and tolerances. It involves measuring the physical dimensions of components and comparing them to design specifications to verify accuracy. This is crucial for maintaining quality and functionality in products.
The process often utilizes tools like calipers, micrometers, and coordinate measuring machines (CMM) to assess dimensions. Effective Dimensional Control helps prevent defects, reduces waste, and ensures that products fit together correctly, ultimately leading to improved performance and customer satisfaction.
