The precision measurement head of the Newport Mikrometer mikron is engaged in the critical task of ensuring consistent product quality in the assembly of high-volume washing machine drums. As the drum components are machined and assembled, this device is mounted on the quality control station where it measures the radial runout of the drum shell with sub-micron accuracy. This ensures that the final product meets the strict tolerances required for smooth operation and long service life. The measurement process is automated, integrated into the production line, and performed at regular intervals during the assembly cycle. By detecting even the slightest deviations, it enables early corrective action, reducing waste and rework. In this setting, the device supports the continuous flow of production, maintaining high standards without interrupting the line. Its role is essential in safeguarding the performance and reliability of household appliances, directly contributing to customer satisfaction and brand reputation.
