Why Ultrasonic Transducer Alignment Matters in Tube Extrusion (And How AutoPilot Solves It)
Updated May 11, 2026 Maintaining accurate wall thickness measurement during tube extrusion depends on one critical factor that is often overlooked: transducer alignment. Ultrasonic measurement systems work by sending sound waves through the tube wall and measuring the returning signal. For the measurement to be accurate, the transducers must remain centered on the product as […]
Laser Micrometer Troubleshooting Guide: 10 Common Problems and How to Fix Them
Updated May 11, 2026 Laser micrometers are widely used to measure diameter, ovality, and dimensional variation in manufacturing. You will find them on tubing extrusion lines, wire and cable lines, hose and pipe lines, and in medical device QA laboratories. When everything is working correctly, they provide extremely stable and repeatable measurements. But like any […]
