Quality control teams are often reluctant to conduct product inspections on the factory floor. Instead, part examination is usually redirected to the lab, where the inspection can be performed on a dedicated force measurement machine. Traditionally, force measurement devices are larger pieces of machinery that are designed to deliver accurate measurement of products and parts.
Manufacturers in the aerospace industry, for example, often produce large parts that cannot be easily manoeuvred on the factory floor. In these environments, testing is not always viable until the end of a manufacturing process, when the part can be safety moved to the force measurement device.
