TIP VF Calibre #6 — Calibration of smooth ‘Go/No-Go’ equipment

by | Nov 26, 2025 | Calibre, TIP, Visual Factory

🔧 Go/No-Go gauges are essential instruments in production for quickly verifying whether a part meets tolerances.
But to ensure their reliability, these tools must be calibrated correctly and with traceability.

In this new TIP VF Calibre #6, we show you how to calibrate smooth Go/No-Go equipment within Visual Factory Calibre, following metrological criteria and ensuring total control of the process.

📏 In the video, you will learn how to:
✅ Configure the family of this equipment
✅ Record the calibration results and obtain the results.
✅ Associate the tool with its reference standard
✅ Automatically generate the calibration certificate
✅ Maintain the traceability and validity of each tool

🎥 See step by step how Visual Factory Calibre manages this calibration in a simple, fast and fully audited way.

👉 Control the reliability of your ‘Go/No-Go’ gauges with the same rigour as any other measuring equipment.

TIP VF Calibre #5 — Attribute Formats: Simplicity and “OK / Not OK” Control

TIP VF Calibre #5 — Attribute Formats: Simplicity and “OK / Not OK” Control

by | Nov 5, 2025 | Calibre, TIP, Visual Factory

⚙️ In Visual Factory Calibre, there are different formats available for performing inspections, and the simplest of them all is the “Attribute” type.

This format allows you to record qualitative results —for example, “OK / Not OK” or “Approved / Rejected”— making it ideal for quick, clear checks, especially in visual or functional verifications.

🎥 In this new TIP VF Calibre #5, we show you how to configure and use attribute formats, the perfect starting point to get familiar with Calibre’s logic before moving on to formats involving correction calculations, uncertainties, or numerical tolerances.

👉 Master the simplicity of attribute formats to get ready for more advanced formats that include correction and uncertainty calculations.

by | Oct 8, 2025 | Calibre, TIP, Visual Factory

🔧 Do you have several torque wrenches in your facility, each calibrated using different criteria?
With Visual Factory Calibre, you can create a family of tools with a common configuration, ensuring uniformity and efficiency in the calibration process.

🎥 In this new TIP #4, we show you step by step how to configure a torque wrench family by defining:

✅ Common tolerances and acceptance criteria
✅ Technical fields adapted to the type of tool
✅ Specific calibration instructions
✅ Templates to automatically generate certificates

👉 All this translates into fewer errors, greater traceability, and faster work for your technicians.

Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk? More than acronyms, they’re the key to trusting your process 📊

Do you really know what these capability indices indicate?
Or do you calculate them… without being clear on how to interpret them?

Capability indices are essential to know if your process:

✅ Is stable
 ✅ Is centered
 ✅ Meets customer tolerances
 ✅ And above all… if it can be trusted

📊 In Visual Factory SPC we calculate these indices automatically, but the most important thing is understanding what they mean and how to use them.

🔗 That’s why we’re sharing this article from our blog, where we explain everything in detail with practical examples:

👉 Read the full article here: Cp, Cpk, Pp, and Ppk? More than acronyms, they’re the key to trusting your process.pdf

🎯 If your Cpk values seem low… or if you don’t know when to use Ppk, this read is for you.

TIP VF Calibre #2 – Set acceptance criteria on a solid technical basis

by | Sep 26, 2025 | TIP, Visual Factory

⚙️How do you decide whether a piece of equipment is acceptable or not after calibration or verification?

Visual Factory Calibre allows you to automate this decision through three configurable acceptance criteria:

 🔹 Maximum uncertainty
 🔹 Maximum permissible error (MPE)
 🔹 Defined tolerances

In addition, the recommendations of the ILAC-G8:09/2019 guide are taken into account, ensuring an approach aligned with internationally recognized practices.

These criteria allow each company to adapt the system to its own production reality and level of demand, without relying on external evaluations that are impractical for daily operations.
