Without good repeatability from the measuring system the collected data is of little to no value.
Gauge
Repeatability and Reproducibility (R&R) is one of the most important aspects of a gauging fixture but also one of the most difficult functions to achieve when building a gauging probe.
The failure of a gauging probe to provide good repeatability comes primarily from three sources - mechanical free movement within the probe, electrical noise and magnetic interference
Solartron has invested extensively in the manufacture of bearings and shielding against both electrical and magnetic interference
