In our recent series, we’ve devoted a blog to explaining and understanding each of the key terms used in measurement technology (terms like true value, accuracy, precision, etc.) In this final instalment, we’ll investigate the term “tolerance”. Unlikely a way as it sounds to start a blog about a key aspect of measurement systems, the...Continue Reading
Find out with Kjell Johnsen from Conoptica at the IWM conference, ‘Energy Innovates – Growth Through Sustainability’, 14th-15th November, in Birmingham, UK. Waste is endemic to production processes – including those for wire and cables. Reducing this waste is a key metric to help boost sustainability. And, it also reduces costs and helps protect margins...Continue Reading
In this blog, part of our series on the basics of measurement, we’re going to look at “precision”. It’s one of those words that we use in everyday life without thinking twice about its meaning. But in the world of measurement and measurement systems, perhaps not surprisingly. We must be a lot more careful. In...Continue Reading
Between the 6th and 8th October, we’ll be in New Delhi for Cable and Wire Fair 2023. It’s the biggest wire industry trade show on the sub-continent, having grown exponentially in the past five years as the wire manufacturing industry has expanded. That’s not surprising. The Indian economy is growing rapidly with booming manufacturing, infrastructure,...Continue Reading
If you weren’t already aware, Wire South-East Asia is the major annual trade fair for the region’s wire and cable industry and as such, it’s a great time to learn about the latest trends and developments in the field in China, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other local countries.

Meeting the need for accuracy and precision for the wire and cable and machine tools industries – and a new distribution partner coming soon for China. After a couple of turbulent years, we’re seeing strong signs of growth – with green shoots popping up across all the regions in which we are active. We can...Continue Reading
In industrial scale wire production, hundreds if not thousands of drawing dies can be in use continually and simultaneously. For precision manufacturing, accuracy is key. So, it’s worth taking a closer look at factors that can reduce accuracy and how you can maintain quality through accurate measurement of your drawing dies, as we’ll do in...Continue Reading
A recent visit to Conoptica headquarters from Zenkoh, a key regional partner, yielded interesting insights into one of our leading overseas markets – and sets the stage for our growing collaboration, bringing our drawing die measurement tools to even more companies in Korea. Although in common with many developed market economies South Korea presently finds...Continue Reading
