Dimensional measurement is how we know and quantify the size and shape of things. It involves lengths and angles as well as geometrical properties such as flatness and straightness. Dimensional measurement is of fundamental importance for interchangeability and global trade. It is how we ensure that things will fit together. Without global length standards as the basis for standardized parts globalized industry would not be possible.

Specialists in the investment casting and machining of alloy metals, such as aluminium and titanium, which are primarily used for jet aircraft engines and airframes, have to measure the dimensions of the blades after surface grinding.

Due to its flexibility and programmability in meeting these challenges, Equator gauges are being deployed in an increasing number of automotive parts manufacturers to inspect stators and EV motor housings plus many other automotive components.
