This project arose as a necessity to support another project I worked on which is included in this portfolio. (see Profile Grinder.)
Some of the diameter tolerences to be held on some of the medical guidewire core wires were so tight +/- .0001" that conventional micrometers just weren't accurate enough to verify whether the parts were good or bad. In fact, we proved through a gage R&R that the Profile Grinder was capable of repeatably grinding parts more accurately than are inspection tools could measure.
