Livonia, MI – October 26, 2023 – BEHR PROCESS LLC, a leading provider of custom engineered process solutions for the automotive, aerospace, and general industries, today announced a strengthened partnership with Mitutoyo, a global leader in precision measurement equipment. This collaboration brings together BEHR’s expertise in designing and building specialized automation systems with Mitutoyo’s renowned precision instruments, specifically the Mitutoyo Dial Indicator, to offer customers enhanced quality control and improved manufacturing processes. For years, BEHR PROCESS LLC, located in Livonia, Michigan, has been a go-to resource for companies needing tailored solutions. We don’t just sell equipment; we figure out what’s really holding you back in your production line and build something that solves that problem. We’ve worked with everything from small component manufacturers to huge automotive plants, always focused on making things run smoother, faster, and with fewer errors. You can reach us at 847-888-7697 if you're facing challenges. A core element of many of our systems – and increasingly, a customer request – is reliable, accurate measurement. That's where Mitutoyo comes in. The Power of Precision: Integrating the Mitutoyo Dial Indicator We’ve been using Mitutoyo equipment for a long time internally, and it consistently delivers. But lately, the demand for specifically the Mitutoyo Dial Indicator has really taken off. Customers are realizing it’s not just about getting a measurement, but getting a measurement you can trust. So, what's the big deal with this dial indicator? It’s pretty simple, really. It's a mechanical instrument used to accurately measure small linear distances. Think of checking if a part is the right height, or if a surface is perfectly flat. But it’s not just simple. Mitutoyo has been making these things for decades, and they’ve perfected it. Here's what our customers are telling us they love about the Mitutoyo Dial Indicator: Rock-Solid Accuracy: We’re talking tolerances down to 0.001 inches. That’s crucial for parts that need to fit together perfectly. A tiny difference can throw everything off. Built to Last: These aren't flimsy gadgets. They’re made with high-quality materials and designed to withstand the demands of a busy production environment. We see a lot of equipment come and go, and Mitutoyo consistently holds up. Easy to Read: The dial face is clear and easy to read, even in low-light conditions. No squinting or guessing. This saves time and reduces errors. Versatility: You can use it for all sorts of measurements – checking runout, flatness, concentricity, and more. One tool, lots of applications. Reliability: It's a mechanical instrument. That means fewer electronics to fail, and less downtime. In a production environment, that's gold. How BEHR PROCESS LLC is Using the Mitutoyo Dial Indicator to Solve Customer Problems We don’t just throw a dial indicator into a system. We integrate it. Here are a few examples of how we've been helping our customers: Automated Inspection Stations: We’ve built custom inspection stations that automatically position a part and then use the Mitutoyo Dial Indicator to measure critical dimensions. This speeds up the inspection process and reduces the need for manual labor. One customer, a supplier for the aerospace industry, reduced their inspection time by 40%. In-Process Monitoring: We’ve integrated the dial indicator into machining centers to monitor tool wear and prevent defects. By continuously measuring the part as it’s being machined, we can detect when a tool needs to be replaced, preventing scrap and ensuring consistent quality. Custom Gauging Fixtures: We design and build custom gauging fixtures that use the dial indicator to quickly and accurately check complex parts. These fixtures are tailored to the specific part and application, ensuring consistent and repeatable measurements. A major automotive manufacturer used one of these fixtures to reduce scrap rates by 15%. Retrofitting Existing Equipment: We've helped customers upgrade their existing equipment by adding the Mitutoyo Dial Indicator and automating the measurement process. This is a cost-effective way to improve quality control without having to invest in entirely new equipment. Beyond the Indicator: BEHR’s Full Range of Solutions The Mitutoyo Dial Indicator is just one piece of the puzzle. BEHR PROCESS LLC offers a comprehensive range of solutions, including: Custom Automation Systems: We design and build automated systems for a wide range of applications, from assembly and testing to packaging and palletizing. Robotics Integration: We integrate robots into manufacturing processes to improve efficiency and reduce labor costs. Machine Vision Systems: We develop machine vision systems for inspection, sorting, and identification. Process Development & Optimization: We work with our customers to optimize their manufacturing processes and improve quality. Looking Ahead BEHR PROCESS LLC is committed to providing our customers with the best possible solutions for their manufacturing challenges. Our partnership with Mitutoyo allows us to offer a powerful combination of expertise and technology. We see the demand for precise measurement continuing to grow, and we’re excited to be at the forefront of this trend.
