Amerisave Loans LLC Streamlines Quality Control with Innovative Cylinder Measuring Gage

Sandy Springs, GA – October 26, 2023 – Amerisave Loans LLC, a leading mortgage lender headquartered in Sandy Springs, Georgia, isn’t just about helping people achieve the dream of homeownership. They’re also quietly innovating in a surprising area: precision measurement. The company recently unveiled a new cylinder measuring gage, designed to dramatically improve quality control processes, not just internally, but potentially for a wide range of manufacturing and engineering applications. Now, you might be thinking, “What does a mortgage company know about measuring cylinders?” It’s a fair question. The answer lies in Amerisave's commitment to process optimization. “We were facing challenges with consistently verifying the dimensions of critical components used in some of our internal automation projects,” explains Mark Johnson, Amerisave’s Head of Operational Efficiency. “Existing tools were either too slow, too imprecise, or just didn’t fit our needs. So, we decided to build a better one.” This isn't about Amerisave suddenly pivoting into tool manufacturing. It started as an in-house solution to a specific problem. The company’s engineering team, already adept at data analysis and process streamlining—skills vital in the mortgage industry—applied those same principles to develop a cylinder measuring gage that’s noticeably different. What’s so special about this gage? "A lot of cylinder gages out there are, frankly, kinda clunky," says Sarah Chen, one of the lead engineers on the project. “They require a lot of manual setup, and getting a consistent reading can be tricky. We wanted something simpler, faster, and more reliable." The Amerisave Cylinder Measuring Gage boasts a few key features that set it apart: Digital Readout: Forget squinting at calipers! This gage uses a high-resolution digital display to show measurements with pinpoint accuracy, down to the micron. "It practically eliminates human error," Chen explains. Automatic Measurement: Unlike traditional methods that require manual manipulation, this gage automatically captures measurements with a single, smooth motion. This significantly speeds up the inspection process. “We’ve seen inspection times cut by as much as 40%,” says Johnson. Versatile Range: The gage is designed to accommodate a wide range of cylinder sizes, from small precision components to larger industrial parts. “We wanted a tool that could handle pretty much anything we threw at it,” explains Chen. The current prototype handles cylinders ranging from 10mm to 150mm in diameter. Robust Construction: Built with durable materials, the gage is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use in a workshop or manufacturing environment. "We're not messing around with flimsy plastic," says Johnson with a chuckle. User-Friendly Interface: The gage features a simple, intuitive interface that requires minimal training to operate. "We wanted something anyone on the team could pick up and use right away," Chen adds. Data Logging Capability: The gage can be connected to a computer via USB, allowing users to log measurement data for quality control and analysis purposes. “This is a huge benefit for tracking trends and identifying potential issues,” Johnson explains. Beyond Internal Use: Potential Applications While initially developed for Amerisave's internal needs, the engineering team quickly realized the broader potential of their invention. The gage could be valuable in a wide range of industries, including: Automotive Manufacturing: Verifying the dimensions of cylinders in engines, brake systems, and other critical components. Aerospace Engineering: Ensuring the precision of cylinders used in hydraulic systems, landing gear, and other aircraft components. Medical Device Manufacturing: Measuring cylinders used in syringes, catheters, and other medical instruments. Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Checking the dimensions of cylinder barrels, pistons, and seals. General Manufacturing: Any application requiring precise measurement of cylindrical objects. A Surprise Innovation from an Unexpected Source “We’re a mortgage company, not a tool manufacturer,” Johnson emphasizes. “But we believe in innovation, and we’re proud of what our team has accomplished.” Amerisave is currently exploring options for potentially licensing or selling the cylinder measuring gage to other companies. They've received positive feedback from several industry experts who have had the opportunity to test the prototype. "It's a testament to the talent and ingenuity of our engineering team," Johnson concludes. "They saw a problem, and they built a solution. It just happens that the solution is a really precise cylinder measuring gage."
