Metrology

Our new, purpose-built metrology department houses the latest technology, so we’re able to offer our customers metrology to the highest standard on every part we produce. We can offer measurement services to the tightest of tolerances. Through constant investment, we can offer the following services:

Non-contact measurement

• OGP SmartScope non-contact measurement machine
• Combines state-of-the-art video and autofocus to deliver high levels of productivity
• Equipped with the optional through-the-lens (TTL) laser, accuracy is further enhanced
• Allows us to measure more complex geometries than normal contact measurement techniques can achieve.

Contact measurement using Yohansson Topaz CMM

• Fully rebuilt and upgraded in 2011
• High accuracy TP20 probe with changeable modules
• Full 3D CAD model import
• Full statistical process control reporting (SPC)
• Full GD&T capabilities
• Large measuring volume.

Portable measurement system using FaroArm prime

• Ultra portable, accurate measuring system
• Full CAD integration
• Multiple mounting methods for versatility and flexibility
• Fixture setup and calibration
• Precision measurement on shop floor and in metrology department
• Mould tool investigations possible without removing tool from the machine
• Full statistical process control (SPC)
• Full GD&T capabilities

As well as offering state-of-the-art measuring capabilities, we also offer rapid prototyping through our metrology department (see our recent case studies). This addition is able to offer the following advantages:

• Rapid prototype parts for functional evaluation
• Rapid prototype tooling inserts for low volume production in production materials
• Custom designed and printed part fixtures
• Custom designed end of arm tooling for advanced assembly
