Over 25 Years Experience
Our precision inspection service is based on over 25 years experience gained across multiple industries, from plastic moulding manufacturing through to critical flight parts in aviation. We work with our customers start to finish to create inspection plans, design fixture assemblies, and carry out component inspection.
The Latest Technology
Investment in the latest software allows our engineers to work seamlessly with your component definition and inspection requirements, handling CAD and Drawing definitions. Our CMM’s are equipped with a range of measuring technologies including the latest Renishaw REVO-2 probe head with its unique ability to offer full 5-axis scanning. Combining all these elements allows us to deliver a high integrity inspection process with easy to understand reports.
Frequently Asked Questions
What traceability do measurements carry?
All CMM inspection work is carried out in our temperature controlled laboratory, using machines with OEM UKAS calibrations traceable to national standards. In additional to this, our managements system is ISO 9001 certified.
What size parts can you inspect?
Our largest CMM has a working volume of 1200x2000x1000 mm and we can handle up to 750 kg. We’ve successfully measured hole diameters as small as 0.4 mm.
What format will I receive my results in?
You’ll usually receive a CSV file with the measured values and a PDF report. The PDF can include deviation plots if required.
Do you offer programming services?
Yes, as well as CMM inspection services, we can also help program your machine. Whether its troubleshooting an existing program or creating a new family of programs after the purchase of a new machine.
