Machine Shop

Our in-house machine shop can readily address issues such as part tolerance for fit. For example, if a part drawing was incorrect or in error, modifications or new parts can be fabricated quickly reducing potential impact on delivery.

High Speed Verticle CNC Milling Machine

Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)

 

With today’s complex and precision mechanical parts, obtaining precise dimensional information is very important to confirm those parts are being made to specifications. We use a Mitutoyo Crysta-Apex 574 CMM (coordinate measuring machine) with a scanning probe capable of measuring to millionths of inches to validate parts.

This CMM allows us to manage and document quality control of machined parts as well as being useful for identifying machining issues that affect finished dimensions.

Built-in temperature probes allow this CMM to compensate for thermal effects even when measurements are taken under less than ideal conditions.

For consistently accurate and repeatable measurements, MCOSMOS software drives the CMM measurements effectively removing operator influences from all measurements.
