Inspection
Inspection
is carried out throughout the manufacturing process both at
the machine as well as in our two dedicated inspection departments.
Each machine cell is equipped with a range of gauges and verniers
for on machine inspection of parts. Our main inspection department
which is based around two large granite tables is fitted out
with a range of height gauges and digital inspection equipment
as well as a large library of standard reference dies for known
tolerances including threads and bars. CMM is undertaken in
a dedicated inspection room using an Etalon 454 Derby system.

Top Inspection:
Each machine centre is equipped with
a range of inspection tools ranging from slip gauges, height
gauges,
verniers and micrometers as well as specialist equipment where
required such as this Mitutoyo SJ 201 Surface Roughness instrument
which is being used to measure a bearing surface just after
machining.
Inspection
Department:
Our inspection department with its two
dedicated quality inspectors is fully equipped with granite
tables and a wide variety of inspection instruments. A complete
library of special materials and relevant standards is close
to hand as are a complete range of calibrated threads and
gauges.
CMM:
For
CMM we use a Etalon 454 Derby system which offers a measurement
envelope of 457mm x 508mm x 406mm with a repeatability of 4µm.
The system allows for printing of inspection reports in A4.
