NEW METROLOGY UNIT
£100,000 worth of Metrology Equipment
A
computer driven Johannson ‘7000’ co-ordinate
measuring machine is the major item in £100,000 worth of metrology equipment
employed by DIS.
The
CMM can provide a full print-out of all readings taken. Alternatively
data can be provided on a floppy disc as part of the CAD CAM process.
The
Johannson ‘7000’ CMM is capable of measuring components up to
700mm long. Also installed is a Baty optical profile
projector, equipped with edge sensing and the facility to down-load
data for statistical process control. A toolmaker’s microscope is particularly
valuable for very accurate, non contact type measurement.
The service can be adapted to a diverse range of products and components,
such as castings, mould tools, pressings and machines parts to name
a few and is done so on a totally independent basis.
