Dimensional Integrity
We verify complex geometries and tight tolerances using a suite of high-precision metrology tools. Our quality labs are equipped with Hexagon Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) for complex 3D measurements, alongside Accretech and Mitutoyo instruments for precise contour, roundness, and surface roughness analysis. This ensures every geometric dimension and tolerance is held to the highest standard.
Material & Metallurgical Analysis
We confirm material integrity and performance characteristics through comprehensive metallurgical analysis. This includes Rockwell and Vickers hardness testing, material composition verification using optical emission spectrometers, and in-depth analysis with Olympus metallurgical microscopes. For rapid and accurate material identification, we utilize handheld XRF spectrometers from leading brands like Bruker.
