Dimensional Inspection & Metrology

CMM Inspection &
Precision Metrology

Every casting and machined component is dimensionally verified against drawing before it leaves our facility β€” inside a dust-free, 20Β°C constant-temperature metrology lab. CNC CMM, optical vision measuring system, and complete GD&T inspection reports are included with every order.

Our Metrology Lab

Climate-Controlled Precision Environment

“No part leaves our facility without dimensional sign-off inside this lab. Not a gauge station on the shop floor β€” a purpose-built, ISO 1-compliant environment where every measurement is traceable, repeatable, and audit-ready.”

Our metrology lab is maintained at a constant 20Β°C (Β±0.1Β°C), with humidity held at ≀55% RH throughout. These controlled conditions eliminate the two most common sources of CMM measurement error: thermal expansion of metal parts, and particulate contamination of probe tips and optical sensors.

All dimensional work β€” first article inspection, production lot sampling, and customer witness inspection β€” takes place exclusively in this lab. It is a permanent, dedicated facility built for precision measurement, not a corner of the production floor pressed into service.

Why It Matters

What Our Controlled Lab Delivers for Your Parts

When OEM customers conduct supplier quality audits, the metrology lab is always on the checklist. Here is what our climate-controlled, dust-free environment means for the accuracy and reliability of your inspection data.

🌑️

Thermal Expansion Control

Metal expands with temperature. A 1Β°C deviation in an aluminum part introduces ~5 Β΅m of error per 200 mm of length β€” enough to reject a tight GD&T callout.

πŸ“

ISO 1 Reference Temperature

At 20Β°C (ISO 1 standard reference temperature), all measurements are internationally traceable and repeatable across labs worldwide.

🧹

Dust-Free Environment

Dust particles on precision surfaces or probe tips cause false readings. Our clean-room standard eliminates this contamination risk.

πŸ”

Audit-Ready Facility

OEM and tier-1 customers audit supplier metrology labs as part of approved supplier qualification. A dedicated, climate-controlled lab demonstrates the quality investment serious buyers require.

20Β°C

Constant Temperature

Variance held within Β±0.1Β°C β€” eliminating thermal expansion error

≀55RH

Humidity Control

Prevents condensation on optics and air bearing surfaces

Particulate Control

Clean-room standard protects sensitive probe tips and optical sensors

Why 20Β°C? Β ISO 1:2016 defines 20Β°C as the standard reference temperature for geometrical product specifications. All gauge blocks, reference standards, and calibrated instruments are certified at this temperature. Measuring at any other temperature introduces systematic error from thermal expansion β€” which for aluminum (CTE ~23 Β΅m/mΒ·Β°C) can be significant even with a few degrees of deviation.

What We Inspect

Dimensional Inspection Capabilities

Our metrology lab handles the complete spectrum of dimensional verification β€” from standard linear tolerances to complex GD&T callouts, surface roughness measurement, thread gauging, and bore roundness.

πŸ“

Linear Dimensions & Tolerances

Length, width, height, bore diameters, wall thickness, step heights, and all critical dimensions per drawing with tolerance verification.

🎯

GD&T: Position, Profile, Runout

Full geometric dimensioning and tolerancing β€” positional tolerances, profile of a surface, circular runout, total runout, and concentricity.

πŸ”©

Thread Gauging

Go/no-go thread gauging for internal and external threads. Major diameter, pitch diameter, and thread depth verification.

πŸ”¬

Surface Roughness (Ra)

Surface roughness measurement using a profilometer β€” Ra, Rz, and Rt values documented against customer specifications.

β­•

Bore Diameters & Roundness

Precision bore measurement including diameter, roundness (circularity), cylindricity, and taper β€” critical for bearing seats and sealing surfaces.

πŸ“

Flatness & Parallelism

Surface flatness, parallelism between datum surfaces, perpendicularity, and angularity β€” essential for mating and assembly interfaces.

Common Questions

FAQ β€” Dimensional Inspection

Do you provide First Article Inspection (FAI) reports?

Yes β€” 100% First Article Inspection is standard on every new production run, included at no extra charge. Every dimension, GD&T callout, and material specification on your drawing is measured and documented before mass production begins.

What standards do you follow?

We follow ISO, ASTM, and customer-specific standards. Our metrology lab operates at 20Β°C per ISO 1 reference temperature. Inspection plans are built around your drawing specifications and applicable industry standards.

Can we audit your metrology lab?

Yes β€” customer and third-party audits are welcome. Our climate-controlled, dust-free metrology lab is purpose-built and ready for audit at any time. We regularly host OEM and tier-1 quality audits.

Do you inspect every part?

First Article Inspection is 100% β€” every feature on every first article. Production runs are inspected per AQL sampling plan (commonly AQL 1.0 or 2.5), or 100% inspection can be arranged on request for critical applications.
