We Have Installed a New Automated CMM to Enhance Quality Control

June 16, 2026

We are pleased to announce the installation of a new automated Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) at our facility. This investment significantly enhances our quality inspection capabilities, ensuring that every precision‑machined part meets the tightest tolerances and highest quality standards.

Why We Invested in Automated CMM

As we continue to serve industries with demanding quality requirements — including automotive, medical devices, robotics, and aerospace — the need for faster, more accurate, and fully traceable inspection has grown. Our new automated CMM addresses these needs by providing:

  • Higher measurement accuracy – Down to sub‑micron resolution

  • Faster inspection cycles – Automated probing reduces manual measurement time

  • Full dimensional reporting – Detailed reports for every inspected feature

  • Consistent, operator‑independent results – Programmable routines eliminate human error

Key Features of Our New CMM

Feature

Benefit



Automated probe head

Multi‑angle measurements without repositioning

Temperature‑controlled operation

Stable accuracy regardless of shop floor conditions

CAD‑based programming

Direct measurement comparison to 3D models

Full traceability

Complete inspection records for every batch

How This Benefits Our Customers

  • Tighter tolerances verified – We can confidently hold and prove tolerances down to ±0.005 mm

  • Faster delivery – Reduced inspection bottlenecks mean shorter lead times

  • Full documentation – CMM reports available with every shipment

  • Early problem detection – In‑process inspections catch issues before they become costly

Integration with Our Quality Management System

The new CMM is fully integrated into our ISO 9001‑certified quality management system. It is used for:

  • First article inspection (FAI) – Verifying the first part against all drawing specifications

  • In‑process sampling – Regular checks during production runs

  • Final outgoing inspection – 100% inspection for critical dimensions

  • Batch certification – Complete inspection records for lot traceability

Commitment to Zero Defects

“Quality is not just a department — it’s part of every process we run,” said our quality manager. “This new CMM gives us the confidence to guarantee that every part leaving our facility meets our customers’ exact specifications.”

We invite engineers and procurement professionals to discuss their quality requirements with us. For critical applications requiring full inspection documentation, our new CMM capability ensures you receive the data you need.
