Metrology, powered by technology
Detailed and portable 3D inspection for every industry
In engineering and manufacturing, precision and accuracy is everything.
Having access to pioneering measurement technology is key to maximizing efficiency and productivity, ensuring you’re working with the best data available to carry out projects.
At CMS, we combine expertise and professionalism with industry-beating 3D inspection equipment to bring our clients the highest level of precision measurement on the market today. Our results help businesses and projects of all shapes and sizes harness those figures to refine the way they work, ensuring better levels of proficiency with quicker, and more robust results.
State-of-the-art gear for solid data
Every CMS inspection is carried out using the internationally-recognized Faro Laser Tracker and Faro Arm, equipment trusted at the highest level of manufacturing and engineering for their watertight performance on an array of jobs.
The portable Faro Laser Tracker enables us to carry out large-scale 3D measurements on most, if not all engineering projects, reducing inspection cycle periods and giving you more time to focus on the bigger picture. This tracker makes use of a range of technology innovations to lock onto targets in seconds, featuring dynamic searching, a CMM machine and compatibility with a range of probing solutions.
We use the tracker with the Faro Arm to offer a comprehensive inspection view, granting a complete 6-degrees-of-freedom feature. This device allows us to provide a full scan of your concepts and your engineering equipment, leaving no stone unturned in our approach to precision measurements. This flexible arm can take your view around corners and through holes and arches, providing as broad a 3D overview as you can get.
What we can do
We’re here to help you go further with your work – our in-depth service list includes:
- Dimensional Inspection – As an engineer, you’ll know how important it is to get accurate measurements for your prototypes and components. Our dimensional inspection service works to give you a complete picture of your manufacturing product, providing a 3D image informed by deep attention to detail, powered by modern technology.
- Machine alignment – Machine alignment is a crucial process in manufacturing. Misalignment with rotating equipment can cause disruption, wasting your time, money and resources. We offer a dedicated machine alignment service, using our technology to hone in on any issues which can be fixed, improving the efficiency of the equipment and guaranteeing a longer lifespan.
- Level to gravity – Adjusting a part to be level to gravity is a sure-fire way of preventing any problems, especially for tackling unique challenges on fixtures with unique requirements. The Faro arm and tracker allow us to provide you with sharp and in-detail data to give you the context you need to make level-to-gravity adjustments.
- Reverse engineering – Reverse engineering is a key path to developing 3D cad models and drawings from existing parts and assemblies. Our powerful 3D inspections help you cut straight to the chase, assessing and developing a picture of any component or assembly to help you use metrology to your competitive advantage.
- CAD to part inspecting – Our abilities and our technology allow us to take your parts and components and compare them with their initial CAD designs. We’ll handle each level of the inspection process, capturing a full 3D image to compare with the original design, targets and design of the computer-aided/generated plans.
- Non-contact scanning – On occasion and with certain kinds of parts, non-contact scanning is a necessity, using advanced scanning equipment that can efficiently collect information without having to connect to time-consuming points of contact. Our Faro equipment gives us everything we need to carry out non-contact scanning at the highest level.
