metrology

Metrology, as the science of measurement, attempts to validate the data obtained from test equipment. Metrology in practical applications, is the enforcement and validation of predefined standards for precision, accuracy, traceability, and reliability. These standards can vary widely, but are often mandated by governments, agencies, and treaties such as the International Organization for Standardization, the Metre Convention, or the FDA. These agencies promulgate policies and regulations that standardise industries, countries, and streamline international trade, products, and measurements. Metrology is, at its core, an analysis of the uncertainty of individual measurements, and attempts to validate each measurement made with a given instrument and the data obtained from it.

The dissemination of traceability to the Production Parts' customers is performed by our dedicated metrology/calibration department using our globally recognised quality system which is compliant to international standards. A central requirement of these accreditations is documented traceability to national or international standards.

Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) are mechanical systems designed to move a measuring probe to determine coordinates of points on a work piece surface. CMMs are comprised of four main components: the machine itself, the measuring probe, the control or computing system, and the measuring software. Common applications for CMMs include dimensional measurement, profile measurement, angularity or orientation, depth mapping, digitising or imaging, and shaft measurement. Features common to CMMs include crash protection, offline programming, reverse engineering, shop floor suitability, SPC software and temperature compensation.

At Production Parts, our metrology team use CMMs as vital tools in the manufacturing process, enabling precision metrology for inspection and process control. â
