CMM Inspection
How it Works
A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a 3D measurement and capturing device. It is used to measure the geometrical properties of an object and produces a 3D CAD file when scanning is complete. This device can be either manually or automatically. Measurements are determined by a laser probe, which can be attached to a third axis of the machine. It can also be a handheld device.
What Proto3000 Provides
Full Dimensional Inspection (PPAP):
The Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) is a requirement of all automobile manufacturers and similar industrial manufacturers for outside parts manufacturers and suppliers. This process must be completed, submitted and approved before the part production begins.
Checking Fixtures and Gauges Calibration and Certification:
A valuable part of Metrology is the process of checking fixtures, gauge calibration and certification. Variable or Attribute checking fixtures need to be verified and certified before they get to be used in production. Checking fixtures and gauges needs to be measured for verification and certification at least once a year. All fixture and gauges are certified under ISO/IEC 17025:2005
First Article Inspection:
Before production begins, Part Inspection is used to ensure it is appropriate to the customer’s specification right from the beginning.
2D and 3D Scanning (Digitizing):
We can generate 2D and 3D part scanning, drawing or CAD, this is particularly important where non-prismatic, complex, free-form or organic geometry exists. We use one of the most accurate analog scanning probes in the industry – SP600M.
Prototype Inspection:
We create Pre-production prototype inspection for all purposes.
Tooling Inspection:
Pre-production tooling inspection and tool rework verification.
Reverse Engineering:
Digitizing and Reverse Engineering Services from Part to CAD model, using our advance analog scanning probe – SP600M.
Capability Studies (SPC):
Statistical Process Control is the statistical analysis of measurement data collected from the manufacturing process to determining its viability and making educated corrections to a process.
Contract Programming:
On Site CMM Programming and Off Line CMM Programming.
Customized Reporting:
Customized report as per customer request.
3rd Party Independent Laboratory Dispute Resolution:
Occasionally disputes arise between the supplier and customer. Right or wrong we will get to the root of the problem. Our inspection is performed by highly professional and experienced professionals that will present you with the most accurate and detailed reports and road maps, that are easy to read and to resolve your dispute quickly and effectively.
