Equipment

• CMM: Our CMM machine utilizes an innovative moving-bridge type machine structure, providing high motion stability to take advantage of the increased scanning speed of this model, and high accuracy. In addition to point-to-point measurement, the MPP-310Q and Mitutoyo Laser probes provide a contact/non-contact scanning function.

• Oasis Optical Inspection System: The Oasis works by utilizing an LED light source to collimate precise rays through a series of specially designed diffusers and lenses that shine across the part to be inspected. That image is then captured by a very specific telocentric optical lens, which results in a perfect monochrome profile of the inspected part. The part profile is then digitally captured with a specially designed camera system and transferred to the custom onboard computer where the software does the rest. The image is analyzed and measurement data is displayed on-screen. The Oasis operates by casting a “Shadow” of a part to be inspected and capturing that image in a digital format to be analyzed by an on-board computer. The powerful software behind the scenes converts the captured image into real dimensional data that measures the part to an accuracy of ±.0001 inches!
