“As we continue to build the LK Metrology brand here in North America, it is important that we provide a complete range of CMM products and services in our served markets, which include aerospace, domestic appliance, automotive, off-highway, medical, defence, plastics and commercial products,” says Brian Samson, managing director of LK Metrology’s North American operations.
“The department is offering CMM dimensional inspection for all types of precision engineered components, manufactured parts and assemblies, while our metrology services team is providing the needed consultancy and training for customers all over the continent,” he continues. “As the lab is certified to ISO17025 for calibration services, we can certify the CMMs used for contract services. We are focused on working with customer quality teams to provide the most comprehensive measurement services available.”
Overall measurement volumes within the facility extend up to 2.5 x 2 m, via LK SCANtek5, Altera M and Altera C CMMs, as well as a soon-to-be-installed larger 25.15.12 Altera M. A broad range of CMM probes and sensors are also available, including Renishaw SP25M scanning probes, a Revo2 5-axis multi-sensor system, an SP80 high-accuracy scanning head and Nikon Metrology L100 and LC 15Dx laser scanners.
The services on offer will encompass CMM dimensional inspection for complex geometries, freeform surfaces, thin-walled parts, 2D/3D profiles, reverse engineering and non-contact scanning, with LK providing full dimensional inspection, first-article inspection, series inspection, analysis and investigation, process capability studies, and SPC.
