CNC Machining

Dimensional Measurement Report

  • Detailed measurements of components, ensuring adherence to specified dimensions and tolerances
  • Comprehensive report demonstrating thorough inspection procedures, guaranteeing accuracy and consistency in product dimensions
  • Useful tool for identifying any discrepancies in dimensions, enabling swift resolution of manufacturing issues

CMM Measurement Report

  • Detailed dimensional and geometrical measurements of components, ensuring adherence to specified dimensional and geometrical tolerances  
  • Comprehensive report demonstrating thorough inspection procedures, guaranteeing accuracy and consistency in product dimensions and geometries 
  • Best applicable if several points need to be measured with high precision  
  • Lead times can be longer compared to 3D scans 

Dimensions are measured directly on the part with a coordinate measurement machine. During the process, a highly sensitive tactile sensor is brought into contact with the contour of the surface of the part. Any number of coordinate data points can be measured with the sensor and are subsequently sent to a computer where they are processed, compared to the digital design file, and visualized in a report. The slightest deviations between the actual part and the drawing specifications can be detected.

Surface Roughness Measurement Reports

  • Surface roughness measurement quantifies the texture and irregularities of a material’s surface, ensuring it meets required smoothness standards and aesthetic criteria. 
  • By accurately measuring surface roughness, we can identify deviations from desired surface profiles, enabling corrective actions to maintain product quality. 
  • It helps optimize component performance by ensuring proper friction, wear resistance, and adhesion characteristics, leading to improved functionality and longevity. 

Additive Manufacturing

Optical 3D Scan

  • Measurement of dimensional part properties using high-quality stereo cameras
  • Best applicable for the measurement of free-form surfaces and contours
  • Ideal for quick lead times

Through optical 3D scanning, a digital twin of the physical part is generated which can be compared to the original design geometry or inspected digitally for dimensional properties.

  • Point distance: 0.03 – 0.12
  • Points per scan: 12 million
  • Measuring area: (100 x 70) – (500 x 370)
  • Measuring volumes: 100, 170, 270, 350, 500
With our 3D optical scan option, you receive a report comparing the dimensional properties of the physical to your design intent/file. You further receive the optical twin of the physical part viewable and measurable in the free GOM Inspect Viewer.

Tensile/Density Test

  • Thorough evaluation of material strength through tensile testing, providing crucial insights into the part’s performance and durability
  • Detailed analysis of material density, ensuring consistency and uniformity across manufacturing batches
  • Benchmarking against industry standards to verify product integrity

Surface Roughness

  • Measurement of the roughness of a part’s surface using a sensitive stylus
  • Applied when knowledge on the statistical deviations of a surface from its ideal form in the direction of the normal vector is required

The surface roughness measurement is performed according to DIN ISO 4287, where a sharp stylus’ tip is dragged over up to 50mm on one of the part’s surfaces. The excursion of the stylus is sensitive to the heights and valleys that are passed. This allows for the measurement of the heights and valleys along path. The measurement result is displayed immediately and extrapolated to the entire surface such that common roughness metrics such as RZ are computed.

  • Evaluation length: 0.1 to 50 mm
  • Straightness accuracy: 0,3 µm / auf 50 mm/li>
  • Measurement speed: 0.15 to 1 mm/s/li>

With our surface roughness option, you receive a report including the heights and valleys profile along a path of up to 50mm on one surface of the part and the accordingly computed Rz and Ra values in accordance with DIN ISO 4287.

Computer Tomography

  • Measurement of internal material properties using computed tomography scanner
  • Applied when the manufactured part’s internal material properties of interest must be checked against defects, build errors, pores, inclusions or voids

The measured part is placed between an X-ray emitter and an X-Ray detector. The part is illuminated with X-ray beams of known power from different angles. The X-ray detector on the other side measures the attenuation of the emitted beam in the direct line of the emission as well as the scattered light. The process is re-iterated for various layers and from various directions. The data is processed through tomographic reconstruction to obtain the cross-sectional view of the part in virtual slices.

  • Precision: up to 4µm (125 lp / mm)
  • Number of pixels: up to 3072 x 3072
  • Max measuring area (diameter x height): Optimized for diameter (770 x 1350), Optimized for height (615 x 1500)
  • Maximum part weight: 50 kg

With our computer tomography option you receive the full 3D tomographic data of the part for inspection in associated software (e.g. GOM Volume), three pass-through videos along the Cartesian axes, and an expert report highlighting any abnormalities (e.g. defects, build errors, pores, inclusions or voids).
