CMMs in Position to Write Inspection Programmes
01 Jan 2005
The addition of two co-ordinate measurement machines (CMMs) at facilities in Nottingham and Derby, of East Midlands calibration experts, EMICS, position the company for new business in the aero industry. Representing a total investment of some £100,000, the two machines will enable EMICS to write inspection programmes for aerospace industry components, amongst others.
The aviation industry CMM inspection programme written by EMICS allows an engine manufacturer to individually measure turbine blades to within critical tolerances. Each and every component must be accurately measured and tested before being allowed into the supply chain, and the expertise to write the CMM programmes is not often held in-house.
Simon Moss, managing director of EMICS, commented: "More and more OEMs in the civil and military aviation and other engineering fields are looking for this level of external capability, and EMICS is now well positioned to develop further CMM inspection programmes for other applications."
