Services

As part of a fully equipped quality lab, Precise Dimensional Inspection utilizes multiple systems to provide accurate, precise measurements. These measurements include third party inspection (in-process or final), first article inspections, capability studies, and quality engineering.  CMM inspection is commonplace amongst precision machine shops. Very few shops, however, have the expertise and technology to offer reliable third party inspection. CMMs inspect part dimensions for location and/or accuracy. Parts can be fixtured or rotated to inspect dimensions that may be difficult to reach.

Dimensional Inspection Services: More than Just Measurement

Dimensional Inspection, also called Dimensional Metrology, assesses the geometric characteristics of machined parts and products to verify their compliance with design specifications. Dimensional inspection services ensure the accuracy of the product features that can affect reliability and functionality. With the ever-increasing influx of automation in the manufacturing industry, the process of prioritizing accurate measurements is needed now more than ever to ensure that products are not only being manufactured on time, but that production is repeatedly accurate. In this continuous, rapid-paced environment, time is becoming an even more valuable commodity, making the time-saving information provided by dimensional inspection an increasing necessity.

At PDI, simplified, dimensional inspection can be seen as the process for comparing what an object actually is to what it is supposed to be, and uses quantifiable values to measure virtually any physical characteristics such as:

• Length, width, and height.
• Angles and perpendicularity.
• Roundness, flatness, and other geometric characteristics.
• Position.
• Shape profiles.
• Surface characteristics.
• Edge sharpness.
• Thickness and uniformity.
