Our Inspection Department has a Globo Co-ordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) capable of measuring components up to 4m in length in the X axis to 0.004mm accuracy.

The Y axis allows components of 1.2m wide and is accurate to 0.002mm. The Z axis will allow components 1.8m tall to be measured, accurate to 0.002mm.

The machine is fitted with a Renishaw Head and various probes giving the capability of measuring most dimensions without the need to turn the component. This allows a far faster Inspection Process.

Although the machine is capable of measuring very large components to incredible accuracy, it is still happy measuring small components with an accuracy of 0.002mm. For larger batches, automatic inspection can be used as the machine will store the dimensions and will then check all components to the same measurements once a datum has been identified.

The CMM Software allows a full range of reporting including Deviation Reporting, Dimensional Printouts and a full Certificate of Conformity is available on request.

William A. Lewis Engineering Ltd has achieved BS EN ISO 9001:2000 Certificate 7167 Valid to 18 March 2010.
