Precise tactile measurements using a coordinate measuring machine
CMM measurements are a service for companies that need to precisely verify the dimensions, geometry and conformity of parts with technical documentation.
At SGP Quality Lab, we perform precise tactile measurements that make it possible to confirm whether a given component meets design, quality and production requirements. This solution is particularly important when not only the result itself matters, but also its repeatability and the possibility of using it in further technical analysis.
When is it worth carrying out CMM measurements?
CMM measurements are suitable wherever reliable dimensional inspection of a part is required.
The service is useful, among others, for:
- first article inspection,
- checking parts after production,
- verifying components from suppliers,
- analyzing dimensional non-conformities,
- inspecting parts after design or process changes,
- preparing quality documentation,
- confirming conformity with a technical drawing.
What types of parts can be measured?
CMM measurements can be used to inspect various types of components, including those with complex geometry that require precise dimensional verification.
The service may include, among others:
- CNC-machined parts,
- mechanical components,
- housings,
- plastic components,
- stamped parts,
- production parts,
- components used in industry, automotive and electronics.
What can be checked?
The measurement scope is selected according to the technical documentation, type of part and purpose of the inspection.
As part of the service, it is possible to verify, among others:
- linear dimensions,
- diameters,
- radii,
- distances between features,
- hole positions,
- flatness,
- parallelism,
- perpendicularity,
- concentricity,
- selected geometric characteristics indicated in the documentation.
What does CMM measurement provide?
Confirmation of part conformity
Measurements help verify whether a component meets the requirements specified in the technical documentation and can be released for the next stage of production, assembly or delivery.
High data accuracy
The service provides precise information about the dimensions and geometry of the part, making it easier to make quality and technical decisions.
Repeatability of inspection
A repeatable measurement method allows results to be compared between series, production batches or suppliers.
Support in non-conformity analysis
Measurement data helps determine more quickly where a problem occurs and whether its source is the part, production process, supplier or design change.
Documentation for further actions
Measurement results can support complaints, quality approvals, audits, corrective actions and optimization of the production process.
What does the service process look like?
1. Sending an inquiry
The client provides information about the part, technical documentation and the purpose of the measurement.
2. Defining the scope
We determine which features are to be checked and in what form the results should be presented.
3. Performing the measurement
We carry out a precise tactile measurement in accordance with the agreed scope.
4. Processing the results
We prepare measurement data in a form useful for the quality, production, technology or engineering department.
5. Delivering the results
The client receives results that can be used in the quality control process, complaints, part approval or further technical analysis.
Who is this service for?
CMM measurements are intended for companies that need precise, repeatable and documented dimensional inspection of parts.
The service is most often used by:
- quality departments,
- production departments,
- technology departments,
- engineering departments,
- component suppliers,
- manufacturing companies,
- companies carrying out implementation or complaint-related projects.
