Improving measurement certainty in calibration
MECH Metrology has improved measurement certainty by 50 per cent with the Trimos Horizon Premium Length Measuring machine from Bowers Group Based in Fareham, MECH Metrology and
B
owers Group has supplied MECH Metrology with a Trimos Horizon Premium Length Measuring machine
which has increased their capacity for inhouse calibration services, and improved certainty of measurement by 50 per cent. In addition to enabling the business to calibrate plug gauges traceable to UKAS standards, the Trimos Horizon Premium is used to calibrate a variety of equipment including thread, plug and ring gauges, plain plug gauges and plain ring gauges.
Mech Metrology is now able to test screw
ring gauges and internal threads in house, a job that would have been previously subcontracted out. The Trimos Horizon Premium has also improved MECH Metrology’s output, as well as significantly increasing the efficiency of the calibration process. Russell Johnston, owner of MECH Metrology,
said: “There are three key reasons why we chose to invest in the. Trimos Horizon Premium; capability, capacity and accuracy. We can now calibrate more equipment in house than ever, at an even higher level of accuracy. In fact, I would estimate that the Trimos has improved our certainty of measurement by 50 per cent. Speed of process has also improved significantly, so we can get more work done in less time.”
Power Tools has been in business for over 26 years as a one-stop-shop for metrology equipment and calibration services. In addition to supplying businesses with quality branded metrology products to meet customers’ gauging, tooling, and measurement needs, MECH Metrology also offers a fully traceable calibration and repair service. “Customers are increasingly looking for a one stop solution which we can offer with confidence” explains Johnston “Following a request from a customer, we simply take the item off the shelf and send it straight into the lab for calibration before it goes out the door. It’s a perfectly streamlined process. Our calibration management system ensures that equipment is recalled for calibration in a timely manner, customers have access to online certification information, and all data is electronically held.” The need for quality control is an essential activity in most businesses, so it is important to have effective calibration processes in operation. The ability to perform accurate measurements on a consistent basis can only be achieved if instruments used are periodically calibrated to designated standards. MECH Metrology recognises the importance of being able to offer a cost effective and comprehensive calibration service to all its clients, and have many customers that benefit from calibration management services. As part of its ongoing investment in people and equipment, MECH Metrology is always looking for ways to improve and refine its services. After the business received a number of regular calibration requests that had to be sub- contracted out, MECH Metrology decided to invest in the equipment that would ensure they could carry out the requests in-house, therefore improving services and calibration turn- around times. Previously using an older generation Trimos THV Mini Horizontal, MECH Metrology decided it was time for an upgrade, which Bowers Group
were more than happy to provide. As a top of the range model designed for workshop or laboratory use, the
Trimos Horizon Premium Length Measuring Machine is ideal for the control and calibration of measuring instruments with
