On-Site Calibrations
Whilst all calibrations listed in the scope can be carried out in the laboratory, some calibrations are best carried out on-site, saving time and minimising production downtime. Calibrated and certified Laboratory equipment and documented procedures are used for all on-site calibrations, giving the client a valid, traceable calibration result.
Items calibrated on-site include: Micrometers, Callipers, DTI's, Height Gauges, Surface Plates, Optical Projectors, Co-Ordinate Measuring Machines and Machine Tools.
CMM Measurement Service
METCAL provides a 3 dimensional measurement and reverse engineering service using a high accuracy ABERLINK CMM. The measuring machine is housed in a temperature and humidity controlled environment of 20ºC ±0.5ºC and relative humidity 55% ±10%. Measurement volume is 400mm x 500mm x 600mm with capacity in the Y axis extending to 3000mm using special stepping techniques. The CMM is utilised for inspecting jigs and fixtures used in jet engine overhaul, complex components, and plastic mould cavities.
Refurbishment
A refurbishment facility is offered for items such as angle plates, vee blocks, engineers parallels, squares, straightedges, engineers levels, angle gauges, jigs, fixtures and most types of aircraft and jet engine tooling. The laboratory also specialises in the repair, adjustment and calibration of Computerised Height Gauges manufactured by Eley Metrology, Trimos and Tesa.
