Quality Control Improves with CMM Technology

The Fab Masters team has been busy in 2010. To make room for the LK Metris G-90C last month, we relocated some offices and removed walls in our Quality Lab 2. With larger production runs and higher quality standards in mind, Fab Masters purchased another co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM).

Fab Masters’ current quality operations include the use of a portable ROMER arm, which is a manual device. The new LK G-90C, however, is automatic. It measures the part from the same point every time, using an XYZ grid similar to that of a CNC to determine a position on the worktable. By utilizing its programmable software, Fab Masters quality staff can adequately inspect parts in less time. The LK CAMIO software allows development of programming inspection routines directly from CAD models, running off-line so as not to disrupt operations of the CMM.

The LK G-90C takes Fab Masters’ Quality Department to the next level by facilitating faster inspection times and higher accuracy. Its automation will help quality staff be more productive.

In this day and age, the Fab Masters team does not consider this investment in CMM technology to be a luxury, but essential to win and retain business.
