EML Calibration’s Dimensional Inspection Process

EML Calibration’s dimensional inspection process focuses on achieving superior quality through precise measuring, comprehensive scanning, and meticulous reporting aligned with your quality and engineering requirements. Below is an outline explaining the workflow of this process:

1. Initial Equipment Assessment and Preparation

Prior to starting inspections, our engineering experts assess your gage, scanners, and associated equipment slated for use. This evaluation ensures compliance by confirming that all measurement instruments are calibrated under ISO/IEC 17025 and traceable to NIST, maintaining audit and certification eligibility.

2. Advanced Scanning and Measuring Techniques

By employing advanced scanning technologies alongside dimensional inspection equipment like high-definition surface scanners and three-dimensional measuring instruments, EML Calibration provides detailed part evaluations. Such scanners obtain exact surface profiles to uncover dimensional variances or irregularities with micrometer precision.

Our scanning techniques include contact and non-contact methods, offering versatile solutions for multiple surface varieties. Our engineering professionals integrate these scans with CAD-based inspection services, allowing rapid comparison between physical parts and design files in real time.

3. Calibration Services Support for Inspection Equipment

Regular calibration services are performed on all measuring equipment and scanning devices either in our lab or through on-site calibration to maintain measurement accuracy and consistency. This maintenance is logged in your calibration program, supported by our asset management platform, which integrates seamlessly with CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management Systems). Such integration minimizes downtime and keeps instruments fully compliant with required calibration schedules.
