CMM Inspection

Summit has recently invested in expanding its CMM department. Five manual CMM arms now complete work ranging from validation reports for each of Summit’s gauge checking fixtures, to capability studies on aerospace castings. We have 2 fully automated CMM arms and 1 automated bridge CMM for the measurement and validation of car interior parts and castings. Measurement size capability is from IP centre consoles to the smallest door liner trim. We are also able to offer a full on or offsite scanning facility using a portable scanning arm. Summit has 30 years experience in delivering Blue Line dimensional checks and full FAIR validation on Aerospace, Marine and MOD castings.

The inspection department currently offers the following:

  • CMM measurement up to a measuring envelope 6000mm X 3000mm X 1800mm
  • Programmable for multi-part inspection for speed and comparison checking
  • The machines have a manual indexing, Renishaw probing head with a TP20 probe sensor to allow full flexibility when measuring
  • Utilization of Power inspect and PC-DMIS measuring software that will measure several formats of 2D and 3D data including IGES and CATIA
  • The software allows users to create customised reports
  • Fully flexible digitising and scanning facility
  • Capacity for reverse engineering
  • Highly secure and isolated location of studio to allow complete confidentiality
  • Spacious studio and experienced staff to deliver fast inspection
  • R Studies
  • R & R Studies
  • Capability Studies
  • Check parts directly from CAD data, or from 2D drawings, castings etc.
  • S.I.R
  • CRT Doc inspection
