Our touchless data collection technologies include: Industrial computed tomography (CT) scanning, White Light and Blue Light Structured Light Scanning, Short and Long Range Laser Scanning, X-ray, Vision System Inspection and Confocal White Light Sensor Scanning (CFS). Each of these systems do not require physical contact with the part and each has strengths over the others in data collection time, accuracy, material suitability. Our engineers have been taught how to select the right technology for your needs. They can even use combinations of multiple technologies together to give you the best selection of quality and cost.
We utilize all of the common touch systems including fixed and portable coordinate measuring machines (CMM and PCMM), hand micrometers and gages, digital height gages, pins, gage blocks, and AA pink granite surface plates. Just because these are the older traditional measurement methods does not imply inferiority to the touchless variety. In fact, these touch systems are generally more accurate and better suited for certain measurements.
CAPCP Engineering is able to handle measurements of any size from tiny endoscopic surgical components to bridges, ships and buildings! We will carefully tailor your inspection project to meet your print tolerance requirements using good metrology practices.
The metrology software we use to analyze the data is the best that is available and includes: Innovmetrics PolyWorks, Zeiss Calypso and PC-DMIS. Each of these tools has their advantages, weaknesses and measurement assumptions. Our skilled engineers know how to apply each to take advantage of their strengths. Programming services are available.
We also provide training services in any of the metrology areas we have proficiency in. This includes data collection, metrology methods and reporting. Our training is often superior to the OEMs training in that we do not train to a manual with example parts that always work correctly each time, but rather use your prints, equipment and actual parts. We have found that this ensures a higher level of training in the students as they can directly relate their learning to their current work requirements.
We offer dimensional inspection, scan to CAD model comparison, First Article Inspection (FAI), Production Part Approval Process Inspection (PPAP), capability studies, gage dimensional verification, part programming and Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (GR&R) studies. Generally, our customers already know which of these services are required for their needs. If you have a new measurement requirement or application, we can also make recommendations on what is needed for your project. You will gain from our depth of background in providing these services to many industries over the years.
You may be looking for a metrology services provider because your internal staff and equipment is fully booked with production needs and they are unable to complete your inspection requirements in a timely manner. Or you do not yet possess one of our many inspection technologies that are required for a specific project. Alternatively, your customer may have a requirement for a certified 3rd party inspection. In any of these cases, CAPCP Engineering can satisfy your needs. Because of the extensive cross training of our engineers, we can also provide 24/7 dimensional inspection for small to large quantities of components in any of our covered technologies.
Because anyone can purchase equipment and show data, you will want to hire an independently certified and audited inspection service that can provide your internal and external customers with confidence in the results provided. We live out our moto of ‘Measuring and Modeling Quality’. Our friendly, well trained and efficient engineering staff is eager to meet your dimensional metrology needs. Please trust us with your critical dimensional inspection needs today!
