Precision Measurement

Non-contact optical gauging at micron resolution

Sub-pixel edge detection and calibrated optical systems deliver repeatable measurements for tight-tolerance components demanding ISO-compliant quality documentation.

What we do

Our precision measurement systems use high-resolution Baumer cameras with calibrated optics and sub-pixel interpolation to achieve repeatable measurements down to ±1 micron on critical dimensions.

Every system is calibrated against NIST-traceable standards and includes automated pass/fail decision logic with full measurement data logging for ISO 9001 compliance and statistical process control.

Applications range from automotive bearing diameters and electronic connector pin pitch to medical device dimensional verification — all at production line speeds.

Measurement capabilities

  • Linear dimensions: diameter, length, width, height
  • Geometric tolerances: roundness, flatness, concentricity
  • Angular measurement & thread pitch verification
  • Edge-to-edge gap & flushness on assemblies
  • Coordinate measurement (2D, multiple datum points)

Technical approach

Reliable optical measurement depends on precise hardware calibration, robust edge detection algorithms, and careful environmental control.

🎯

Sub-pixel edge detection

Advanced interpolation algorithms locate edges to 1/40th pixel resolution, yielding ±1 micron repeatability with standard industrial cameras and optics.

📏

NIST-traceable calibration

Each station is calibrated with certified reference artifacts. Field re-calibration kits allow users to verify accuracy on schedule without external service calls.

💡

Structured illumination

Engineered lighting — backlight, dark field, or coaxial — emphasizes the measurement feature while suppressing ambient variation and part surface finish.

📊

SPC data integration

Every measurement is logged with a timestamp, part ID, and operator. Real-time control charts and Cp/Cpk reporting feed directly into your quality system.
