Quality at FME

Quality made visible. Magnified 1000 times if need be.

Inspection, documentation and evidence for demanding precision parts.

What we inspect

Our metrology supports quality inspection of relevant characteristics and traceable documentation of the results.

Dimensions and geometry

Dimensions, positions and spatial relationships.

Bores and diameters

Whether the dimension lies within tolerance.

Surfaces

Contours, roughness and functional features.

Fine structures

Micro-geometries and the finest details.

Customer-specific features

Inspection concepts matched to the application.

Our measuring machines

How we inspect. With care, but not by gut feeling.

The inspection method is matched to the part, its function and the measurement task.

  • Probe ball of a coordinate measuring machine on a milled aluminium part, the gantry behind it
    Hexagon · Mitutoyo

    Tactile measurement

    The measuring machine and the height gauge touch the part with a probe.

  • Measuring head of an optical measuring system above a turned part on the lit glass stage
    Keyence

    Optical measurement

    A camera and light measure without touching the part.

  • Stylus of a profile measuring instrument on the turned surface of a shaft held in a vice
    Mitutoyo

    Surface inspection

    A fine stylus records the profile of the surface.

  • Lens of a digital microscope just above a small turned steel part
    Keyence

    Microscopy

    The microscope magnifies the finest details on the part.

  • Plug gauge in the bore of a milled aluminium part, two ring gauges beside it
    Bores and diameters

    Gauges

    The dimension fits or it does not.

Evidence

Documentation. Because «it fitted» is not an inspection report.

Inspection reports

Inspection reports to the agreed inspection scope.

Documented features

The tolerances that carry the function are in the inspection report, with actual values.

Agreed inspection plans

We agree the inspection scope as early as possible.

Traceable results

The results are documented.

Quality begins before manufacturing. Not just at measuring.

Requirements, documentation and inspection scope are aligned as early as possible.
