Metparts, a Leicester-based manufacturing company, operates under two brands: Sewsystems, which produces bonding, ultrasonic, and specialized textile machinery, and Metparts, which offers subcontracting services including on-demand CNC machining, engineering design, manufacture, and parts assembly.
Easy to use Deltron Solution Solves the Problem
Metparts are committed to delivering the highest quality engineered products to the maximum accuracy both for their subcontract customers and internally for their Sewsystems range. Their requirements are for an easy-to-use measurement system that can be used by multiple users to measure internal and external dimensions to a high degree of accuracy and create a measurement report for internal QA records and for the customer. Having received a measurement solution from Optimax previously, Met Parts were confident in their purchase of the Deltron system.
Significant impact to inspect small and large objects
The Deltron CNC coordinate measuring machine has been highly beneficial to MetParts due to its flexibility and compact footprint. It is robust, accurate, and stable, thanks to its delta mechanism and carbon fibre construction, along with user-friendly software. The system offers automated 3-axis CNC control, ambient temperature compensation, and a measurement volume of up to 520mm dia. x 300mm high. Its ease of use has allowed multiple technicians to operate it effectively, making it a routine part of operations. This has significantly improved the reliability of measurements, providing printed results instead of subjective manual gauge readings.
