Hornet Precision Engineering Ltd is pleased to announce the installation of a new Hexagon Global S 575 coordinate measuring machine (CMM) at our facility in South Leicestershire.
The new CMM, running Hexagon’s PC-DMIS software, gives us in-house capability to carry out fast, highly accurate dimensional inspection on the components we machine, rather than relying on manual gauging or sending parts out for third-party measurement. It measures to a volumetric accuracy of a few microns, well within the tolerances typically called up on precision-machined parts, and covers a large enough working envelope to handle everything from small turned components to larger 5-axis milled parts.
Bringing CMM inspection in-house means we can run first-off checks and in-process inspection without adding to lead time, and produce first article inspection reports (FAIR) for customers who need them on new or revised parts. It also gives us full digital traceability, so inspection data and material certification can be provided alongside a delivery whenever it’s required.
The investment strengthens the inspection behind everything we make, from prototype and low-volume work through to established production parts for sectors including motorsport, defence and general engineering.
If you’d like to discuss a project, or would like to see the new CMM in action, get in touch at sales@hornetprecision.co.uk or 07549 406 901.
