                              • Just over 50 years ago, LK Metrology delivered its first coordinate measuring system into the aircraft engine industry. The system featured several firsts in the metrology industry. Not only was the CMM the state-of-the-art technology for 1969, the system also featured a mini-computer with in-house written inspection software. Together with the Customer, LK Metrology went on to develop the first ever touch-trigger probe. In the years following, it went on to become the industry standard. These innovation are still being marketed worldwide today. Today, LK Metrology is one of the foremost suppliers to the Aircraft and Aerospace industries, providing efficient and absolute accuracy at all the major OEMs for propulsion systems as well as critical structural components and panels.

                              • Biomedical

                              • Medical devices are extremely critical to produce to exacting standards. Reproducible, traceable examination and dimensional measurement of key items to specified tolerances play a major role in ensuring the reliable and repeatable performance required. Due to the high item cost, it is imperative to avoid rejection of lots or batches. The quality of raw material and components also needs to be certified prior to release from incoming inspection in order to provide a complete audit trail for regulatory purposes. Among the main customer requirements, we have experienced the need to avoid destructive testing of expensive prototypes and unique implants, reduction of lengthy dimensional inspection processes of complex shapes with comparison to CAD and the performance of automated measurements for high volume production. Another added benefit from the LK Metrology product portfolio is high performance reverse engineering supported by the application of non-contact laser scanning. For some medical components, such as knee or hip implants and hearing aids, the shape of the component is crucial for fast patient recovery and maximum comfort. LK Metrology‘s software and sensor solutions are a well established benchmark in this specialty segment.

                              • Energy And Power

                              • In a time when power and energy are of crucial necessity to the development of the current level of technology, this segment has become of strategic interest to both the developed and devloping nations. Quality and efficiency are of extreme interest where in most cases this sector involves the production of extremely critical components in terms of precision and cost. Other than the well tested traditional ways of generating energy and power, interest has grown in renewable energy projects where the accurate dimensional inspection of components ensure these products are produced to the high-quality standards desired. Windpower generation towers, turbine blades, turbo chargers, impellers, hydraulic pumps, compressor screws and numerous other components require dimensional verification using technologies such as those provided by LK Metrology.

                              • Electronic

                              • Electronics have had a major impact on the development of modern society since the identification of the electron in 1897. Fast forward to 1959 with the launch of the MOSFET, the first truly compact MOS transistor which could be miniaturized and mass-produced for a wide range of applications, revolutionizing industry and launching the Microelectronics and Digital Revolutions. Today, most electronic devices use semiconductor components.

                                Consumer electronics are analog or digital devices that are intended for everyday use such as entertainment, communication and recreational purposes. Today, most consumer electronics are based on digital technologies and have largely merged with the computer industry in what is increasingly referred to as the consumerization of information technology and digitalization. In turn, the driving force behind the electronic industry will always be the semiconductor industry.

                              • Automotive

                              • Just over 45 years ago, LK Metrology delivered the world’s largest moving bridge CMM to the automotive industry, and in the same year, designed, developed and delivered the world’s first horizontal arm CMM. During these early stages of CMM development, these “state-of-the-art” systems featured a mini-computer to include the in-house written inspection software package called LK CMES.

                                Today, LK Metrology is one of the foremost suppliers to the automotive and land transportation industries, providing absolute accuracy in time to all major OEMs, with dedicated solutions from powertrain to sheet-metal applications.

                              • Automation

                              • Automation in metrology represents a significant leap towards achieving unparalleled productivity in manufacturing. By integrating automated control of multiple systems within a single cell, companies experience marked improvements in production consistency, which directly enhances product quality. Automation reduces labor, energy, and material costs, delivering a potent combination of efficiency and precision.
