Given the intense competition between engineering subcontractors it is often the businesses with unique selling points that stand out from the crowd. One such successful company is Washington, Tyne and Wear based RDS Precision Engineering. In addition to establishing a reputation for delivering on time and on budget, the busy company\u2019s main differentiator is its highly developed quality ethos. To help ensure the premium quality of the company\u2019s output, regular investments are made in high-precision inspection equipment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest addition to RDS Precision Engineering\u2019s impressive quality control department is an ACCRETECH SURFCOM NEX 041 CNC measuring station that provides the company with high-precision, two-dimensional contour and surface roughness measurement capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explaining the recent ACCRETECH purchase. RDS Precision Engineering Director Rob Bone said. \u201cA policy of regular investments has resulted in our skilled staff now having access to a wide range of fist-class inspection equipment. As a BS EN ISO 9001 certified business that counts many companies involved in technically demanding industries as customers, quality has always been, and will continue to be, our number one priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High precision metrology equipment for increasing demands<\/strong>
\u201cWe use a selection of standard inspection equipment, such as CMMs and vision measuring systems. Also, given the demanding specifications and challenging dimensional tolerances of many of our components, we also use highly-precise specialised metrology equipment, such as our recently purchased advanced ACCRETECH CNC contour and roughness measuring system.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision to purchase the ACCRETECH system was a simple one. Some time ago, a major customer of ours searched the market for an easy to use CNC measuring station that could deliver high-precision, two-dimensional contour measurements, although several alternative systems failed to match the business\u2019 exacting standards, a SURFCOM NEX 041 proved to be the ideal solution.
\n\u201cAs we were recently looking to up-grade our inspection capabilities in this area, given our customer\u2019s exceptionally high precision standards, the in-depth research they had undertaken before their ACCRETECH purchase, and as a result of their recommendation, we also recently invested in a SURFCOM NEX 041.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automated measuring routines save time<\/strong>
The SURFCOM NEX 041 is an advanced, CNC measuring station that delivers high-precision, two-dimensional, physical contour measurement. Ideal for the manual or CNC, high-precision measurement of contour geometries on demanding applications, such as ball screws and large bearings, the advanced ACCRETECH system has an impressive contour measuring accuracy of \u00b1(0.8+|2H|\/100).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In accordance with ACCRETECH\u2019s philosophy of providing the highest standards of precision with trouble-free operation, thanks to the use of kinematic magnetic holders, the SURFCOM NEX 041\u2019s contour styli can be swapped out effortlessly and with high positioning accuracy. Also, to enable even the most difficult to reach workpiece positions to be inspected a wide range of contour measuring styli are available.
\nIdeal for use by both novices and experienced quality control personnel, user-friendly SURFCOM NEX 041\u2019s ACCTee operating software is extremely intuitive. In addition to measurements being fully automated, the system\u2019s calibration and adjustment procedures are also simple procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob Bone continued. \u201cFollowing a trouble free installation and operator training, as the SURFCOM NEX 041\u2019s operation is so straightforward our staff soon mastered its operation. Now in regular use, our new ACCRETECH machine is proving invaluable. For instance, we were previously using a shadowgraph to measure a regularly manufactured family of parts with demanding angular contour specifications and struggling to achieve the required levels of precision. Now, we are able to load each of these parts onto the SURFCOM NEX 041, recall the relevant program and instigate a precise, fully automatic CNC measuring routine. Not only has the ACCRETECH machine improved our precision standards related to these challenging components, it has also slashed the time taken to inspect them. In fact, as our contour inspection routines have been automated, now, after the operator has loaded each part onto the machine, he is able to perform other duties whilst waiting for inspection cycles to be completed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
