Metrology: new company brings personal touch to engineering measurement
• Portfolio includes world-class German,
Swiss and Japanese dimensional metrology products
Wessex Metrology boasts an enviable
portfolio of class-leading engineering dimensional metrology products
from world-renowned manufacturers:
Wessex Metrology is set to redefine how engineering
companies purchase dimensional metrology products. Carving a path
between traditional manufacturers and distributors, the company
will use its extensive in-house engineering experience and expanding
portfolio of class-leading metrology products to create effective
measurement solutions.
Wessex Metrology has been established by Hamish
Gracie who brings over 20 years experience in dimensional metrology
to the company.
“ Market pressures are driving engineering
companies to manufacture ever more complex products for which there
is no, immediately obvious, out-of-the-box metrology solution for
ensuring quality and accuracy. Today’s metrology equipment
manufacturers and distributors are more interested in shipping product
than in delivering solutions, intensifying the dilemma in quality
assurance” notes Hamish Gracie. “We bring the personal
touch to measuring engineering. Our experience in understanding
measurement problems enables us to deliver optimum metrology solutions,
unconstrained by a limited in-house portfolio.”
Wessex Metrology boasts an enviable initial portfolio
of products from renowned world-class manufacturers that are bywords
in engineering for quality and precision:
LMW: unremitting technological
advance and ever-higher quality demands drive this German company
to develop class-leading thread, ring and plain cylindrical gauges,
setting rings, snap and taper gauges, and square, hexagonal and
spherical gauges. Total quality assurance is assured by LMW’s
state-of-the-art design, manufacturing and inspection facilities.
Hexacon: specialises in manual
and automatic measurement of bores from 6 to 280 mm. This German
company offers chamfer, slot and crankshaft thrust face gauges in
addition to its world-renowned two- and three-point precision measuring
heads for through, blind and multi-bores. All measuring heads are
TiN-coated with optional tungsten carbide or diamond measuring contacts.
Kroeplin: for over 125 years, this
German company has developed high-quality measuring tools for the
global automotive, aerospace, medical and packaging industries.
Its precision mechanical and electronic internal and external length
and thickness gauges measure from 0 to 550mm and includes such standards-defining
brands as Intertest, Intertronic and Oditronic.
TC/Martin+Tschopp: the precision,
hardened steel, pins from TC [Japan] - 0.1 to 20 mm diameter - complement
LMW’s plug gauges, allowing accurate go/nogo testing or checking
of hole position, slot width, and so on, while the M+T [Switzerland]
pins offer exceptional tolerances for thread and gear measurement
of gauges or components.
Wessex Metrology offers many of these products ex-stock
or on very short lead times and plans to extend this range very
quickly by tapping additional class-leading suppliers from Europe
and Japan. The company’s global remit ensures engineering
companies in UK and Ireland can develop and prove quality measurement
solutions and export them to overseas production centres with complete
confidence.
From high quality fixed limit gauging to complete
gauging systems, Wessex Metrology provides a single source for measuring
engineering solutions.
