DEK's metrology lab is equipped with multi-axis CMMs, optical measurement systems, and surface analysis instruments — delivering dimensional verification down to sub-micron accuracy for precision-machined components.
Our climate-controlled metrology lab houses bridge-type and articulated-arm CMMs with automated probe changers, enabling high-throughput dimensional verification for complex geometries and tight tolerances.
High-density point cloud capture for freeform surface comparison against CAD models with deviation mapping.
Flatness, cylindricity, true position, runout, profile — all geometric tolerances evaluated per ASME Y14.5.
Digital inspection reports generated automatically with pass/fail results, deviation values, and graphical output.
Beyond CMMs, our lab includes a full range of optical, surface, and dimensional inspection instruments — each calibrated on schedule and traceable to NIST standards.
