Metrology & Precision Measurement

.Ist das alles die gleiche seite?

Metrology and precision measurement suppliers provide instruments and systems for verifying dimensions, geometric tolerances, and surface characteristics, from coordinate measuring machines and optical scanners to hand-held gauges. The suppliers below manufacture, distribute, calibrate, or integrate precision measurement equipment for manufacturing quality control across European industry.

What Metrology & Precision Measurement suppliers provide

Suppliers in this category cover coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), optical and laser scanning systems, hand-held gauges and calipers, and surface finish measurement equipment. Their core competence lies in verifying dimensions, geometric tolerances, and surface characteristics against a part specification, typically as part of incoming inspection, in-process quality control, or final part verification. Many suppliers also provide calibration services, measurement software, and fixture design support alongside the hardware itself. This category focuses on dimensional and geometric measurement; for instruments that detect the presence of a substance or condition rather than measure a dimension, see Detection & Sensing Devices. In the pre-selection phase, compare which measurement ranges, accuracies, and part sizes a supplier’s equipment actually covers, and confirm whether their calibration work is independently accredited.

Relevant standards

Coordinate measuring machines are commonly tested for accuracy against ISO 10360, which defines acceptance and reverification tests for CMM performance. Calibration and testing laboratories are typically accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, and supplier quality management is commonly certified to ISO 9001.

Frequently asked questions

What does ISO 10360 cover?
ISO 10360 defines acceptance and reverification tests used to verify the measurement accuracy of coordinate measuring machines, helping buyers compare stated performance against an independent test procedure.
