The AMRC Metrology group provides a range of dimensional metrology technologies and services to our research groups and partners.
We are skilled in many areas of dimensional metrology, and have experience in a number of industry sectors. Our key capabilities include:
- CMM contact probing (3 and 5 axis touch point and scanning)
- Measurement arm probing
- Non-contact scanning (laser and white light fringe)
- Photogrammetry
- Large volume metrology
- Point data analysis
- Polygon data analysis
Based in dedicated facilities within the AMRC Factory of the Future, the Metrology team supports the research groups by qualifying novel parts and processes to make sure that they meet physical requirements and industry standards.
To meet the needs of the AMRC’s different research areas, we have developed the flexibility to qualify diverse components such as:
- High tolerance machined parts
- Free form carbon composite parts
- Airframe assembly fixtures
- Near net shape components
We also research and develop new metrology methods and technologies, using statistical techniques to benchmark the results and providing valuable data to help achieve technology readiness level targets.
We can provide a measurement service for AMRC partners, either as part of their own research or as a standalone project. To help provide a professional service, we have automated the scanning of batch components and written macros to perform complex alignments and analysis.
