“Precision
engineering” refers to the process of designing machines and structures that
repeat the same movements over long periods of time. The word “precision” indicates
the extremely high levels of accuracy that the machines provide during this
type of engineering work.
The aim
of precision engineering is to create an exact movement that makes identical
products. If this is managed successfully it means there is a huge reduction in
running costs and the amount of money wasted on products that are thrown away
because they are not identical to others in the same batch.
Today
people are more concerned about using high precision products than ever before which
is why manufacturing processes in this sector have developed rapidly in recent
years. At Midland Precision we work hard to ensure that all of our components
are fabricated to a very high specification using the very latest technology.
We use
the most modern inspection and measuring equipment so that quality
control is
evident throughout everything that we do. We work hard to ensure that all of
the products that we produce are made to an exact specification and if we think
any of them are not as exact as they could be, they are not sold.
Our
company has developed a fantastic reputation over the years for producing
specialist, precise components. Our engineers specialise in small, complex turned
and milled components which are 3mm in diameter and upwards. We understand the significance of
quality control which is why we have inspectors who complete ‘first-off’
‘patrol’ and ‘final’ evaluations of our machines, as well as random quality
control inspections to ensure that our equipment is always performing to the
highest possible standards.
Our
exceptional quality control and operational maintenance ensures all components
achieve component quality and accuracy to a tolerance of 5 microns (0.005 mm). With
the ability to complete milling, drilling and turning functions within a single
action, Midland Precision Engineering Limited can easily produce up to four
hundred complex components every hour.
As well
as our finished products, all of our CNC lathes and equipment are calibrated
regularly using the most modern machinery. The Venture
AB3-V vision system for example includes a 3D vision system that enables us to
see the parts that we are measuring dimensioned in all 3 projections. We also
use the Reinshaw Touch Probe which is used for complicated 3D measurement
applications because it allows
the use of both touch probe and camera measurements in the same inspection. The Venture
AB3-V model features a high precision zoom lens which allow us to magnify
between 30x-200x. It allows detailed reports of the dimensions and geometric
tolerance to be created. We always update our equipment if we feel there is a
new machine that can provide even better quality control.
