Off-Line Programming

If your company is like most shops, your Quality Technicians are trying to manage multiple tasks at once. From working with the shop floor on first piece buy-off, to filling out inspection forms, to performing final inspection tasks, the constant interruptions can lead to negative results if they are being asked to program as well. 

Allow us to take the programming burden off their plate so that they may focus on keeping the machine running and their other day to day task. 

What we offer: 

• Fixed Pricing - Know what your CMM Program is going to cost you up front. Too often companies focus on their CNC Programming cost, but neglect to really understand the time invested in the CMM program. 
• On-Time Delivery - How often do your parts get to the CMM only to wait on the CMM Program to finish being developed. 
• Accurate Results - Inaccurate data can really be costly if the investigation concludes the CMM Program was in error. This is time you don't get back and can have a serious impact on your delivery schedule. We have over 25 years experience developing CMM Programs and will work with you until your FAI is accepted. 

Our Metrologist are skilled at programming with; 

• PC DMIS
• Virtual DMIS
• Calypso

What do we need to get started?

• 2-D Blueprint
• Any external specifications that further define features of the part(s)
• 3-D Model (Would be preferred but not required)
• Type of Machine(s) the program will run on
• The Type of Controller
• Probe Head Configuration along with Probe styli specifications
• How you plan to fixture the part while it is being inspected. 
• Axis System the data should be reported from.  (i.e Aircraft Coordinates / Car Body Coordinates / NC Machine Axis / Local Axis) 
• Experience level of the employees to be running the machine. 

Let us help you to optimize your process and improve ROI on your equipment that you have heavily invested in. 

Need help developing your FAI or PPAP paperwork? 

Let us take care of that for you as well. All we need is a drawing and we can develop your FAI paperwork for you. We can create your AS9102 or PPAP forms so you don't have to. 

Do you have issues of the part getting to inspection and not having the right inspection equipment? 

During the development of the FAI documentation, we can also make recommendations on gauging that may not have been considered at the time of Quote.
