Inspection and Measurement Fixtures

Geometric inspection

Datums and measurement points prepared for unambiguous acceptance

We manufacture mechanical checking fixtures, measurement frames and locating elements to customer documentation. The scope may include component manufacture, assembly, adjustment, final measurement and a report prepared by Fritech or an established measurement partner.

Inspection system components

A mechanical reference to the product documentation

01

Reference datums

Plates, supports and locating surfaces representing the defined datum system.

02

Checking elements

Pins, bushes, stops and inspection points manufactured to drawing.

03

Measurement frame

Stable welded and machined structure prepared to support the component.

04

Acceptance documentation

Agreed measurements, results and report within the ordered scope.

Inspection methods

Measurement matched to the size and project requirements

Basic checks are carried out using standard workshop instruments. For more complex geometry we arrange measurement through a long-established industry specialist.

  • inspection with conventional measuring tools
  • portable measuring arm inspection
  • laser tracker for large structures
  • checking datums and machined surfaces
  • fixture adjustment after measurement
  • measurement report as an agreed deliverable

Acceptance criteria

Tolerances are assigned to specific features

We do not claim one overall accuracy for an entire fixture. Requirements are reviewed for individual datums, holes, surfaces and geometric relationships.

Datum scheme defined in the documentation and linked to the measurement method
Precision features machined and inspected to the tolerance specified on the drawing
Structure size considered when selecting the measurement method and reference points
Report format and data scope agreed before manufacturing starts

Quality documentation

Dimensional inspection can be combined with material records

For agreed projects we can supply material documentation, 3.1 certificates and a measurement report. The required documentation package should be stated in the enquiry.
