VPI uses the following tools to provide all of the machine metrology services. These tools were selected for their accuracy, dependability, and efficiency.

The API XD Laser system, for example, reduces measurement time for a typical machining center by at least 80% without sacrificing accuracy. This is compared to using conventional laser systems.

API XD Laser

1. • Typical 1m3 machining center measured in less than 3 hours.
   

2. • Can measure up to 80 feet.
   

Renishaw Telescoping Ballbar

1. • Provides dynamic performance information.
   

2. • The data is used for baseline information.
   

3. • Used for interim testing.
   

4. • Measurement time usually one hour or less.
   

Federal Electronic Levels

1. • Used for machine assessment.
   

2. • Excellent tool for machine alignments and rotary calibration.
   

AG Davis Ultradex Calibrator

1. • Used in conjunction with the API Laser and the Federal Electronic Levels to measure rotary axes.
   

Cera-Chek ceramic square

1. • Excellent tool for machine assessment and alignments.
