Metrology

Global Metrology Services

The Metalock Engineering Group Metrology Department uses the science of measurement for your engineering needs.

Our metrology services are available at all our global sites and can be used in almost any industry - Steelworks, Aerospace, Power Generation, Car Manufacturing, Maritime, and much more.

Accurate Measurements in All Environments

Laser tracking is now an industry standard in all types of engineering, the ability to produce accurate measurements in all types of environments, to create and leave a permanent reference system that will allow the laser tracker to position its self in the same place, time after time. This is becoming a key feature for customers that require permanent reference points to work from, months or even years into the future. This enables the customer to collect measurement data at regular intervals that will establish the level of wear, movement or deterioration of all types of plant and equipment.

Using the latest laser surveying equipment Metalock are able to measure even the most obscure components and structures and provide accurate images and data that can assist the customer in making educated decisions prior to any capital investment.

Metrology Networks Installation

• Installation of large-scale metrology networks.
• Installation of Unified Spatial Metrology Networks (USMN).

A powerful feature that leverages the uncertain characteristics of different instruments to provide a much more accurate instrument network than that of traditional alignment methods which reduce the chance of incremental error over large distances.

Independent Machine Inspection

• Full machine mapping
• Volumetric grid map of machine travel
• Analyse machine run out, machine sag and repeatable error mapping
• Compile data for machine auto comp adjustment

3D Scanner Technology

Metalock uses the latest 3D scanner technology and we can provide:

• Complete 3 Dimensional surveys of entire factories
• Dimensions at a touch of a button
• 3D walk through
