3D Metrology Services

MTR provides advanced 3D metrology services to maintain machine tool accuracy through precise alignment verification and geometric inspections, allowing issues to be identified early and corrected efficiently to reduce unplanned production downtime.

Faro Laser Tracker Service

Our Faro laser trackers are highly accurate 3D metrology tools enabling rapid and precise static measurements of parts, machine bedways and more as well as dynamic surveys from moving carriages or heads with measurements representative of the tool path. The end-state is a back to OEM alignment, comprehensive diagnostic data and a complete report showing how your machine tool will perform within its cutting path / work envelope.”

MTR uses its extensive knowledge of real-world measurement applications, to maximize the laser tracker’s ability to perform the following:

Timely alignments: Reduced production delay, more accurate, true dynamic analysis along the cutting path.
Regular monitoring to pre-emptively monitor wear, motion control error, operator- induced issues.
Machine move / new install validation.
Expedient foundation layouts.
MTR’s laser tracker service provides fast accurate surveys and enables us to capture a 3-D measurement quickly and easily, giving you a more complete picture of the machine condition.

Renishaw Linear and Rotary Laser Services

The XL80 laser system can measure linear and rotary positioning accuracy and repeatability by comparing the position given on a machine’s control display with the true position measured by the laser. These values can then be viewed, printed and statistically analyzed by the system’s software to national and international standards. In this way, the machine’s positioning accuracy can be verified and significantly improved, quickly and easily. MTR can utilize these systems to compensate the machine axis for more precise linear and rotary accuracies.

Keyence portable CMM & Vision Scanner

The Wide Area CMM measuring instrument can easily measure the
dimensions and shapes of products. Dimensions can be measured with the contact probe and shapes with the laser-scanning probe. The wireless probes eliminate routing limitations, allowing for easy measurement over a wide range. With no need for preprocessing such as spraying and sealing, scanning can be performed quickly and with high accuracy.”

3D Keyence Scanner allows for modeling features for quick reverse engineering

“Mobile CMM probe supports high-precision, large scale 3D coordinate measurement up to 80 feet!

Services Offered by MTR

When MTR began this business in 1982, we exclusively did service and repair work. Our customers were so pleased with our services that they began contracting with us to be their annual maintenance teams, shutdown crews, weekend repair crews, and more. Today we continue to support these efforts. We service almost every type of machine tool make and model. We specialize in larger machines and have the tooling and instrumentation to fix some of the world’s largest machine tools.

Analysis

Thorough machine analysis is the key to a good repair job—and MTR is the company to do it. Our team of engineers and application sales engineers can estimate what it will take to get your machine tool running properly. So, before your machine tool becomes a large paperweight on the shop floor, let MTR look it over and find a way to help.

Laser Calibration

When was the last time you checked the alignment of your machines? Have you noticed the machinist is having a tough time holding tolerances? Maybe it’s time you have MTR realign your machinery, or at least inspect it. With our high-tech laser calibration unit, an MTR technician can come in and inspect your machine and make any adjustments necessary to get your machine back to OEM specifications.

Scraping

When recalibration and machine alignments are just not enough for your high mileage machine, it’s time to think about scraping. Scraping is a long-lived process by which you remove very small amounts of material to achieve true flat surfaces. This is primarily done to way surfaces that have become worn due to overuse or age. Scraping and realignment can get your machine back to OEM specifications. The lost art of scraping is a great way to bring your machine ways back to original or better condition. Scraping is a means of correcting wear from a surface that is not a hardened way, hardened ways can typically be removed and ground.
