Overview

Dimensional inspection services measured to a higher standard

Total Manufacturing performs CMM services and dimensional inspection using state-of-the-art coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) with touch probe technology, comparators, and a form tracer. A granite table built into the CMM and a separate large granite surface plate support manual measurement of bigger parts. These measuring capabilities support quality assurance and first article inspection throughout production and at final verification, delivering high accuracy backed by complete documentation. Total Manufacturing's approach to inspection is simple, measuring one degree higher than a part's required tolerance so the inspection process itself is never the limiting factor on precision. This standard is held throughout every stage of inspection, delivering the consistent, high-quality results customers depend on.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Have questions? Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often.

What does ‘one degree higher precision’ mean for inspection at Total Manufacturing?

Total Manufacturing's inspection philosophy is to measure to a resolution one degree higher than a part's required tolerance. This ensures the measurement system itself never becomes the limiting factor in verifying whether a part meets its specified dimensional requirements.

What manufacturing processes can be supported by dimensional inspection?

Dimensional inspection supports components produced through CNC milling, CNC turning, grinding, EDM, fabrication, and assembly. Incorporating inspection alongside these processes verifies that machined and fabricated features meet drawing requirements before delivery.

Can CMM inspection be performed during manufacturing?

Yes. Inspection can be incorporated throughout the manufacturing process, not only as a final step, to verify dimensions as production moves forward. This helps catch dimensional issues earlier rather than waiting until the part is complete.

Can Total Manufacturing inspect large components?

Yes. Our inspection department includes a 144" x 48" granite surface for large-part measurement, along with CMM and comparator equipment for detailed dimensional verification. This supports inspection of both large-format and precision components in the same facility. Contact us today with your part's dimensions to confirm fit.

What inspection equipment does Total Manufacturing use?

Total Manufacturing's inspection equipment includes Mitutoyo coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) with touch probe technology, two comparators, a form tracer, and a 144" x 48" granite surface plate for large-part measurement. These tools support precise measurement and dimensional inspections of machined and fabricated features against drawing requirements.
