Trust Precision Engineering is a specialist in CNC sliding head manufacturing, with 11 machines running 24 hours a day. They primarily work across the motorsport, medical and aerospace industries, providing the highest quality components to their customers.
Trust Precision Engineering invested in two VICIVISION Techno304 turned-part measurement machines from VICIVISION UK. This has allowed them to measure more detailed components faster, more accurately and more consistently.
VICIVISION UK is a specialist in providing high performance, non-contact measurement systems, for turned parts and cylindrical components.
Project Brief:
Trust Precision Engineering’s focus is their reputation and ensuring the highest level of quality for every single component they produce. Trust Precision Engineering needed to ensure their parts were accurate, consistent and fully traceable.
Trust Precision Engineering were looking to upgrade their measurement machines to the latest technology to improve their overall inspection process, and made contact with VICIVISION UK to explore their turned-part measurement solutions.
Stephen Doyle, Sales and Marketing Manager for Trust Precision Engineering explained:
“We have 11 manufacturing machines constantly producing parts and often requiring 100% inspection. We were getting busier and busier and we needed to be able to check our parts accurately and consistently to make sure that we were totally confident that what we were sending out was right.”
The Solution:
Trust Precision Engineering invested in two VICIVISION Techno 304 advanced turned-part measurement machines, supplied by VICIVISION UK, to guarantee accurate, reliable and consistent quality measurement data for their components.
The Techno 304 is a high precision inspection machine, offering unparalleled accuracy and precision. Engineered for small to medium-sized mechanical components, the Techno 304 boasts advanced features such as high-resolution cameras, precision optics and LED lighting for optimal illumination.
“When we got the Techno 304, we found out how much you could do with it,” said Stephen.
“We couldn’t find any machine with benefits above what the Techno 304 could do. The benefits are its speed, its consistency and its performance. We can put our parts through the VICIVISION knowing it’ll be quick and it will measure the key features that we need,” said Stephen.
The Benefits:
Investing in a turned part measurement system from VICIVISION UK has allowed Trust Precision Engineering to enhance their inspection processes and upgrade to the latest inspection technology. Trust Precision is now able to ensure speed, accuracy and traceability when measuring their components to ensure their end-use products are of the highest quality.
Managing Director of Trust Precision Engineering, Nick Street, said:
“The Techno 304 has opened up areas of inspection which I couldn’t have checked manually. When you start getting down to microns there can be a discrepancies in manual measurement. Whereas with the VICIVISION, it guarantees that everybody inspects the parts exactly the same.”
Stephen said:
“VICI has exceeded what we expected. It’s become an integral part of our processes. After learning what we can do with this technology, parts you wouldn’t even think of measuring, we put on there. It measures all of the part’s external features in seconds, down to microns. We like VICIVISION UK’s operating software. Because it is so user friendly, it’s become our default tool for most of our turned parts.
“The VICIVISION UK teams support has been invaluable, they have guided us through any issue with what needs to be done to remedy the problem. For someone that is producing volume turned parts, if they were looking for a shaft vision machine, don’t buy anything until you’ve looked at VICIVISION UK, it’s opened doors we could never have imagined before.
