Quality Control

To support our ISO 9001 and AISC certified quality programs, Chesapeake Machining & Fabrication Inc. has a full complement to measuring tools and equipment capable of accurately measuring the equipment that we manufacture. All of our tools and equipment are calibrated with standards traceable to NIST and in addition to our manual measurement tools, we have the following portable CMM’s. If needed, we can tailor our program to meet your specific Quality Assurance requirements.

  • Two Each Faro Portable CMM –Platinum
    • Due to the size and nature of the equipment which we commonly manufacture, a traditional CMM has very limited use due to the need to move the equipment to be measured to the CMM. Our two Faro Portable CMM’s provide us with the flexibility of easily moving the measurement device to the equipment to be measured. The Measurement range of up-to 12′ with and accuracy +/- .002 can be increased by “leapfrogging”, allowing us to accurately measure parts up to the sizes of our largest machine tools.
  • FARO Vantage Laser Tracker
    • To augment this capability for larger parts, we also utilize our FARO Laser tracker for extended range up to 100 ft and capability and accuracy of 0.0006.
