The emphasis of Taradale Production Engineers has always been to consistently produce a high quality product, with zero defects and to deliver on time. The ability to maintain and build that reputation has been enhanced with the recent addition of a MITUYOYO Crysta-Apex CNC 3D Coordinate Measuring Machine, designed and constructed using all of Mitutoyos’ experience in CNC CMM technology. This machine is built using lightweight materials and an innovative moving-bridge type machine structure, providing high motion stability to take advantage of the increased scanning speed and high accuracy of this model.
The temperature correction function (16°C to 26°C) can yield accurate measurements even on the shop floor. In addition to point-to-point measurement, the MPP-310Q and Mitutoyo Laser probes provide a contact/non-contact scanning function.
Taradale Production Engineers believe that their strict quality control and testing systems have established their reputation for achieving excellence and that today’s manufacturing demands even more accuracy, speed and functionality from measuring technologies.
It is on the shop floor that TPE know that the MITUTOYO Coordinate Measuring Machine will reveal its full potential, demonstrating absolute precision even while the temperature of the machine or the work piece is changing, as Mitutoyo coordinate measuring machines are designed to perform just as well as they do under thermally stable conditions. Sensors attached to the CMM and work piece detect temperature variations and transfer this information to the controller so it can apply the appropriate corrections to the system in real time. This guarantees shop floor measurements to an accuracy that can otherwise only be obtained in a thermally stable quality control room.
TPE know that by constantly upgrading their plant machinery that their clients get optimum turnaround times. The use of some of the most current technology available in New Zealand also insures that their staff are of extremely high calibre, as they have the opportunity to build knowledge and skills in a wide range of technological and practical processes. TPE value their staff and their skills, recognising that no matter how clever the machines are that they install, these machines cannot operate without skilled human input.
