Precision dimensional control for demanding industrial components
At Erosystem, we integrate our precision dimensional control service as an essential part of our manufacturing processes, offering a rigorous technical solution aimed at guaranteeing the geometric and functional conformity of high-performance parts. Our focus on industrial dimensional control is based on providing clear competitive advantages:
- Direct integration between manufacturing and measurement.
- Focused on the specific application and functionality of the part.
- Scalable level of dimensional control depending on the project, client and sector.
- Reduction of validation times and reaction to deviations.
- Savings in costs, logistics and delivery times.
This service acts as internal support for our machining and electro-erosion processes, as well as an independent dimensional control service for third parties, when the client requires verifying, validating or digitizing existing geometries.
Climate-controlled measuring room and control equipment
We have a climate-controlled measuring room equipped with a bridge-type coordinate measuring machine (CMM), which allows us to perform high-precision dimensional checks on individual parts or assembled tooling, in a controlled environment that ensures thermal stability and reliable results.
Available technical resources
- Bridge-type coordinate measuring machine (CMM).
- Precision instrumentation.
- Blocks and pattern pits.
- Micrometers and calipers.
- Height gauges.
- Alexometers.
- Go/No Go Gauges
- Specific tools and means of verification.
With this equipment we cover all areas associated with dimensional control of precision machining processes for short series and single parts, wire EDM and sinker EDM processes, and the manufacture, assembly and verification of complete tooling.
Technology and means of production
The metrological reliability of the dimensional controls we perform on individual parts, short series or assembled tooling, is based on our technological capabilities to perform CNC measurements with high precision, which allow us to ensure the geometric and dimensional tolerances required in the parts we manufacture.
CNC technical measurement capabilities
- CMM measuring range: 1600 × 1000 × 700 mm (X, Y, Z).
- CMM shape error: 2.5 µm.
- Expanded uncertainty: 0.1 µm.
- Air-conditioned environment: Yes.
Types of industrial dimensional control and documented information
We adapt the scope of dimensional control to the needs of each project, sector and client, defining and agreeing in advance on the required level of inspection.
Common types of dimensional control:
- Ongoing control, for early detection of deviations.
- Thorough first-piece inspection in short series.
- Control by sampling, according to agreed requirements.
- Total control of 100% of the units, when required.
- Final inspection of parts or complete tooling.
For single pieces or prototypes, verifications can be carried out without formal registration if the client does not request a report, prioritizing agility and efficiency, but always maintaining internal controls for quality assurance.
Dimensional reports and documented traceability
Based on the client’s prerequisites, we provide the following documented information:
- Automatic dimensional reports, generated by the CMM software.
- Dimensional reports in PDF format, for controls with manual instrumentation.
- Traceability reports of materials and treatments, through certificates issued by approved suppliers.
- Reports from ENAC-certified laboratories, upon explicit request
2D dimensional reverse engineering
We offer dimensional reverse engineering services focused on 2D functional geometries for cases where the client does not have CAD information.
We perform the re-engineering through direct palpation, obtaining highly reliable results that avoid the uncertainty of scanning processes.
This capability is especially useful when the customer does not have original CAD information, for example, in dies and punches manufactured in low-cost countries.
Common applications of reverse engineering:
- Digitization of cutting contours in dies and punches for dies.
- Referencing cutting contours with pins, closures and backings.
- Dimensional reconstruction of machinery components for replacements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of projects can Erosystem help me with?
Erosystem is an expert in developing comprehensive solutions in precision machining and electro-erosion for single parts, short series, and turnkey tooling.
We have a team of qualified engineers and advanced technology to design, manufacture, measure and assemble all types of mechanical components that require to be produced by means of precision machining, grinding and electro-erosion techniques.
Can I request a quote without having a technical drawing?
It depends. If you’re looking to have a specific, pre-designed component manufactured, we require a technical drawing or a 3D model showing all the specifications that must be met.
Conversely, if you have an idea, a sketch, or a physical sample, our engineers will review the details with you to offer a proposal tailored to your needs.
How long should I wait to receive a quote?
Depending on the complexity of the request. For the manufacture of specific components according to a drawing, you will normally receive a quote in less than 3 business days.
For poorly defined projects that require analysis and conceptual design, or complex projects where a wide variety of manufacturing processes, materials and treatments come into play, the bidding time is extended.
However, our sales team will be in constant contact with you to understand your needs and keep you informed while we prepare the optimal proposal for you.
What delivery times can I expect from the moment I place a formal order?
It will depend on the type of project, the complexity of the parts to be manufactured, and the quantities required.
In any case, we will use all available resources to meet the delivery milestones you require, and our sales team will advise you from the beginning so that you have a realistic expectation in this regard.
Do you provide technical support before subscribing to the service?
Yes. Our engineers are dedicated to understanding each application in order to advise you from the consultation phase, with the aim of resolving all the doubts you may have regarding precision machining processes, electrical discharge machining, and other aspects related to the project.
The goal is to define the optimal manufacturing process so that the economic proposal is as competitive as possible.
Do you perform machining of single or unique parts?
Yes. We are experts in the precision machining of single or unique parts according to the customer’s drawings.
Do you perform prototype machining?
Yes. We manufacture prototypes for technical validation in the early stages of development and assist you in the industrialization process with a functional, effective, efficient, ergonomic, and cost-effective approach. This service is ideal for clients who need to validate the component before mass production.
