Acton, Ontario-based Express Manufacturing specializes in the quick production of accurate parts for their customers. With a primary focus on the aerospace industry, specifically landing gear, Express Manufacturing often inspects bearing and matting surfaces to exacting standards. Additionally, the need to remove a part from the tooling machine for inspection created problems since it is nearly impossible to set a part back into a machine for re-tooling exactly as it was before the removal.
Express required a solution that would allow them to quickly and accurately inspect a part and eliminate the need to remove it during the machining process. FARO’s GagePlus arm proved to be the ideal product for Express because it’s easy-to-use, highly accurate (up to .0002”) and designed to be used directly on the shop floor – especially for on-machine inspections.
During a risk-free trial program called the FARO Technology Test Drive, Express was able to evaluate the GagePlus on their own shop floor and immediately realize the benefit. The shop easily implemented the solution and inspected parts to the accuracy of a much larger and more expensive CMM.
