With increased demand from customers for detailed inspection reporting, the latest £40,000 investment allows Quickits to provide electronic inspection reporting including 3D modelling of its components.

Using reverse engineering technology critical dimensions can be measured and compared to engineering data to instantly detect any deviations. Angles, distances, geometric and positional dimensions are easily inspected and compared against the permitted tolerances.

Capable of measuring a component with a cubic area of up to 3mtr the 6 axis measuring arm is more than capable of inspecting the vast range of components that Quickits design and manufacture at its head office and production facility based in Nottinghamshire, UK.

Commenting on the recent investment Mark Clarke, Production Manager said; ‘This latest investment in theFaro could not have been timed any better since we were able to house this in our new recently purchased production and warehouse facility which is situated on the same industrial park as our existing premises. A single investment of £40,000 in measuring equipment is substantial however, with a workforce in excess of 40 personnel teamed with 30 state of the art CNC machines utilising such inspection equipment to maintain our quality is vital. Ensuring concentricity of PCD’s and drive couplings in relation to our products is essential and the Faro allows such measurements to be measured with precision accuracy and recorded for our customers to view, something which is unique to our industry.

‘Such measuring equipment is common in the aerospace industry and to now have this within our own business demonstrates the level of investment that Quickits are prepared to go to in order to remain at the forefront of technology.’

On target to exceed budgeted sales in excess of £3million this year Quickits latest investment further enhances its enviable reputation within the industry as the first choice supplier when professional solutions are required for valve actuation on a global scale.
