"We bring the personal touch to measuring engineering.
Our experience in understanding measurement problems enables us to deliver optimum metrology solutions, unconstrained by a limited in-house portfolio." Wessex Metrology boasts an enviable initial portfolio of products from renowned world-class manufacturers that are bywords in engineering for quality and precision.
LMW - unremitting technological advance and ever-higher quality demands drive this German company to develop class-leading thread, ring and plain cylindrical gauges, setting rings, snap and taper gauges, and square, hexagonal and spherical gauges.
Total quality assurance is assured by LMW's state-of-the-art design, manufacturing and inspection facilities.
Hexacon - specialises in manual and automatic measurement of bores from 6 to 280mm.
This German company offers chamfer, slot and crankshaft thrust face gauges in addition to its world-renowned two- and three-point precision measuring heads for through, blind and multi-bores.
All measuring heads are TiN-coated with optional tungsten carbide or diamond measuring contacts.
Kroeplin - for over 125 years, this German company has developed high-quality measuring tools for the global automotive, aerospace, medical and packaging industries.
Its precision mechanical and electronic internal and external length and thickness gauges measure from 0 to 550mm and includes such standards-defining brands as Intertest, Intertronic and Oditronic.
TC/Martin+Tschopp - the precision, hardened steel, pins from TC [Japan] - 0.1 to 20mm diameter - complement LMW's plug gauges, allowing accurate go/nogo testing or checking of hole position, slot width, and so on, while the M+T [Switzerland] pins offer exceptional tolerances for thread and gear measurement of gauges or components.
Wessex Metrology offers many of these products ex-stock or on very short lead times and plans to extend this range very quickly by tapping additional class-leading suppliers from Europe and Japan.
The company1s global remit ensures engineering companies in UK and Ireland can develop and prove quality measurement solutions and export them to overseas production centres with complete confidence.
From high quality fixed limit gauging to complete gauging systems, Wessex Metrology provides a single source for measuring engineering solutions.
