Quality investment: Turned-parts manufacturer shuns manual metrology practices and invests in CNC equipment

摘要

Nick Groom, managing director of Hertford-based Qualiturn Products (Tel: 01992 584499), which manufactures precision-turned parts, says: "I can not see the point of investing in accurate and repeatable CNC machine tools and then checking the components they produce by hand. You simply take the risk of human error out of the machining process, only to re-introduce it in the quality control department."
