Spacecoast Precision utilizes a variety of modern and old-school testing methods and equipment to insure the parts we produce for our customers meet their requirements. Our facility is climate-controlled so that we have consistent temperatures to manufacture and inspect the finished piece in. 

Our inspection department utilizes granite surface plates, an air-cushioned 400mm Fowler Trimos V4 height gauge (accurate to .00005″), Brown and Sharpe indicators, Cadillac gauges and other equipment to take final readings on parts to insure they meet customer expectations.  Clark Rockwell hardness testers also are used to confirm material hardness that otherwise would be difficult to certify via other methods when required.

On the shop floor, our programmers and operators utilize hand tools such as Mitutoyo digital calipers and micrometers to take preliminary measurements as parts are machined, as well as Brown and Sharp indicators for checking parts in-process. Adjustments can be made to tool and wear offsets quickly to compensate for small variances if any are detected. We also use pin gauges, 1-2-3 blocks, and other tried-and-true techniques to insure that what we program is what our machines are actually producing.

Our machines are periodically inspected with a Renishaw ball bar test by independent 3rd parties, and if needed, compensation data or repairs can be made to insure that the machines are tracking accurately to their programmed paths. The machines also have Renishaw digital probing built in to not only inspect and set tooling, but to also check positions and parts in-process.
