UKAS ISO10360 Accreditation for Calibration of CMM ’ s
At QCT , precision and accuracy are at the heart of everything we do . We are proud to have held our ISO / IEC 17052:2017 Accreditation to calibrate to UKAS 10360 on Coordinate Measuring Machines ( CMM ’ s ) for 25 years , reflecting our commitment to the highest standards in measurement and calibration . But what does this accreditation mean for us and , more importantly , for you ?
What is UKAS 10360
UKAS 10360 refers to the stringent calibration and testing standards set by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service ( UKAS ) for CMM ’ s . It is based on ISO 10360 , the international standard for the acceptance and reverification of CMM performance , focusing on precision and reliability in measurement . This accreditation means that our calibration processes meet the highest possible level of traceability and accuracy , ensuring that all results can be trusted to the finest detail .
Standard Calibration vs . UKAS Calibration
Standard calibration is a routine check against known calibrated artifacts calibrated to National Standards to ensure that the measuring machine is functioning and measuring linearly correctly . However , UKAS accredited calibration goes far beyond . It involves a comprehensive evaluation of the CMM , verified against recognized standards , also including probing uncertainties and the machines temperature & environment This level of scrutiny provides absolute confidence in
the machine ’ s performance , giving customers results that meet the most rigorous quality assurance criteria , with a full volumetric accuracy of the CMM . In short , UKAS calibration offers a higher degree of trust and certification .
How Long Have QCT Been Accredited
QCT have been accredited to UKAS 10360 standards for over 25 years , and during that time , we have continually honed our expertise . This longevity demonstrates our ongoing dedication to precision and quality , reinforcing our place as a trusted leader in the calibration of CMM ’ s .
What Results Are Provided
QCT ’ s UKAS calibration provides in-depth reports , detailing measurement uncertainties and the performance of your CMM across multiple parameters . You will receive a comprehensive summary of your machine ’ s capabilities , pinpointing areas of improvement , if necessary , and certifying its volumetric accuracy for the most demanding tasks .
Volumetric Accuracy
Volumetric accuracy is critical in 3D measurement , and our UKAS accreditation ensures that we evaluate this crucial parameter with utmost precision . Whether your CMM is used for large or small volumes , our calibration guarantees that your measurements will be accurate across the full working range of your machine .
ISO Numbers and Their Coverage
Our UKAS accreditation encompasses several ISO standards , including :
• ISO 10360-2:2009 . This covers length measurement accuracy on CMMs , ensuring precise linear dimensions .
• ISO 10360-5:2010 & ISO 10360-5:2020 . Focuses on probing performance , a key factor in determining the accuracy of measurements taken by the CMM ’ s probe .
By adhering to these ISO standards , our calibration services provide you with the assurance that your CMM meets global benchmarks for accuracy and reliability .
In conclusion , our UKAS 10360 accreditation is not just a badge of honour , it ’ s a commitment to excellence . With this certification , we continue to provide the highest level of measurement accuracy and confidence to our customers , ensuring that every dimension , angle , and shape is measured to perfection .
