Fifteen years designing and manufacturing machinery alignment products has taught me a few things about Metrology. It has also facilitated a rather well equipped Metrology Lab.

• Dedicated space

• Climate controlled

• Quality instruments with NIST traceable certification

• Dimensional measurements to five micro-inches (0.1 micron)

• Angular measurements to within one half arc second

• Data collection

• Statistical Process Control

• Failure/defect analysis

While my work does not include the need for NVLAP accreditation, I still maintain and use my instruments according to NIST recommendations and industry accepted practices. My primary length and angle standards have all been certified with standards which have traceability to NIST. As with my machinery, prudent purchase of late model instruments has enabled me assemble a Lab with capabilities that many shops only dream of. This is where I assemble, calibrate, and certify all of the TS-Aligner products. I also verify the accuracy of unknown instruments and provide a signed certificate indicating the results of my analysis.
