Supply chain
The leading metrology brands all have offices and application centres in Dongguan, Guangzhou or Shenzhen. Calibration traceability and nearby service matter as much as the instrument.
Buyer FAQ
- Which measuring equipment does a motor plant need?
- Height gauges and micrometers for daily checks, air gauges for bores and bearing seats, a roundness and run-out tester for shafts and rotors, an optical projector or vision system for laminations, and a CMM for first-article and housing geometry.
- How often should gauges be calibrated?
- Typically every 6–12 months to traceable standards, more often for heavily used gauges, plus a daily or per-shift check against a master. Run a gauge R&R study before using a gauge to accept parts.
- What should I ask a supplier about their measurement?
- Which characteristics they measure, with what equipment and how often; calibration records; and whether their CMM programs and reports match your drawing datums.
