Servicing and Upgrading our CMM
We have invested a significant sum in servicing and upgrading our existing CMM (Co-ordinate Measuring Machine).
Tufcot have had the CMM for just under eight years, so it was very tempting to simply purchase a completely new CMM.
Nevertheless, as the existing CMM had served us so well and remained a reliable piece of kit; the decision to go for the service, repair and upgrade was quite an easy one to make.

The Changes Made to Our Existing CMM
Our CMM has had a complete strip down, service and re-pipe of the airlines. Most importantly, after being re-calibrated, we upgraded the software.
This means the machine is now running the latest PC-DMIS software. The PC-DMIS software brings us into line with most of our customers and those in the wider supply chain who are also using this industry wide operating system.
It will allow us to produce Inspection & Measurement reports that appear more professional and polished, in a format familiar to many.
This software enables us to work with vast amounts of measurement data, which will leave us better placed to develop further statistical process control measures, ensuring greater repeatability of parts.

Benefits to Our Customers
The upgrade to PC-DMIS software brings many benefits to our customers, including:
