Inspection

1. CMM: Our CMM machine utilizes an innovative moving-bridge type machine structure, providing high motion stability to take advantage of the increased scanning speed of this model, and high accuracy. In addition to point-to-point measurement, the MPP-310Q and Mitutoyo Laser probes provide a contact/non-contact scanning function.
2. Oasis Optical Inspection System: The Oasis works by utilizing an LED light source to collimate precise rays through a series of specially designed diffusers and lenses that shine across the part to be inspected. That image is then captured by a very specific telocentric optical lens, which results in a perfect monochrome profile of the inspected part. The part profile is then digitally captured with a specially designed camera system and transferred to the custom onboard computer where the software does the rest. The image is analyzed and measurement data is displayed on-screen. The Oasis operates by casting a “Shadow” of a part to be inspected and capturing that image in a digital format to be analyzed by an on-board computer. The powerful software behind the scenes converts the captured image into real dimensional data that measures the part to an accuracy of ±.0001 inches!

We at Marples Gears are committed to high quality, high precision manufacturing through the use of high tech equipment and continual inspection.

Our standards for machined part tolerances are between 0.0002″ and 0.0001″.

We have two full time Inspection Employees with 25+ years experience in inspecting aerospace parts. In addition to our two full time inspection employees, our Vice President of Manufacturing and the owner of Marples Gears both have experience in inspection of aerospace parts.

AS9100C (or AS9100 2009) is a quality management standard for the aviation, space, and defense industries. AS9100C is based on the ISO 9001 2008 management standard. Both standards are organized in the same way and use the same numbering.
