Industrial Metrology in Design and Manufacture
Beyond monitoring tool lifespan, metrology plays a major role in tool design and product development. By analysing wear patterns, erosion, thermal degradation and material behaviour, manufacturers can refine tool geometries or incorporate localised hardening to improve durability.
Optimax supplies an extensive range of industrial metrology solutions designed for high-accuracy cutting tool inspection. From optical measuring machines to advanced 3D scanners for manufacturing, our equipment provides clear, traceable data on even the smallest features. With continuous measurement and monitoring, you can identify early signs of wear and track performance throughout the tool’s service life.
We also offer contract measurement services through our fully equipped in-house laboratory. Our skilled engineers can inspect cutting tools and finished components, helping you pinpoint the source of defects and accurately assess the impact of tool wear on end products. This ensures tools are used to their full lifecycle without risking non-compliant or faulty parts entering production.
