UKAS Accreditation

UKAS Accreditation. It makes a difference…but why?

Each year some of the best technical metrology experts visit us and audit our calibration methods against globally recognised standards, it certainly keeps us on our toes. Continuous improvement is the goal, together with a framework for scalable, consistent output.

We can calibrate your height gauge, but our UKAS lab tends to specialise in optical dimensional instrumentation. The scope of our schedule covers both simple manual devices, like toolmakers microscopes and profile projectors, but also all types of digital and optical microscopes.

Uniquely, we are proud to say we were the first UK company to receive accreditation against ISO 10360-7 standard for coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) equipped with imaging probing systems and still currently hold the lowest measurement uncertainty.

More recently we added optical shaft measuring to our portfolio, another industry first.

Some of the many reasons why UKAS adds value

  • It controls the methods and personnel for all activity
  • It defines the uncertainty of the measurement
  • It provides traceability to a globally recognised standard
  • It is not necessarily more expensive than a standard calibration
  • It can be delivered both on and off-site

Whatever your service and calibration requirement, contact us for a free, no-obligation, quotation or simply to chat about how you might benefit from the services that we offer.

Dr Andrew Johnson, Assistant Director, RandA

Optimax are a trusted partner! We have been working in partnership with Optimax for several years, to supply us with inspection solutions, service, and onsite calibration to UKAS standards. Their knowledge and expertise is exceptional, they provide honest, independent advice. Optimax are quick to provide options and solutions for our inspection requirements. They work hard to deliver a solution that 100% fits the application rather than just supplying a product. Optimax work with us to ensure we achieve our inspection objectives – they are one of the first companies I turn to.

Bruce Daggett, Senior Aerospace Weston, Inspection Team Leader

For over 14 years Optimax has been providing us with inspection equipment, service and most importantly expertise. We need suppliers that can go the extra mile in looking specifically at our application and then providing a suitable and sometimes bespoke solution, and this is where Optimax have really made a difference

John Harris, Director, Nevo Developments

Optimax have an extensive product range that was very attractive to us. They took the time to understand my requirements and align a solution that fitted into my manufacturing processes. They were very knowledgeable and friendly, I found the virtual demonstration extremely helpful. The outcome of the project has been very successful and performs above expectations. I would definitely recommend Optimax.
