Metrology 4.0
We ensure that parts fit right the first time in high-demand environments, eliminating rework through advanced dimensional technology and GD&T systems.
Physical data
turned into certainty
Measurement of parts or equipment to determine their actual dimensions, enabling virtual simulations and comparison with theoretical 2D drawings or 3D models.
These coordinate measurements (x,y,z) are captured by selecting the most suitable technology based on the characteristics and tolerances required for each project. Once processed, deliverables such as dimensional control reports, inspection/verification reports or 3D deformation analysis are produced, depending on project needs.
At Dogram, we have specialized in metrology 4.0 and in projects with GD&T systems according to ASME and ISO standards, with experience in over 100 projects of this type at an international level, both in manufacturing processes and existing machines or equipment.
Common needs
and challenges
- The end client requires the manufacturer to have a third party geometrically verify the part during the manufacturing process.
- Absence of drawings and/or inconsistency between existing drawings and reality when modifying or repairing a machine.
- Need to analyze deformations or wear on a part.
- Lack of experience in performing dimensional control processes.
- Need for verification/acceptance of supplier parts. Settling responsibilities.
- Production peaks with insufficient resources to handle dimensional controls.
- Production delays due to non-conformities that could be resolved through intermediate dimensional controls.
How do we help
your quality team?
Modelling & Drawings
Using the latest measurement technologies for extracting real measurements and obtaining metrological reports or updated drawings.
3D Nominal Comparison
Through 3D digitization with precision or long-range laser scanners, performing comparisons with nominal measurements and producing detailed deviation reports.
Process Optimization
We understand the manufacturing process together with the client and propose dimensional control solutions tailored to the process needs.
Technical Commissioning
We choose the most suitable technology and travel to our client's supplier facilities to perform measurement and validate delivery.
Quality Outsourcing
We integrate into our client's quality department handling complete projects, adapting to their internal methodologies to provide support when multiple manufacturing projects coincide.
Preventing Recurrence
We work with the client to understand non-conformities from previous projects and devise improvement proposals based on intermediate measurements during manufacturing.
Serial Control
For the manufacture of serial parts or elements, based on manufacturing and design requirements, we create automated dimensional control methodologies.
Report Auditing
We analyze data in third-party reports, drawing conclusions to support the end client in validating their suppliers' deliveries.
Technologies used
We combine cutting-edge hardware with certified processes to ensure maximum precision in every measurement.
Our experience in Metrology 4.0
In metalworking manufacturing, scanning the current state of the part to verify the correct positioning of welded elements, thus ensuring no issues arise during the machining stage.
Large-scale offshore foundations. Combination of methodologies to reduce field data acquisition time and obtain more data points.
High-precision dimensional control based on GD&T requirements from design drawings. Delivery of visual metrological reports that help the client analyze the part to identify areas with potential assembly/operation complications.
Comparative studies between reality and existing drawings of large structures using drone data capture and laser scanning.
In metalworking manufacturing, pre-machining part analysis for allowance verification.
Deviation analysis of valves in operation at two different stages, cold and hot. This verifies the correct operation of the installation and that deviations at different stages fall within expected values.
Scanning and 3D modelling of the current state of parts forming an equipment assembly for reverse engineering purposes to manufacture spare parts.
Obtaining the actual surfaces of each part for use in CAD/CAM programs instead of theoretical 3D models, thus adjusting machining to the reality of the part.
