Dimensional Inspection: A 20 Year History

  This month, Nel Pretech celebrates its 20th year anniversary as contract dimensional inspection specialists. The company started back in 1993 with limited capabilities such as the non-contact, hand-driven Micro Vu measuring machine (pictured here).

  Over the years, customer demand for more complex measurement solutions and size requirements grew. This led NPC into the realm of programmable auto-driven video systems and contact CMM inspection equipment.

  In the year 2000, NPC's quality management system became accredited to ISO 9002 and ISO/IEC 17025 for commercial laboratories. In January of 2004 A2LA accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 was received. By 2013, NPC is also ITAR compliant and has completed over 10,000 jobs. These jobs have encompassed a wide gamut of product including but not limited to the industries of : plastic injection molding, food packaging, aerospace, medical, automotive, government/defense and communications.
  Other services include: 3D scanning, CT scanning, reverse engineering, true position gage design, large part inspection and first article inspection.

True Position Gage: Update

We received the new gage from our machinist and couldn't be happier! The new gage was constructed of hardened steel and should resist the effects of environmental corrosion which caused our customer's previous gage to fail. The gage has passed the certification process with flying colors and has been shipped to our customer!  Here's a few pics of the completed gage.

True Position Gage

         

This CAD model was designed during a recent reverse engineering job by NPC. One of our customers had a true position gage that had corroded and was no longer useful to them. They gave us the old gage and asked us to build a new one. The process started by taking measurements from the original gage and recording them. This gave us enough data to build a CAD model (pictured here). Once the CAD model was made, blueprints were also able to be generated and given to our machinist. The new gage is now being built and will be delivered to our customer upon completion. I’ll post more pics of the completed gage soon!

Don't pop your top!

We get a variety of different types of jobs here at NPC. Here is one of our food packaging jobs: the salad bowl. We work closely with the quality departments of several food packaging vendors to ensure mating parts fit correctly. Thanks to our services, you won't be vacuuming that chicken salad off of your car seat after your next drive thru visit!

And in the left corner...weighing in at just over 2000 pounds...The BEHEMOTH!!! After this part gets inspected it will help move material in some of the world's most challenging deep mining operations.

We won’t give you a snow job, but you can give us one!! These snow blower components are welded together to a tight tolerance and require careful precise measurement in Nel Pretech’s environmentally controlled lab.

How Big is Your Pee Tube?  A recent Nel Pretech evaluation of this Urinary Catheter from a major medical manufacturer found the length to be 2.54238 feet.
