Precision Measurement Systems
... we are metrology
Quality is at the heart modern manufacturing. The integration of Metrology tools into the manufacturing quality processes is paramount to product safety, consistency, reliability and compliance.
Established in 1963, LK Metrology has pioneered several groundbreaking metrology innovations. Our legacy includes:
- The first “Bridge Type” multi-axis coordinate measuring machine
- The first OEM to integrate a computer with a CMM
- The first to develop inspection software specifically for use on a CMM
- The first CMMs with Horizontal Spindles; Granite Slideways; Carbon Fiber Spindles
- The world’s largest Twin-Bridge CMM
Today, we continue to innovate and provide metrology systems, services and solutions to the Aerospace, Automotive, Medical, Energy and Defense sectors.
The Altera Family
With throughput, precision, multipurpose, shopfloor and custom options available, ALTERA is the most configurable CMM platform for quality and process control measurement.


Altera C
Ultra-stable compact ceramic bridge and spindle guideway for applications where precision measurement is needed in tight spaces or for smaller products. The Altera C is compact and therefore easy to install in any environment where metrology is required.


Altera SLHA
Drawing on over 50 years of LK CMM experience, the ALTERA SLHA has been optimized for the most challenging tasks and highest precision. The innovative short-leg bridge design increases accuracy to the highest level for metrology laboratory equivalent measurement uncertainty.


Altera M & SCANTeK 5
Exclusively designed for high-speed multi-sensor metrology, the ALTERA M is the preferred choice for automotive and aerospace OEMs and other manufacturers of performance-critical components. The ALTERA M series of CMMs achieve high accuracy and speed for larger parts.
