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
