Quality Inspection & Metrology for Deep Holes

Quality Inspection & Metrology for Deep Holes

CMM, bore gauges, straightness, and surface-roughness testing verify diameter, position, straightness, and finish—using calibrated equipment (up to 0.001 mm accuracy) with traceable reports.

Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)

Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)

Precision 3D dimensional inspection, accuracy up to 0.001 mm.

Bore Gauge (Hole Diameter Gauge)

Bore Gauge (Hole Diameter Gauge)

High-accuracy bore measurement with automatic data logging.

Straightness Tester

Straightness Tester

Deep-hole straightness inspection to ensure bore perpendicularity.

Surface Roughness Tester (Profilometer)

Surface Roughness Tester (Profilometer)

Checks bore surface finish to ensure the Ra value meets spec.

Frequently Asked Question

For more information, please contact us
What materials can you drill? +
Carbon/alloy steels, mold steels, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, copper/brass, and some engineering plastics (e.g., acrylic). Contact us for special materials.
What hole sizes and depths can you handle? +
Typical capacity Ø4–60 mm; depths up to ~1,500 mm (method-dependent).
What accuracy can you achieve? +
φ2–32 mm ±0.02 mm; φ35–120 mm ±0.05 mm; straightness ≤0.01 mm per meter; surface finish Ra 0.2–0.6 μm.
How fast can you deliver rush jobs? +
With 24/7 capacity, some urgent parts can ship within 24 hours depending on specs and quantity. Standard orders: 3–7 working days.
Do you support customer-supplied material or turnkey? +
Both. Send your material or let us source steel/aluminum locally; bulk purchasing can reduce total cost.
What do you need for a quote? +
2D/3D drawings with hole diameter, depth, tolerance, position, quantity, material, and any heat-treat/finish requirements (STEP/IGES/DWG accepted).
Do you provide inspection reports? +
Yes. Diameter, straightness, and surface roughness reports available. CMM and dedicated gauges are calibrated with traceable records.
What processes do you use? +
Gun drilling and BTA; we choose based on diameter, depth, and chip evacuation to ensure stable quality and efficiency.
