Marten Machining realizes that while being able to manufacture parts to a high degree of accuracy is important, being able to verify that accuracy is equally as important. In response the call for tighter part manufacturing tolerances and the ability to verify machining processes with certified traceability Marten Machining purchased a PMM-C P 12.10.7 in 2007. The Leitz PMM coordinate measuring machine is one of the most accurate CMMs produced and is certified according to ISO 10 360-2 to have a volumetric length measuring error of 0.6 + L / 600 [µm].

The machine is housed in a fully insulated room that is built inside the structure of the second addition to the facility.

The lab is fully temperature and humidity controlled with a Leibert cooling system. Temp and humidity levels are recorded and verified with 4 Veriteq sensors certified to be accurate within +/- .12 degrees C.

The Leitz PMM is coupled with powerful PC-DMIS CAD++ software provided by Hexagon Metrology to facilitate inspection directly from CAD models and Marten Machinings inspection staff has been trained in Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing from the International Institute of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (www.iigdt.com). The department is also lead by a certified ASME GD&T Professional.

To do GD&T analysis that conforms to the ASME Y14.5 standard Marten Machining uses Smart Profile software provided by Kotem Technologies.
