What We Do
Embedded Metrology Inspection for High-Performance Components

With a full suite of industry-leading inspection technologies, we deliver precision and repeatability at every stage, perfect for sectors where accuracy and reliability can’t be compromised.

 

Our advanced metrology capabilities include:

  • 8x Coordinate Measuring Machines
  • 7x CMMs running PC-DMIS and 1x with Quindos software
  • 4x 3D laser scanners
  • 3x Yxlon CT scanners
  • Endoscopic inspection in our PDI
CT Scanning for Non-Destructive Testing and Internal Validation

Prototyping is often used to help engineers gain a better understanding of their parts, whether it’s for optimising material or mechanical properties or for testing production methods for Make Like Production (MLP).

Advanced Metrology & Inspection Capabilities
  • 8x Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) for external dimensional verification, including the Global S Chrome CMM with X1H analogue scanning head for ultra-precise surface measurement and intricate geometries.
  • 7x CMMs running PC-DMIS and 1x with Quindos software, ideal for critical dimension metrology, including complex features like guides, seats, and bores.
  • 4x 3D laser scanners, used both in our metrology labs and on the shop floor for real-time inline inspection and process feedback.
  • 3x Yxlon CT scanners, combined with VG Elements software, allow for in-depth porosity evaluation, wall thickness analysis, and defect detection.

Endoscopic inspection in our PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) areas for detailed internal validation, ensuring casting integrity before final assembly.

We Go Beyond Measurement

Our integrated Metrology services enhance manufacturing performance through early intervention, data-led decision-making and continuous improvement.

Innovation at the Cutting Edge
Uncompromising Dimensional Accuracy

Inspection insights feed directly into our production environment, helping you refine processes, maintain consistency and accelerate delivery times.

FAQ's
Everything You Need to Know
What is Metrology in Engineering and Manufacturing?
plus-icon

Metrology is the science of measurement, applied to ensure precision and dimensional accuracy in manufactured components. At Grainger & Worrall, metrology is built into every phase of production, supporting better outcomes from casting to final machining.

Why is Dimensional Verification Critical in Casting and Machining?
plus-icon

Without accurate metrology inspection, faults can go unnoticed until late-stage production, causing delays, rework or failures in critical environments. Our services catch defects early and validate every detail.

How Do You Inspect Internal Structures Without Damaging the Component?
plus-icon

We use advanced CT scanning and endoscopy for non-destructive internal validation, allowing us to identify internal flaws, porosity and wall thickness variances without cutting or machining the part.

Do You Support Component Validation on Low Volumes or Prototypes?
plus-icon

Yes – our metrology solutions are scalable, from one-off prototypes to high-volume production runs. We provide dimensional reporting, validation and feedback to accelerate development and ensure confidence at every stage.
