Frequently asked

What customers ask about contour measurement

Which characteristics do you measure in the contour section?
Radii, angles, chamfers, groove forms, thread profiles and free-form contours in section, as a comparison against the nominal contour from the drawing or CAD.
Are the instruments calibrated?
Yes. The stylus instruments are calibrated with traceable standards; on request, we enclose the evidence with your documentation. What a calibration proves (German) →

Describe your measurement task.

Describe the contour and the characteristic. Quotes are effort-based and transparent.
