Measurement Services
An Accredited 3D Measurement Laboratory for Your Measurement Tasks
Tactile, optical or computed tomography: our equipment covers the full range of industrial metrology. Since 27 August 2010 our site in Wilen b. Wil has been accredited to SN EN ISO/IEC 17025 – your results are demonstrably traceable and impartially documented.
We measure initial samples, series parts and one-offs: stamped and bent parts, dies and punches, die-cast and injection-moulded parts, free-form surfaces, and internal structures that cannot be reached from the outside. You receive the result as an inspection-ready measurement report.
Our Measurement Methods at a Glance
Tactile Measurement Technology
Contact-based measurement using probes – the classic method for form and position deviations, diameters, surfaces and free-form geometries.

Optical Metrology
Non-contact measurement on the ZEISS O-INSPECT multisensor measuring system. Optical sensors, touch sensors and white-light sensors in a single machine – fast for regular geometries, initial sampling and series measurement.
Computed Tomography
The ZEISS METROTOM scans the component with X-rays and reconstructs it in three dimensions. This lets us determine dimensions, wall thicknesses and volumes, and inspect internal structures without destroying the part.
3D Digitization / Reverse Engineering
From physical object to digital 3D model – the basis for product development, quality assurance, or reconstructing components for which no drawing exists.
Surface Roughness and Contour Measurement
Tactile measurement of surface finish and contour – for quality control, product development and manufacturing optimisation.

Initial Sample Inspection
Metrological initial sample inspection with a VDA inspection report (EMPB): marked drawing, every characteristic with nominal, actual and evaluation – measured tactilely, optically or by CT.

Application Support
We come to you: support on your own equipment – WENZEL CMM (Quartis), ZEISS O-Inspect (Calypso) and measurements on your CT data (VGSTUDIO MAX 3.5 / Volume Graphics and ZEISS INSPECT Pro).
Which Method Suits Your Task?
You do not need to decide in advance. If the feature to be inspected lies inside the component, computed tomography is usually the only option. For tight form and position tolerances on accessible geometries, tactile measurement is normally the most accurate route; for regular geometries in series production, optical measurement is the fastest. A combination is often the best answer.
Describe your measurement task and we will propose the right method.
What this looks like in practice is shown in our typical measuring tasks – and which method fits when is explained in the article CT or tactile measurement?
