Oak Ridge National Laboratory 

Inspection Equipment

The Machining and Inspection Research User Center maintains state-of-the-art dimensional and surface texture measuring equipment for use by our guest researchers during their visits to the High Temperature Materials Lab. Our highly qualified technical staff is available to assist researchers in the operation of the more complex equipment, such as the coordinate measuring machine (CMM). The CMM is actually an integrated metrology center with multiple inspection sensors.

Other inspection capabilities include contact and non-contact surface topography measurement; a non-contact, mini-moiré sensor; two optical comparators; and a form tester. Inspection equipment is computer controlled, and inspection data can be easily exported to advanced analysis software and CAD/CAM software using a laboratory-wide network.
