High-Tech Engineering, a precision engineering company based in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, UK, has been using a Renishaw Equator gauging system. It is reaching 100 per cent part inspection and zero scrap while halving the operator requirements and reducing part production costs by 27 per cent.
Started in 1985 by managing director Steve Tickner, High-Tech Engineering worked in the motorsport industry, offering high-quality machined parts. The company has since moved into the aerospace sector and gained some key industry approvals, including becoming a preferred supplier to Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems.
