Our mission at IIA is to make the world safer. Last December, one of our employees took that mission to a very personal level to help his neighbor.
As a growth-driven company, IIA is always excited to bring our laboratory testing, field inspections and engineering services to new people and places. Beyond geographic growth, we are always looking to offer new and improved services that make life easier for our customers.
When choosing whether or not to calibrate a CMM probe it is typically better to be safe than sorry, but there are some occasions where recalibration may be unnecessary.
In manufacturing and other industries where precision and accuracy are paramount, measuring tools play a critical role in ensuring quality and consistency. Among the most commonly used tools are Faro Arms and Laser Trackers, which are highly accurate devices designed to provide precise measurements of objects and surfaces.
With more than a century in service (and counting), the Kirkfield Lift lock in Kawartha Lakes City, Ontario, has stood the test of time. Still, the years take a toll on even the most solidly built structure. Non-destructive evaluations by qualified professionals play an important role in keeping this historic structure safe and sound.
Dimensional metrology is a field that is constantly evolving, driven by the need for ever-increasing accuracy and precision in a wide range of measurement processes. In recent years, advancements in technology have led to a significant expansion in the range and scope of dimensional metrology techniques, allowing for more sophisticated measurement capabilities and greater ease of use.
The customer, a major Midwestern utility, has long trusted IIA Lift Services to provide on-site live line tool testing. In late 2022, the utility asked if IIA could also provide on-site calibration of torque wrenches, which are used in the maintenance and repair of bucket trucks and other utility vehicles.
For some products, the manufacturing process does not end once those products are packaged and shipped out. In the case of automobile manufacturers, many of the final vehicle’s components come from various suppliers and are assembled to build the cars we enjoy driving.
Industrial Inspection & Analysis has been using this advancement as an inspection method for internal features on many different types of parts.
CT Scanning gets to the heart of intricate, parts using testing methods that require that the part remain unaltered can be a huge task. In the case of these parts, the features within can be extremely complex and layered, making it difficult to accurately obtain dimensional measurements without cutting into the part.
