Quality & inspection
Precision mouldings meet cutting-edge vision systems Miles Platts, a leading designer and manufacturer of precision technical mouldings, produces over eight million units every month. They specialise in high- precision, tight-tolerance components made from engineering polymers. Known for their expertise in coil bobbins and electrical insulation solutions, they supply a wide range of industries, each with demanding measurement requirements.
solution that could meet the exacting demands of their production processes. Their search led them to the AVR300 CNC Vision System from Starrett, a tool celebrated for its accuracy, reliability, and versatility. Precision meets productivity At the core of Miles Platts’ operations is the need to carry out precise, repeatable measurements across a wide range of parts, often more than 50 components per capability study. The AVR300’s rapid, automated measuring capability enables shop floor
staff to perform these measurements with minimal training, a transformational change highlighted by Jonathan Fraser, Quality Manager at Miles Platts. He explained, “This powerful feature allows me to preprogram the automated measurement of specific parts, enabling capability studies to be conducted by production staff without extensive training.” The integration of Starrett’s advanced 3D measuring software provides a seamless user experience, significantly reducing inspection times while improving consistency. This efficiency
To maintain their competitive edge and support ambitious growth plans, Miles Platts recently invested in advanced inspection technology to enhance their quality assurance and operational efficiency. With decades of experience and a long- standing partnership with Optimax, Miles Platts sought a state-of-the-art automated measurement
