How does portable CMM inspection work?

A portable CMM is a handheld or arm-based coordinate measuring device that can be set up and operated anywhere — on your shop floor, at a fabrication yard, or in the field — without requiring a dedicated inspection room. Unlike a fixed bridge-style CMM, which requires parts to be brought to the machine, a portable CMM brings the measurement capability to the part. HAK's portable CMM captures complex geometries and parts in tight spaces with high accuracy, using powerful measuring software to generate the same quality of dimensional data you would expect from a laboratory environment — without the disruption to your production workflow.

How quickly can HAK complete a metrology project in Austin?

Turnaround time depends on project scope, part complexity, the services required, and your location within the Austin area. HAK is committed to working within the production timelines of our clients — we understand that a delayed inspection report means a delayed shipment, and we treat schedule adherence as a core part of our service commitment. For time-sensitive projects, including first article inspections ahead of customer delivery deadlines, contact us directly with your requirements and deadline. We will give you a clear answer on timing and do everything we can to meet it.

Why should I outsource dimensional inspection instead of doing it in-house?

Outsourcing dimensional inspection and NDE to a specialist like HAK gives you access to high-accuracy equipment — including a Leitz bridge-style CMM, ISO 17025-certified laser tracker, and structured light scanning systems — that would be costly to purchase, maintain, staff, and keep calibrated in-house. It also gives you ASNT-certified NDE technicians and GD&T expertise on demand, without the overhead of permanent specialist headcount. For manufacturers in Austin's fast-moving semiconductor, medical device, and automotive sectors, outsourcing metrology is often both a quality improvement and a cost reduction — freeing your internal resources for the production activities that generate direct value.
