Like the technologies that underpin our business, the services we provide at Verus Metrology Partners are constantly improving and evolving.

One such service is our Sub-Contract Metrology offering, which provides a tailored inspection service, giving clients access to the experience, knowledge, and technology of our experts on a sub-contract basis.

We’ve recently revised this service to ensure that it is of optimum value for our clients.

Sub-Contract Metrology is an aspect of our business that is in sharp focus for us as our clients increasingly look for sub-contracted services – be that Dimensional Inspection, a Validation Metrology Service, Calibration & Certification or use of our Inspection Machines.

As part of the revision of Sub-Contract Metrology, we have introduced a new pricing structure based on a half-day or daily rate rather than on the number of dimensions measured.

We have also introduced price discounts on a sliding scale, applicable to all projects completed during each 30-day period throughout the year.

• A discount of 5% will be applied on the 3rd day of each project
• A discount of 10% will be applied on the 5th day of each project
• a discount of 15% will be applied on the 10th day of each project

“The new structure is more cost-effective for our customers,” says Jon Stabler, Metrology Applications Manager, who is based at Verus’ offices in the UK. “We’re noticing an increased need for Sub-Contract Metrology because clients don’t have the capacity to do it themselves; perhaps because someone is sick, a machine is down or because they have an overflow of work they need to get through. Our approach is to work with clients on a partnership basis to the point that we often operate as an external department for them”.

“Our clients also often need to get a second opinion. If they have parts from a supplier that they measure internally but believe might have an issue; they send it to us to get an independent check in a lab environment by OEM-certified engineers.

“Under Sub-Contract Metrology, we also do First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs) – where a customer wants to make a part, we measure the first article that they have created so they know it is fine to start manufacturing in bulk,” says Jon.

“One of the key advantages for a client in choosing Verus Metrology Partners for Sub-Contract Metrology is that we offer a quick turnaround with high-quality reports at a very good price,” says Hazel Rooney, Metrology Manager, based in Ireland.

Verus’ Sub-Contract Metrology services are available to customers under four headings:

DIMENSIONAL INSPECTION

We provide a tailored sub-contract inspection service where experts from the Verus metrology team can provide you with a range of specific services on a sub-contracting basis – from initial sample inspection reports (ISIR) and tool validation to measurement procedure creation and on-site metrology support.

Verus experts will work with you to ensure that any project that needs accurate dimensional measurements is completed within the fastest possible turnaround while maintaining the highest level of quality.

VALIDATION METROLOGY SERVICE

Verus partners with clients to provide a full validation metrology service, allowing you to reduce the amount of time and resources spent on this time-consuming process. Using our bespoke metrology fixtures, equipment, software, and equivalent metrology machines, we can guarantee our clients’ validation service is completed quickly and to the highest possible standards.

We pride ourselves in providing our clients with an efficient service that guarantees confidence in the metrology data.

CALIBRATION & CERTIFICATION

One of our specialities at Verus is the certification of non-standard bespoke gauges and our experts have created a standard procedure for the inspection and testing of such gauges, developed over years of working closely with clients.

We also calibrate and certify a wide variety of standard gauges, providing these services to a wide range of clients across numerous sectors. Our aim is to provide both accredited, traceable calibration and verification of both standard and non-standard gauges.

METROLOGY EQUIPMENT

With a wide variety of inspection machines, we only provide bespoke solutions to our clients. Our machines are of the highest standards and are calibrated and kept in a temperature-controlled environment to ensure they are fully compliant with international standards.

Our expert engineers are fully trained and certified by the OEMs as well as through our own in-house training and development programme.

At Verus Metrology Partners, we strive to provide solutions and maintain close partnerships with clients.
