Eurotek, a specialist in Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), offers a comprehensive range of services, including sales of reconditioned CMMs, maintenance, calibration, CMM scanning and training. These services cater to various applications on CMM, including inspections, quality control, and surface reconstruction. As a new member of the Kreon Technologies group, Eurotek provides high-quality metrology services that complement Kreon’s 3D measurement solutions.
Investing in a used CMM from Eurotek provides a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new equipment, with savings ranging from 30% to 50% less than a new machine. The company provides a diverse selection of refurbished, high-quality CMMs from esteemed brands such as ZEISS, DEA, and LK.
Depending on the reconditioned machine, a rigorous refurbishment is carried out, which may include new software or new electronics. A warranty is systematically associated with guaranteeing reliability and performance, with no compromise on accuracy. Eurotek proposes services like installation and on-site training to facilitate seamless integration into existing workflows.
The calibration of a measuring arm or a CMM involves comparing the measurements of various geometric characteristics of the machine using different calibration methods. This calibration process may include a recalibration phase, either mechanical or software-based, to ensure compliance with the expected specifications.
Regular preventive maintenance ensures the optimal performance of a CMM by reducing the risk of breakdown and increasing its longevity. It involves thorough cleaning, inspecting worn parts, adjusting the drive systems, and verifying compliance with the manufacturer’s specifications. The frequency of maintenance depends on machine usage, environment, and operating conditions. It is often paired with calibration.
Curative maintenance addresses unexpected machine failures through rapid diagnosis and interventions. Depending on the issue, repairs may be performed immediately or require a follow-up visit for part replacement to fully restore functionality and compliance.
The Eurotek team of skilled technicians conducts regular inspections and necessary repairs to maintain the CMM at peak performance. Machines must also be properly maintained by the operator.
Industry certifications are important to ensure that CMMs and measuring devices can provide reliable metrological quality results.
The company Eurotek is accredited according to standard ISO-10360-2 for the verification of all brands of CMMs and within the scope of accreditation as defined under numbers 2-5463. This internationally recognised standard is used by most CMM manufacturers to qualify the performance of their machines.
Eurotek is also accredited for the verification of measuring arms according to the ISO 10360-12 standard, but also according to a unique method called ACTED (Arm CMM confirmation by Tetrahedron Device) technique. This method enables on-site verification of measuring arms, requiring minimal space and being achievable throughout the day, and it avoids equipment downtime.
Why ACTED method is important for the verification of your measuring devices?
A 3D scanner on a CMM significantly enhances productivity by combining ever-increasing scanning speed with automated machine control. Even the most complex parts are fully digitised, regardless of their surface finish.
By combining Eurotek's expertise with Kreon's 3D measurement solutions, clients can access a robust portfolio of metrology services and products. This collaboration ensures that businesses can maintain high standards of quality and accuracy in their manufacturing processes.
Kreon Zephyr III 3D scanner can be mounted on a CMM machine, offering high accuracy and extremely fine resolution to scan the finest tolerances, sharp edges and smallest details on any industrial parts made of any materials and finishing.
This industrial 3D scanner also enables you to perform probing by placing the probe directly under the scanner. This allows you to switch between the probing and scanning inspections in the same measurement range, without changing tools, for better productivity.
Paired with Metrologic Group's Metrolog X4 software, the Zephyr III enhances quality control tasks by extracting features for CAD comparison, generating color maps, and performing GD&T analyses.
Eurotek offers tailored programs for companies utilising coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), articulated measuring arms, and 3D scanners. These courses encompass both practical equipment handling and theoretical enhancements to user proficiency in operating CMMs and associated software, fostering improved efficiency and accuracy in measurement tasks.
Eurotek provides comprehensive training programs on-site, whether in France or abroad, and as a member of the réseau Measure, holding QUALIOPI certification (AFNOR certification), allowing you to benefit from the coverage of training.
Eurotek is a CMM specialist, offering a full spectrum of services, from high-quality reconditioned CMM sales to expert maintenance, calibration, and training. Their COFRAC accreditation, innovative verification methods, and advanced 3D scanning solutions reinforce their commitment to precision and quality. Supported by metrology experts, Eurotek guarantees companies optimal performance in their 3D measurement processes.
