CMM/QUALITY ASSURANCE

Our Standard CMM capabilities, together with our Portable CMM capabilities allow us to collect solid data through every phase of the building process. All of our CMM systems utilize PCDMIS software (Personal Computer Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard). This further enhances our capabilities, giving us the ability to make fast comparisons between “as-built” and “as-designed” data, as well as the ability to easily reverse-engineer existing components in a CAD-friendly environment.

MLS Systems has extensive experience with widely accepted quality assurance standards such as CPK and Six Sigma, and our cutting edge capabilities further enhance our ability to satisfy the customer’s quality assurance requirements.

DEPARTMENTS

Our mission is to provide excellent customer service and on time delivery of quality, competitively priced solutions.

Our group of experienced engineers will develop a partnership with your company to solve your production problems from conception to completion. This partnership allows our Mechanical and Controls Engineers, Designers, and Machine Builders to define your equipment requirements and provide the most efficient and effective solution. This provides a competitive proposal for highly reliable, fully tested and delivered on time equipment ready for smooth integration into your production facility. The net result is an outstanding value for our customers.

A staff of experienced designers uses AutoCAD to design new and rebuild machines to customer specifications and in accordance with the concepts generated by the Sales and Application Engineers. Primary design criteria are (1) customer specifications; (2) part quality/tolerance; (3) maintainability: (4) safety; (5) accessibility.

A complete manufacturing facility with up-to-date equipment for fabricating, assembling, wiring, testing, painting, and shipping your equipment. All machines are fully debugged and developed on our floor prior to shipment. Employees are cross-trained to ensure the most efficient operation with the best cost and delivery to the customer. The same technicians that build and test your machine will start it up again at your facility.

Upon request, shipping and installation at the customer’s facility can be included. Along with our long term record for “on-time” delivery comes our un-blotted reputation for back up service and customer support in the field. A one-year warranty is standard, and longer terms can be negotiated to meet your needs. Rebuilding and/or retooling machines is also a large part of the MLS Systems business plan.
