Core Services started in 1998 providing field repair and calibration services on Sheffield CMM’s and like models. The following year we began developing the CMM rebuild process by purchasing our first machines. Work started, creating an inventory of parts, specialized tooling and control procedures. One simple philosophy was adopted; make the machines BETTER than NEW. Kingdom come deliverance console commands weather.

We address the interior as well as the exterior. Parts such as the cable harness, air lines, bearings (air and mechanical), switches, solenoids, and regulators, filters, cooling fans, servo motors, drive belts and other wear item are replaced.

Each machine is disassembled, cleaned, sanded, surface defects repaired, painted, and new graphics installed.

Discovery CMM Provides Fully Automatic Shop Floor Inspection

Designed with input from machine shop operators and fabricators, the Discovery CMM works on shop floors near CNC machine tools. This direct computer controlled machine can verify part quality and check machine tool setups 20 times faster than old fashioned hard gage methods or manual 'flexible gages.' Its repeatability offers consistent measurement results regardless of operator experience. And it provides a simplified way for machine tool operators to employ statistical process control.

Easy to operate
One of the primary design criteria for this machine was that it be easy to use by machinists and other workers with no metrology experience. Equipped with MaxLite inspection software, Discovery's operator interface is so clear and intuitive that no special training is needed by anyone familiar with standard part drawing symbols. It can also run part programs written on any standard Cordax or Sheffield CMM.

Ideal for production areas
The shop-hardened Discovery CMM also needs no special site considerations, not even an air supply. After plugging into a standard 110 volt outlet (220 volts in Europe), it's ready to run. Equipped with a rolling stand, Discovery can be easily moved to any location where it's needed. Discovery CMMs are available in three models, with a measuring envelope up to 760mm/30½ x 1000mm/40½ x 600mm/24½. All Discovery models provide volumetric accuracy to 13 microns and repeatability to 2.5 microns.
