Industrial metrology expertise for when measurement capability is pushed to its limits.
Arrow Engineering provides practical, clear, and technically rigorous metrology consulting for manufacturing teams. We specialize in high precision manufacturing environments but welcome measurement challenges from various industrial sources. We are a great fit when you’re troubleshooting correlation issues, validating a measurement system, or selecting the appropriate equipment. We bring structure, clarity, and repeatable methodology to your measurement challenges.
Who This Service Is For
- Operations in tight-tolerance, capability-demanding manufacturing environments
- Organizations facing recurring correlation disputes between equipment, plants, or suppliers
- Teams needing clarity on MSA methodology, uncertainty contributors, or measurement strategy
- Engineers evaluating new measurement equipment or upgrading existing measurement systems
- Companies desiring to build internal metrology capability without trial-and-error
Typical Metrology Challenges We Solve
Correlation & Capability Issues
Misalignment between systems or plants, unexplained bias, GR&R failures, and inconsistent operator methods.
Ambiguous or Incomplete Measurement Plans
Measurement plans that vary by operator, don’t translate between measurement platforms, or lack uncertainty justification.
Equipment Selection Decisions
Choosing between measurement systems based on actual capability requirements, independent from marketing claims.
Unclear MSA Execution & Interpretation
Teams performing MSAs (measurement system analysis) but unsure how to interpret the results or fix poor outcomes.
What You Receive
Our consulting engagements produce immediate, actionable deliverables:
- Correlation Study & Root-Cause Analysis
- Structured cross-platform correlation testing
- Analysis of repeatability, bias, reproducibility, and method variation
- Clear findings and recommended corrective actions
- Measurement Strategy & Plan Optimization
- Review or creation of part-specific measurement strategies
- Method selection guidance (scanning, discrete points, alignment strategy, etc.)
- Measurement uncertainty considerations and risk assessment
- Equipment Selection Support
- Capability analysis tied to your tolerance requirements
- Objective comparison of OEM systems
- Roadmap for implementation, validation, and training
- MSA Coaching & Execution
- Support for GR&R, bias, repeatability, linearity, and stability studies
- Interpretation of results with practical recommendations
- Templates and procedures for repeatable execution
Platforms & Tools We Support
While our metrology consulting services are OEM-agnostic, we have experience working with:
- OGP Zone3
- Zeiss Calypso
- PC-DMIS
- Modus (Renishaw Equator)
- Vision and multi-sensor platforms
- Form-tester, profilometer, interferometry, microscopy systems
- Custom gaging, fixtures, and manual metrology tools
Our approach emphasizes measurement methodology, not just software applications. This ensures solutions that are transferable across platforms.
