Trimos Horizontal Measuring Instruments

Metrology has always been focused on precision and repeatability. It is still Trimos intention nowadays to push the performances of its avant-garde instruments ever closer to the limits of physics. However, the instruments also have to be adapted to workshops conditions as well as to the parts to be measured.

As an example, for a simple calliper, we speak of a precision of 20µm. This same calliper is checked with 10-time more precise gauge blocks, which in turn will be calibrated with a horizontal measuring bench of yet another 10-time higher precision. It is for the calibration of high precision measuring instruments in particular that Trimos has developed a complete range of horizontal instruments.

Trimos series goes from a small instrument with a measuring range of 50 mm, to instruments with measuring ranges reaching up to 12 meters. The highest precision obtainable is in the order of 0.1 µm.

The principal users of Trimos horizontal instruments are active in the following industries:

Automobile

Aeronautics

Machine Tool

Watch Making

Rail Industry

Medical

Materials

Optics

Electronics...

Trimos measuring instruments are used in workshops and laboratories worldwide. They are entirely designed and manufactured in Switzerland by Trimos.
