The Patternshop utilises the skills of
time-served Patternmakers, a number of whom were trained
throughout their apprenticeship by the Company. In support, an
active and successful Modern Apprenticeship scheme exists to
ensure a continuous supply of skilled employees.

Electronic digital measuring equipment is complimented
by the company's three axis digital portage machine and is
utilised during lay-out, construction and dimensional
verification of pattern equipment. |
|
All patternmaking processes, controls and
equipment are effectively controlled via our well-established
Quality Systems, which are assessed to meet the requirements of
BS.EN.ISO 9002 & QS9000. Naturally, all pattern equipment is
dimensionally verified prior to release for production and/or
first-off sample casting verification.

Where precise dimensional tolerances and
controls have to be met, the customer is increasingly specifying
patterns and coreboxes to be mechanically produced by CNC
machining. SCC achieve this by using OEM or SCC produced three
dimensional CAD models. In addition, we are able to offer short
lead time samples utilising numerically controlled R.P. processes
such as L.O.M. for initial sampling patterns etc.
|
|
SCC have the capability to verify dimensional
conformance of both black castings and finished components with
our Three Axis D.R.O Portage Measuring Machine. This
simplifies dimensional verification, providing close tolerance
accuracy and three axis digital electronic read-out to
0.020mm/0.0010inches. It permits measurement of all linear
dimensions, bore locations and profiles using a single set-up,
reducing inspection time and eliminating the incidence of multiple
set-up errors.
Upon request a comprehensive dimensional report can be
provided.
