Metro-FORM is a silicone based polymer that can be injected into blind holes, internal cavities and threaded components. Where conventional techniques would involve the destructive testing of a component, Metro-FORM allows a highly accurate internal representation of the component to be made, leaving the original test piece intact. The moulding can then be easily removed and measured using standard non-contact gauging equipment.
Fast and easy to use
Minimal shrinkage ensures accurate measurements
Range of compounds for different components
Suitable for a wide range of measurements including:
internal threads, injectors, mould cavities, dies, internal bores, blind holes
Non-destructive Internal Dimension Measurement
The high performance silicone polymer is elastic enough to allow removal, but stable enough to reproduce the moulded shape to a very high level of accuracy. A range of silicon compounds is available to ensure maximum accuracy for component parts.
The easy to use Metro-FORM kit allows for rapid preparation of internal feature mouldings, on the shop floor. In a matter of minutes, these can be removed and accurately measured using. The original component is left undamaged.
Everything needed to create the moulding is included in the kit. Production downtime is minimised and test component scrap is eliminated.
