Precision manufacture and measurement laboratory (PMML)

PMML is carrying out fundamental research to enable the measurement and compensation of manufacturing errors in precision manufacturing, including the measurement, modeling, and compensation of geometric and thermally-induced errors in CNC machine tools, in-situ dimensional metrology, evaluation of measurement accuracy and uncertainty. The lab is well equipped with access to several precision CNC machine tools, a coordinate measuring machine, high precision encoders, laser interferometers, contact and non-contact measurement instruments. PMML has established collaboration with renowned universities including the University of Nottingham, Huddersfield University and Ecole Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Saint Etienne (ENISE).
