Catamount Machine Works uses Verisurf probing during in-process CNC Inspection

At Catamount Machine Works, we believe quality isn't something you check for at the end—it’s something you build into every step of the process. That’s why we use the Verisurf Machine Tool Probing (MTP) Suite to perform in-process, automated inspection directly on our CNC machines.

This capability supports our AS9100-certified quality system and allows us to verify parts in real-time, during machining—improving consistency, reducing waste, and delivering parts that meet exact aerospace specifications.

How We Use Verisurf MTP

The Verisurf MTP Suite integrates directly into our CNC machines, using probing routines that:

• Verify part setup and orientation

• Inspect features like hole position, flatness, and pocket depth

• Monitor for tool wear or drift mid-cycle

• Capture measurement data automatically for inspection reports

Rather than waiting until the part leaves the machine, we inspect it in-place—before any non-conformances can develop downstream. This approach helps us hit tight tolerances (often ±0.0005") on complex aerospace components on the first pass.

In-Process Inspection: A Strategic Advantage

Our use of in-process probing through Verisurf allows us to:

• Detect dimensional shifts during long or critical machining cycles

• Automatically correct part alignment and tool offsets

• Eliminate guesswork and reduce manual inspection time

• Generate digital records that feed directly into FAIRs, CMM reports, and AS9100 documentation

For customers in aerospace and defense, this means faster delivery times, greater reliability, and fully documented compliance—with no surprises.

Typical Parts We Probe Inline

We apply Verisurf MTP probing for parts like:

• Complex 3-axis housings

• Aerospace brackets with tight hole tolerances

• Multi-surface components requiring setup validation

• First article components needing full traceability

Our machinists run these probes as part of the CNC cycle, so the inspection becomes seamless and repeatable—just like the machining process itself.

How This Supports AS9100 & Customer Expectations

By integrating Verisurf MTP into our machining cells, we meet and exceed the documentation and verification requirements of:

• AS9100D

• ISO 9001

• ITAR

• Defense program AS9102C FAIRs

We produce digital reports that tie directly into your inspection package—reducing the time needed to verify compliance on your end.
