(PLYMOUTH, MI; December 8, 2006) -- GKS Inspection Services, Inc., a global provider of dimensional measurement and laser scanning services, has improved the capabilities of its Surface Analyzer equipment in its Detroit-metro lab. "Surface finish evaluation is the study of tiny surface irregularities on anything ranging from medical and automotive parts to consumer and aerospace components," said Steve DeRemer, General Manager of the GKS Michigan regional office. "Our customers are able to have the expert technicians at GKS do the surface testing for them without having to purchase the equipment to evaluate the parts themselves. This saves expense and time in training and performing the analysis."
GKS continuously upgrades its Surface Analyzer hardware and software. The latest Mitutoyo Surfpak Series surface roughness analyzing programs measure three dimensional surfaces, and have high operability to easily exchange and manage data. Because GKS uses the most current international parameters and standards (ISO, DIN, etc.) to measure and report surface roughness, customers are able to maintain their own quality systems to industry standards. "Our world-class tools and technicians give clients the competitive edge, along with 'one-stop shopping' in contract measurement services," remarked DeRemer.
