Automated Precision Services Division Expands to New Building
This new 14,000 sq ft of office and calibration laboratory space will service and support the increasing demand of their newer Omnitrac 2 laser tracker models.
Posted: March 22, 2017
Automated Precision Inc. Services Division (Newport News, VA) answered the strong demand to expand their footprint by purchasing and moving into a new building in Oyster Point’s City Center. This new facility is located at 750 City Center Boulevard, Newport News, VA 23606, and boasts 14,000 sq ft of office and calibration laboratory space.
Calibrations for API Laser Trackers were routinely performed at the Newport News facility since 2012, but with the newer Omnitrac 2 laser tracker models increasing in demand, additional capacity was required to service these advanced measurement instruments with continued excellent service. The capacity of the old facility did not allow for concurrent contract metrology and product testing in parallel to the laser tracker calibration and repair activities.
As an additional benefit, API now has room for their expanding team. They maintain a complete business staff including sales, marketing and administrative personnel, and have been recruiting additional application engineers to better support their service customers. Besides Laser Tracker Calibration and Repair services in the new facility, the company will also offer customer training, contract measurement services, laser scanning and modeling, as well as robot performance testing. API provides calibration of user’s multi-axis CNC machines and offsite process using their volumetric error compensation (VEC) methodology.
To celebrate this expansion, API is hosting an open house on April 6 that will be filled with demos, speakers, mock training sessions, networking opportunities, prizes, and much more! For more information and to register for this event, please click here.
