OUR EXPERTISE

CALIBRATION & METROLOGY SERVICE

DC SWISS has a metrology lab that is accredited by the Swiss Accreditation
Service as a laboratory for calibrating lengths.

DC SWISS is able to offer a calibration and metrology service for screw connections.

A certificate is written confirmation of the quality of a company’s metrological equipment. DC NANO TOOLS SA
(SCS accreditation 0143), a member of the DC SWISS Group, can inspect and calibrate thread plug gauges as well
as thread ring gauges in accordance with the ISO 17025 international standard.

Our tools are the result of numerous studies. We design them using all the knowledge we have acquired over many
years, always testing them to their utmost limits. We share all this knowledge with you in the form of our services. Our
aim is to provide the most appropriate solution in each case, from feasibility study right through to mass production.

We are experts in all aspects of the process of screw threading, and are able to offer you our assembly expertise from
design, machining and metrological inspection through the various stages of creating screw connections.

Design expertise
Each design is unique, but there are often multiple solutions. We can advise you on which type of screw fixing to
choose, for example adjustable, self-locking or high-quality screws. During the design phase, we can help your de-
signers to identify and decide the best-performing screw fixing in terms of dimensions, practicality, production costs
and assembly.

Machining expertise
Each tool calls for special programming involving numerous parameters. We can help you to get the best out of your
machines and tools in order to achieve maximum performance via personalised programming. We can provide you with
support in the inspection and measurement phase, so you can be sure of having produced the screw thread you were
expecting. And if a tool needs to be customised, we can do this so that it meets all your requirements. Often, a particular
approach to fitting makes it possible to resolve a problem caused by complex geometry or unusual positioning.

Metrological expertise

We supply a large number of measuring gauges and also advice on how to use and inspect them in order to ensure
the required quality is consistently achieved. Other more specific measures are available, such as concentricity and
certification measures. We can assist you in setting up control procedures. This service is available for pitch diame-
ters of 0.1 to 3.0 mm, and external diameters of 0.1 to 3.5 mm. Don’t take the risk – benefit from the expertise of DC
NANO TOOLS SA to calibrate your measuring tools.

Training
In our application centre and our laboratory, we distribute full information and advice on best practice to all our cus-
tomers in the design, manufacture and use of screw fixings. We can provide on-demand training in specific subjects
such as secure fixings.
