Delphi Mexico Technical Center
Dimensional Measurement Laboratory
The Dimensional Measurement Laboratory at the Delphi Mexico
Technical Center (MTC) is a state-of-the-art dimensional
inspection facility designed to help engineering teams meet
industry certification standards and customer product specification
objectives. Delphi's team of highly trained and experienced
technicians uses advanced, high-tech equipment to provide
accurate and precise data for prototype and production
component inspection.
The laboratory is a certified temperature and humidity controlled
room. It specializes in services for automotive industry component
development, but also offers the flexibility to support a wide range
of non-automotive product programs.
Delphi's MTC Dimensional Measurement Laboratory ensures
complete confidentiality in all test activities and will provide highly
reliable data. Delphi offers the flexibility to meet the requirements
of customers around the world. Services are conducted to meet
program schedules and cost objectives as well as customer
specific documentation for prototype submissions.
� Capabilities
• Three Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM)
Provide high speed scanning for form and length
measurements, curve and freeform measurements, and
reverse engineering. They can accommodate a wide range of
component sizes.
