Precision Measuring Tools

Smart engineering and technology aiding manufacturing

Smart engineering and technology have often been the key drivers for any kind of industrial development.  In particular, the science of Precision Engineering has been and still is a core enabler for complex manufacturing processes in manufacturing. One such company that contributes to the Precision Engineering industry is Self Levelling Metal Machines (SLMM), part of the Self Levelling Machines (SLM) global network. 

Incorporated in 2000, SLMM is a Singapore-based alliance between Self Levelling Machines (Australia) and Metal Machines Engineering Services (Singapore). SLMM provides companies with large-scale, in-situ precision machining services such as boring, milling, and drilling.

“Most of our clients are from the Marine and Offshore industries. Some examples of the  offshore oil processing products we work on include  floating production storage offloading (FPSO) turret mooring systems, offshore cranes and catenary anchor leg mooring (CALM) buoys,” said SLMM Project Engineer Lok Qiuquan.

“The sizes of these components are so large that they cannot fit into a conventional machining centre, so we have to bring our machines to these clients instead, and machine parts for them on-site.” 

For every project that SLMM undertakes, surveys need to be conducted before and after the machining work.  Mock-up installations, machine alignments and geometrical dimension surveys are also part and parcel of every day work at SLMM.

 “These surveys require detailed measurements that are sometimes of very different natures,” Lok said. 

“Measurements can range from 30mm holes to 30m diameter structures, and typically involve using a variety of conventional instruments and hand tools.”  

While such methods have worked relatively well, SLMM was in search of a more efficient alternative. “As our projects became increasingly complex, we realised that we had to improve our workflow to prevent bottlenecking,” Lok said.
