Superior inspection tools help jet boards hit the water: Accuracy of components is vital for sports equipment

摘要

M-CNC Precision Engineering is using Bowers inspection tools to ensure accuracy on components used in a range of adrenaline sports, including jet boarding. Based in Somerset, the company manufactures parts for Riders Racing of Riders Motorcycles, centre plates for advanced rotary engines for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and engine components for Mako Boardsports' jet-powered surf boards. Mako's flagship board is propelled by the XT100 engine, a 100cc unit that can propel riders at speeds up to 55km/h. But delivering components for an engine that can slot into a surf board requires extreme precision, and quality measurement equipment is essential.
